Last night we watched The Day After Tomorrow. It was what you'd expect, a big loud action movie. Even still it really wasn't all that bad. The underlying story is decent and the acting isn't that bad either (although not great). Dennis Quaid (who I actually like) wasn't bad as a climatologist that is predicting a coming ice age. When it turns out he is right he sets out to get to his son, Jake Gyllenhaal (who was just awesome in one of my all time favorite movies October Sky) who is trapped in New York by the impending doom.

That's the basic story and while it's not bad it's very predictable. The movie is by Ronald Emmerich, the same director from another big, loud movie Independence Day. Basically if you like Independence Day you'll like The Day After Tomorrow. Hard to recommend, but if you want to see it it's basically what you'd expect.
