The Day After Tomorrow - 5

This film follows a scenario of global warming and the ice caps melting creating chaos in the northern hemisphere. It doesn't hide its political bent whatsoever. The Vice-President looks like a handsome Dick Cheney, and in the end takes responsibility for greenhouse gases. It is a good action adventure film, even if you know pretty much how it will end; family and trust are more important than politics. This film makes itself more complex than most by following four story lines, while focusing on the one between father and son (played well by Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllenhaal). While sticking to the formula it is non the less entertaining and the special effects make the film worth a viewing.
