The Day After Tomorrow is an okay movie, if you don't think too much throughout the movie. Actually, I had to scan through some parts of it because I thought it was boring. I didn't have the patience to watch through some of the more predictable scenes.
This film is quite preachy for a Hollywood film, and I'm sure that was deliberate. I am certain the comments made by the unlikeable US Vice President, in the film, about the Kyoto Accord being too expensive and causing too much disruption in the economy was written as a critique of the Bush administration. While I agree that the importance of the Kyoto Accord should not be reduced to a matter of mere finance, the film was a bit too much on the high moral ground - at least to my taste. I do not like being preached to, especiallly when I am watching a movie.
At the end of the movie, I did wonder how the astronauts would get down from space, though. If the northern half of the world was all covered in ice and snow, would the US rockets still work?

It was an okay movie. I actually didn't mind the "preachy-ness" of the movie but I can see how annoying it is. I didn't like the "high moral" ground it was taking either, but it is realistic protrayal of the priorities of many governments. The main reason the Kyoto Accord is not being adopted is financial reasons, or corporate pressure.
