The Day After Tomorrow

Roland Emmerich’s doomsday film did more to slow down the cause of science than any climate change deniers could have dreamed. Couched as a warning tale, The Day After Tomorrow oversteps its mark so far that it actually makes anyone who discusses global warming sound a bit crazy. The film follows the tribulations of a group of people facing a number of “extreme weather events” that are thought to be issuing in a new Ice Age. Unfortunately, not even Dennis Quaid and Jack Gyllenhaal could save this – ahem – overheated disaster.
