YOu people don't understand! The book was published mid 60's, so i think that it was probably coincedence that it had the similar name as a film. But the book is sabout a guy who sees his fathers killer and is drawn into a massive political conspirisy that is frankly qiute mind-boggling. THere is definitly no global warming or nuclear aftermath in it. So they did steal it. and that is that.

AJAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY DID NOT STEAL THE NAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hardly a day goes by that i do not say the phrase "the day after tomorrow." It is an insanely commmon phrase. It's not surprising that a book and movie both ended up using it for their title. In fact, I'm surprised more haven't done it.

P.S. Very nice catalyt.

i have to agree with Soma, the day after tommorow is insanely common, you use it all the time without realising so it can really be stealing the name of it.

catalyst may i just say that that was absolute genius

So who saw it? I want to know what your thoughts are on the film. Was the plot bad? Was the film saved by amazing special effects? Or was it just an overall good movie?

[Anonymous]

Ive seen it, very good film indeed.  Especially the ravaging wolves!!!!!!!!!!!
RUN THEY ARE BEHIND YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Entertaining.  I'm good at suspending my disbelief, so I'm much less critical of movies than most of my friends.  I felt I got my money's worth.  I'm in San Luis Obispo, so we probably could have survived that kind of weather (as long as the tornados and tsunamis didn't do us in).

i saw the day after tomarrow. It is a terrible movie with no plot. It has great special affects.

I saw it. In terms or a utter destruction everything goes to hell kinda movie i thought they did a really good job. Plus it has a good moral about global warming and pollution which i think everyone needs to listen to because our planet has been getting fucked up for years and this is the only thing since Captain Planet that i can think of that has brought up the issue. It was also really fun making jokes in the movie and pissing people off.  "Look at this view of Sweden" O MY GOD IT TURNED INTO A GIANT RED CIRCLE!!! *everyone stares in confusion cos they are stupid*. lol. In 50 years i se this movie on mystery science theatre cos there are so many things to make fun of randomly in it.

I just got back from the movie, it was bad, dont think it was horrible. It had some reallly good special effects (except for some of the wolves scenes).  Being a man of science, watching many of the "theoretical" extreme effects of extreme natural disasters gave me a few laughs.  I added a couple more chuckles at the "love story" they threw in there. With all the millions of people dying, there's always time to put in a love story where the characters go through the movie seemingly oblivious to anything around them as long as they can stare into each others eyes. 1 Unenthusiastic thumb down.

It was okay.  The special effects, like everyone else noted, were good.  The plot was mostly non-existent...and, I'm sorry, but when you have a moral tale to tell, you don't have to HIT ME OVER THE HEAD WITH IT!  Greenhouse effect = bad; Green Peace = gud.  I get it.  Everytime anyone said anything at all about pollution, it just came off preachy and silly.

I'm in Los Angeles.  People literally stood up and cheered at the part about American's illegally crossing the border into Mexico.  So some of the political humor worked.

I'm convinced to this day that Dennis Quaid will never be able to pick a good movie.  I'm actually leaning toward believing, instead, that he sucks as an actor.  Whenever that british guy had anything to say, no matter how silly, it sounded really thoughtful and clever.  Whenever Quaid opened his mouth I got ready to puke.

The wolves and that ship were the most transparent plot devices ever known to man.  Seriously.

And, finally, why is that people are so goddamn stupid in disaster movies?  If I were in that position, I would have put on a few layers (come on, these are NEW YORKERS they can layer right?), taken a goddamn duffel bag and gone to town at a grocery store, half under snow or not.  Then I would have hiked up to the coolest, richest, most bad ass house on the East Side and comfortably sat out the storm.  If I needed more food, hell, that is what canned goods are for.  Psh-shaw.

I hate to sound like a fool but if they did that then there would be no story-line what-so-ever, at least some people died unnessesarily.  Otherwise quite frankly it would have been boring.

However I did particularly like the massive wave that flood the city, almost scary.

Oh man, I would kill myself rather than having a tsunami coming at me...


Or drown. I dont like that concept at all. Better put a gun to your head than drown. I mean, just think of it! Your holding your breath, and you have like 30-60 seconds to think about your end of life, and when you can't hold your breath anymore you let go and water floods into you. *shiver*  :|
