Most of the Sfx (0 more)
Poor plot (1 more)
Some dodgy CGI
A large helping of cheese
Well I finally gave this a whirl not expecting much. It seems like a CGI led disaster film in The day after tomorrow mould. To combat climate change the world has come together to build a network of satellites to control the weather. It predictably starts to go wrong, cue scenes of mass distruction around the globe and needs to be fixed.
The cast was quite impressive and the SFX overall were good. It suffers badly from the weak plot and characters though. Ok for a watch but not a patch on The day after tomorrow, Deep impact and many others.

Roland Emmerich sure likes his disaster movies.

This is his 2014 disaster movie that, taking climate change as it's starting point, has entered the popular vernacular - "it's like the day after tomorrow out there" - and, until the movie 2012 came along (I'm typing this in 2019) also must have held the record for portraying natural disaster on the big screen.

The main focus of this one is on both Jake Gylenhall and Dennis Quaid, with the former becoming trapped in New York when a series of natural disasters leads to a new ice-age leading to the latter (who, natch, is an experienced climatologist) to trek has way across the frozen North America to rescue his son.
