The Day After Tomorrow - Two Disc Edition [DVD]

R2 originaali, ei suomitekstejä. Tekstit mm. englanniksi.  Täydellinen 2-levyn special edition, jossa upea hologrammi slipcase! 

Mega-budget, special-effects packed action adventure sci-fi epic directed by Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, Stargate), in which global warming and the greenhouse effect have given rise to abrupt climate change - with cataclysmic consequences for the entire planet. Dennis Quaid stars as Professor Adrian Hall, a paleoclimatologist who is fighting to save the world from a second ice age and all the natural disasters that herald it: floods, hurricanes, earthquakes and tornadoes to name but a few. But first, Hall must complete a more personal mission: his son Sam (Jake Gyllenhaal) is stranded in New York City where he was taking part in a school competition when the catastrophe began. As well as facing a perpetual onslaught of natural catastrophes, Hall must fight his way through the mass of humanity fleeing south into warmer climes... but can he reach his son in time to save him?

Turning pressing environmental issues into the theme of a big summer blockbuster, you can?t say that director Roland Emmerich isn?t willing to take his chances. And while The Day After Tomorrow does ask you to suspend fair chunks of disbelief, it is both a spectacle and a worthwhile blockbuster to expend your time in front of.

Starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Dennis Quaid, The Day After Tomorrow is the silly-but-fun story of a new ice age arriving pretty much overnight. In the midst of it all is a father-saving-son tale, that takes little time to be reduced to the background in favour of an all-out special effects assault.

And what an assault. Criticise the story all you like, but as spectacle, The Day After Tomorrow has few equals. From extreme weather effects to the site of familiar landmarks under mountains of ice, the budget was clearly high, and it?s all there on the screen.

This is, of course, where the joy of high definition kicks in. The Blu-ray-driven, 1080p picture is simply stunning, and The Day After Tomorrow benefits heavily from it. As a film, it still has its flaws, but it?s still good fun, and it?s one mighty workout for your home cinema rig too. --Jon Foster

Even if you own THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW original dvd with its limited Special Feartures, this revised 2 disc edition is worth having if you are interested in how a film like this is put together. The second disc is the most comprehensive & informative look behind the making of any film that I've seen. Roland Emmerich has gathered thousands of specialist professionals who create all the elements of this 'disaster movie' to make it the success it was & is. There are many catergories with sub-divisions, a mini documentary on Global Warming, and many other interesting articles. Dennis Quaid & Jake Gyllenhaal & other actors give personal insights along with writers, the cinematographer, C.G.I. & Digital experts & the Special Effects Supervisor. Over all these, Director Roland Emmerich presides & informs on the trials & tribulations that occurred pre, during & post-production, the last has a section devoted to the score & shows the huge symphony orchestra in the studio playing various cues with an inset of the scenes they accompany. THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW is a warning to us all, that global-warming is a threat & the earth's environment is fragile. The film is a work of fiction but the 'message' is clear.
