I went to see "The Day After Tomorrow". It's your stock disaster movie - nothing special, nothing too awful. The characters are all cardboard cutouts:

• "Politician who doesn't get it"
• Hard charging scientist who can't get through to people" (just like 10.5!)
• The child who gets trapped in a bad place (just like 10.5!)

And so on. There were a few silly things:

• It's really, really cold - and the guys in arctic gear have their lower faces exposed? Goodbye nose!
• The super cold air is swooping down, bursting windows - and yet all the main characters outrun it! (think "explosive decompression scenes" in space films
• At the very end, we have a shot of the earth with the ice sheet covering northern North America. But wait! Europe is free of ice - apparently, they ran out of budget for white pixels.

It's ok, if you don't expect a lot.
