4. Extreme Climate Change - The Day After Tomorrow

Now this would be a delight. There are countless ways of ridding the earth of life in this chirpy little feature. It€™s got the lot: Mega-tsunamis, multi-tornadoes, icy death-air, a bit of snow, a drop of rain, a new Ice Age, wolves. That€™s right: wolves. Slap bang in the centre of this hilariously watchable nonsense about extreme weather is a scene where our hapless heroes get chased by wolves on a big oil tanker thing. As if our protagonists don€™t have enough to worry about what with having back stage passes to the Armageddon show. Where€™s Kevin Costner when you need him? He€™s good with wolves, right? Despite being one of the most scientifically inaccurate movies ever made, The Day After Tomorrow is, nevertheless, mindlessly hopeful in its assertions. It essentially implores you to stop clogging the atmos up with your general existence lest Mother Nature turns on you, puts you over her knee and gives you a right smack on the backside. As an end of the world movie, it€™s basically giving you the choice of how you want to expire. Instantly freezing to death seems the most gratifying while getting smashed right in the face off a marauding bus that was thrown at you by an evil tornado is definitely the most rock€™n€™roll. Whichever way you look at it there€™s an apocalyptic death to cater for everyone here.
