no superman emits a biomorphic/electric field that allows him to exceed some physical limits such as gravity and allows him to lift larger objects without shearing them in half by extending the field around them BITCH DO NOT QUESTION MY SUPERMAN KNOWLEDGE this is how he caught lois lane instead of cutting her in two.

but this isn't nerd thinking dude, there's a scene where people run away from a cold wave you previously saw freeze moving vehicles out of the air and kill off half of britain (and all of this is ignoring HOW DO YOU RUN AWAY FROM TEMPERATURE) and then they survive by closing a door and lighting a fire. and it's all based on the premise that earth decides to rebel against humanity. film is by creator of independence day and godzilla. roland emmerich's overall rating on rotten tomatoes is a fucking 20% and his highest rated film is the patriot at 62%. the film's anti pollution message is completely wasted by having all the disasters occur within 24 hours and in a horrible twist was cited by many republicans as evidence of global warming hysteria.

how do you watch movies that have no purpose other than to insult your intelligence? I spend a ridiculous amount of time on forums but at least I might accidentally learn something. watching shit like the Day After Tomorrow (do you all realize how fucking ridiculous this is btw) or this shitty remake wastes everyone's time. and this bullshit "oh I'm entertained by pap", whatever man. you can watch Gone Baby Gone, Blazing Saddles, Kung Fu Hustle, any of thousands of actually entertaining movies, instead of throwing money away at shiny special effects. this bullshit "oh every movie doesn't have to be intellectual we need to rest our brains" came from the anti-intellectual movement angry that they couldn't justify why they watched anything so it's automatically every movie is either too smart or a brain rest movie.

no one's asking you to watch Synecdoche instead, even I need to take a break from being awesome all the time, but that doesn't excuse watching shit like this or Twilight. fuck even Role Models is better than this shit and that's a movie starring Sean William Scott and a sassy black kid.

the day after tomorrow was a masturbatory shitfest i don't understand how you can watch something that is blatantly, inherently stupid and just think 'oh well you're overanalyzing'

protip: superman is an invincible superhero. the day after tomorrow was a movie that had ice storms that could freeze a helicopter whole in midair and it took itself seriously.

if the ice storms were superman i don't think steel would be arguing here

edit: god dammit steel posted before me again

ID4... the movie where every line of dialogue is a fucking soundbyte.

i love nerdy shit about natural disasters but even I hated the day after tomorrow. it was just so silly.

like when the main dude swims through the unfrozen water (? everything outside froze almost instantly you'd expect water that was only 20 feet from the outdoors to be frozen too, or at least so cold it would have killed him if he were in it that long) talks on the phone for like 10 minutes. he even becomes submerged. that and the fact that apparently a wooden door and one fire can keep away insanely cold temperatures that froze metal and jet fuel instantly.

it was entertaining?
It was really boring dude. Terrible ridiculous exposition >SFX shot > bad acting > SFX shot > SFX shot > SFX shot > brain kills self.

nope dont mind plot, dont mind effective exposition, dont mind characters...just give me some explosions and im satisfied!!xD

sometimes u just need to TURN OFF UR BRAIN...

I'm tempted to continue making fun of you, but really dude?

horseshit like this is a staggering waste of cinematic talent and resources, i don't understand why you would want to SUPPORT this kind of shitty movie instead of going to see something that's not all about explosions.

seriously i have nothing against BIG EXPLOSIONS AND SFX SCENES (die hard is my favorite action movie, no country for old men had some spectacular cinematography and sfx scenes, raiders of the lost ark had one of the most memorable special effect scenes in all of cinematic history, hell, star wars is great and it has some memorable scenes which rely almost ENTIRELY on special effects to wow the hell out of you) but if there is NO REDEEMING QUALITIES TO THE FILM other than oops look its sf​ thats pretty badass xD why would you want to spend money to see it? why would you particularly want to see it at all?

do you not see the difference between an action-adventure movie spectacle that's actually good like raiders of the lost ark and the stuff emmerich pumps out? movies like this have no good acting, they certainly don't have memorable characters, they DEFINITELY don't have well-written plots, and most of all they lack any kind of charm

jesus, and then there's all the movies which are about SO MUCH MORE than entertainment. you're the type of guy who walks out of No Country For Old Men thinking that it could have used a couple of big explosions or that you really wanted to see Moss battle the Mexicans in a big gunfight.

TDAT, ID4, Godzilla, WOTW05 etc etc have no redeeming qualities though.
There's a difference between liking something and knowing whether it's bad or not. A movie can be bad. It's not just opinions.
Like I read Star Wars Novels. I know they are amoung the worst books ever written(do you really want an essay about how shit they are?) but I still read them. Like I visibly cringe wgilst reading some shit about shoto lightsabers and light whips and Sith living spaceships and all that pure unfiltered shit.

haha I actually like like ID4. It brings back memories of my childhood. Also I fucking love Goldblum in it. But yeah it is well cheesy, but a guilty pleasure none the less

I'm not enraged because I haven't seen the original movie, but my general rule with remakes is that I try to watch the original first.  I'm really in no rush to see this but I'm probably going to rent the original sometime soon.

Also SHIT BLOWS UP movies are great but that doesn't mean they have to insult your intelligence like The Day After Tomorrow did!  That's not entertainment man that's just a sign that somebody doesn't give a fuck.

The original at least had a message... I bet this will be just mindless entertainment. I'll watch it.

I'm going to watch this if there isn't anything better coming out and hope that it isn't too terrible.
