The Day After Tomorrow
Like I thought, this movie was not made to make an audience think OR act. It was fun to watch some of the weather abnormalities (although most were in the trailer). It was basically eye candy here and there, with a little bit too much character/story development.
At the very end, the President gives a speech that basically spoon-feeds the audience with the whole "we're burning up our resources" idea, but really, all anyone cares about is seeing shots of the earth covered with snow or water.
The parts having to do with Americans illegally crossing Mexico's border were a bit much as well.
Overall, entertaining for the weather, but absolutely nothing special otherwise. I got what I expected.

It was annoying to see scenes where the kinds of jackets and (lack of) gloves would never rise to the standard of cold that the movie tries to set.
There were other parts that were a little too CG such as the one "chase" scene in the film.
The best part was when the cop who had convinced people to head out of the library was looking at corpses of the people who had trusted him. My friend Thom yelled out in the theatre:
"They's dead, DUMBASS!"
