The Day After Tomorrow - 3 1/2 stars out of 5 stars

Released in 2004 and running 124 minutes,this film has what you need for a good disaster flick.First the disaster than who lives and dies and the story.There is the one problem and its a big thus 1 1/2 stars off.The story lacks a real science base and most of the characters are 2 dimensional that you couldn't care less bout.The real star of the film is the disaster itself.Truly a FX extravaganza.That is not what I really want,but,being from NYC,I did enjoy watching nature mess with it.Truly spectacular.I just wish the science was more believable and the characters better drawn so it would have been a haunting scare film which it isn't.Its just a fluffy thrill for a saturday night.Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary below.

As Paleoclimatologist named Jack Hall is in Antartica, he discovers that a huge ice sheet has sheared off. But what he does not know is that this event will trigger a massive climate shift that will affect the world population. Meanwhile, his son Sam is with friends in New York to attend an event. There they discover that it has been raining non-stop for the past 3 weeks, and after a series of weather-related disasters begin to occur over the world, everybody realizes the world is entering a new Ice Age and the world population begins trying to evacuate to the warmer climates of the south. Jack makes a daring attempt to rescue his son and his friends who are stuck in New York and who have managed to survive not only a massive wave but also freezing cold temperatures that could possibly kill them.
