Should I buy The Day After Tommorow?

[Stocat]

Dvd came out today, and I never saw it. Is it worth buying the dvd? Or is it a renter?

1. Rent it first

I liked it, but it's not exactly "accurate". Rent it first.

2. I really like it

But like most disaster flix, I say its a renter. Hard to watch it over and over.

3. Wait 2 days and they'll be giving it away free. n/t

Buy "The Day After" instead! Nuclear holocaust seems more relevant today!

4. Action/Adventure?

If that's what you want to see, I'd say it's great. Don't rely on the science or meteorology though...my son and his other meteorologist collegues say its crap.

5. Rent it... it was enjoyable, but I would probably only watch it again

if it's on HBO... which it will be.

8. depends on your past experiences

If you have or even think you might have post-traumatic stress disorder due to past experience in a natural disaster, you might want to pass it by. I've had such an experience and it was extremely disturbing. Fortunately most of the film was snow/ice related and as my trauma is not related to that -- it is flood and wind related -- I was able to stick with the film and see it was just a bit of fun fluff. But if you have "issues" with tornados or wind disaster, the beginning of the film is extremely upsetting. It is a little bit campy and meant to be a fun film but it can trigger you if you've had an issue in your past. I would suggest renting and if you still want to buy, then buy.

9. It will undoubtedly wind up in my library

I have a deep fondness for bad SF. It takes all the silly science weather you ever heard of and combines it into one shiny package.

The meteorological silly science is better, but only slightly better, than the geological silly science of 'The Core'.

10. The tornado scene

really kicked some butt. I thought the tidal wave over NYC would be the kool part but it wasn't. We did pick it up today for 15.99.
