The Day After Tomorrow has some excellent special effects, but everything else is crap. The plot is particularly egregious. In one scene, escaped wolves from the Central Park zoo attack some students trying to get medical supplies off of a drifting Russian freighter. I mean, could they possibly have come up with anything more ridiculous?
The acting is pure cliche, and the direction is awful. Of course this is the same director who gave us stinkers like Independence Day (2) and the truly terrible 1998 Godzilla (1). He also did The Patriot, which I was generous enough to give a 4. For this mess, I'd like to give it a 2.5, but I'm confining myself to whole numbers. It is certainly stupid enough to merit a 2, but the effects are definitely cool, so 3 it is.
