okay. so i saw TDAT last summer and completely hated it. because i thought it was unrealistic.
but then i saw WOTW this summer and realized that, after seeing pure shit, that TDAT was actually a pretty good movie  so then i watched TDAT again recently---and realized that "wow.. if you ignore some of the unrealistic parts (wolves, fireplace), it's actually a pretty good movie." war of the worlds was just. shit. is there any other word that can explain it? it just kinda... dragged and.... dragged and ended on a happy-lovey-dovey note. "yay we're all alive and back!" and can anybody explain the whole "i have to do this, dad" part. WTF? but TDAT did end on a semi-happy note too, but most of the people still died. only the SURVIVORS survived. and when it ended, it didn't recess back to how things were before. it changed things permanently. not like in WOTW where... basically one day they're here attacking. and then they all die. the end? wtf. so yeah. what do you think?

Ok So really you are asking me to make a choice between Jake Gyllenhall or Tom Cruise. *sigh* Jake's younger.
Dude. You are completely wrong about both movies. Day After Tomorrow - Completely realistic. They had some scientist on one of the talk shows and he said that it COULD TOTALLY HAPPEN. The idiots died cause they went out INTO THE STORM WHEN HE [JG's character, Sam i think?] SAID DONT! War of the Worlds- Yes Robbie was a complete teenager and was an utter idiot but still. It's realistic. Aliens couldn't handle our atmosphere. THey ate our food, drank our water, and DIED FROM IT. Obviously their planet was DIFFERENT from ours. Why do our spacemen wear those suits? Cause we can't handle the atmosphere on other planets so...the aliens are the same. Geesus. I so wanna be a lawyer. |

Course it's opiniated. I just felt like saying that you're wrong and your mind isn't open enough to think things through. I edited it the post above as well.

i havent read all the posts yet ^ but i will later on. but i honestly have to say i prefer the day after tomorrow. the war of the worlds would have been WAY better if there was some more of an explanation and i better way for the aliens to go away... cause honestly with our generation today, that was a bit STRETCHED For our minds haha

God, now I feel like this should go in the debate forum.
Aren't there tons of wolves up north? They're furry, can handle cold tempurates. the paper burning thing? Sure if they kept the firing going. We always start our fired with paper. QUOTE in reality, they say, if it happens, it would take at least hundreds to thousands of years. The whole thing started cause of global warming. What is it that all the politicians are bitching about everytime you turn on the news? Other than Karl Rove or something else... Global warming. *gasp* How ironic.. |

The Day After Tomorrow sucked.
First of all, completely unrealistic script. Total world destruction in a few weeks due to global warming? Yeah, right. Global warming is bad, but not that bad. Secondly, the script sucked. The acting sucked. 'Nough said. The only good thing about the movie was Emmy Rossum. I haven't seen War of the Worlds but it's got to be better than The Day After Tomorrow. The only disaster movie that was worse that The Day After Tomorrow were the Airport movies, and they were made in the 70's when everything was cheesey, so it's excusable. |

War of the Worlds scared the shit outta me. The ending was dry. My dad said they should have just ended it with Tom Cruise and Dakota standing, in the middle of the redness and they just zoom the camera out to the little ants..they screwed up with the ending. There is NO WAY the mom of the kids, like their area was untouched. It's just COME ON! they were all over the world but not in Boston, uh ok. NOT. I hated the ending. Robbie should have been vaporized.
oh i was just going to FF to the parts we talked about. The wolves thing, now that I think about it doesn't make much sense. How cold does new york get and how cold is the storm? extremely cold..that's all i remember..but they do have fur.. |

Both of you two are extremely stupid. There I said it.
WotW was a much better movie than The Day After Tomorrow, case and point. I don't remember much of TDAT but I do remember a part where they are running away from the COLD. They were literally running away from the COLD. They were running in a hallway and everything behind them was freezing up and they were looking back at it saying "OH MY GOD THE COLD". And to make things worse, they STOPPED the cold from reaching them by going into a room and slamming the door shut. I don't think I have to explain anymore why TDAT was a stupid ass movie. |

*sigh* Yes another reason I get to bitch.
Ok. They were running away from THE EYE OF THE STORM. There were like these giant Ice storms that were like hurricane's on land. The EYE was the COLDEST PART and THAT WAS WHY they were running. They didn't stop it by the door. YES they shut the door but it still came in and covered the walls. My god. You can join the party of stupid people. :D |

It being the "eye of the storm" has nothing to do with what I was talking about.
The concept of running away from COLD is outlandish. Are you saying that someone running away from a cold wind is realistic? You can outrun a cold wind? Wow yea thats realistic. And are you saying that closing a door can stop the cold from reaching you? I KNOW the cold froze the door and everything around it. So does that make it just stop and not reach you? Is the fire going to protect you? God read my post. |

I NEVER said that a door could stop the cold. In fact I said it still came in and froze the walls. They BURN CHAIRS! [wood]. In fact i said THIS IF YOU READ QUOTE YES they shut the door but it still came in and covered the walls. My god. Even ANUBIS said I WAS RIGHT. *sigh* You can outrun that eye. The storm was moving slowly. and they weren't far from the library. Gees. WATCH THE MOVIE and then you can come back and bitch at me ----- Alright. Now i see where you got the -150. The Fuel in the planes will freeze @ that tempurate. But did you also take into account that these are sinulated walls? small room but with a fire as well. I still understand your point, Anubis. |

I saw niether, but I was talking about it one day and we came up with a few flaws in War of the Worlds which I've now concluded to be a very very bad movie...
1) They said the aliens were planning this attack for a million years, but a million years ago, there were no humans. They wouldn't need to these superior intelligence mechanisms to fight off dinosaurs and mammoths... 2) The 'robot vehicles' have 3 legs. If they were so smart, why would they have done that? Why would they have 3 legs and not 4 like every other stable organism on earth? Or 2, even? Why 3, so someone can chop off one and leave you defenseless? 3) They said the vehicles were hidden underground for a million years. Now, do you think after so long, someone would discover them? Subways, drills, finding oil? Don't you think, once in the centuries humans existed, someone would find these machines hidden underground? 4) Why is Dakota Fanning in the movie? She serves absolutely no purpose and would rather stare and scream than run for her life. That's just to name a few. So I voted Day After Tomorrow.

Why not? 3's definately cooler than 4 3- The aliens RODE THE LIGHTNING down and their vehicles were in the ground. Remember when Tom was with that news lady at the plane crash? She showed him footage of that. 4- Purpose? Well, i'm sure you don't deserve a purpose then as being someone's daughter. Well hot damn i'm sure i dont either then. It's the robbie feller you gotta wonder about... oh and anubis, I wouldn't remember a single thing if i didn't take notes |

Also, a million years was not confirmed. 2. Easy, 3 is less then 4 therefore you save more metal for other robots. Not to mention that their technology would make their robots far superior to ours. Heck, they probably have a strong enough metal to make titanium look like jello. 3. If the government can cover up assassinations, random bombing, espionage, secret groups, and etc...why not this? 4. This is a movie, not a documentary. The movie was just to tell a story not explain what happens if aliens really came. |

i think TDAT wouldnt really happen, its too dramatic. but iwas way better than WOTW, its stupid. so the lightning brought the aliens over? thats ridiculous. and the ending is horrible. and yes, explain "i have to do, dad" why do u have to?

What makes you think that TDAT won't happen? The whole movie was caused by global warming..and that's like the only thing politicians are bitching about. So. Hm. It may
 Plus. The Aliens caused a lightning storm and they rode the lightning down and into the ground. That's why there was no thunder. OH! TDAT has the 'I have to do this' LINE TOO! When Dennis Quaid's character decides to trek across the country to get sam. It's in there! I watched the movie and when I heard that i just cracked up. |

Not really. Father son relationship. He had to do it. Especially with his ex-wife there.
and the movie was based on a 6-8 DAYS thing. not 2 days. the earth in unpredictable. It could. But i'm no scientist.. |

It cant happen in 6-8 days then. The whole thing can happen, but it would stretch out to millions of years.

Uh noooo....
Damn. No use google-ing this. Alright. I had to go get my notes that i took. Ok. These were taken from the movie so. Yea. Global warming caused the climate shift that occured 10,000 years ago caused the ice age. That lasted 2 centured. With the polar ice camps melting into the NAC [ North atlantic current] getting mixed with fresh waterfrom the polar caps you hit desalinization, which means the Atmosphere gets messed up. The giant ice storms that occured, the air was being pulled down from the upper troposhere [sp?] and mixing with the warm causing extreme cold. |

Believe me. It won't.
Honestly if you try to tell the story of WOTW, all you can say is "there's these aliens underground for millions of years and they attacked humans. then they died." and i think these movies werent made to be go along with science, just to show off the computer skills nowadays. |

For some reason three guys can get across freezing terrain on foot but the president in an amored heated car dies! What the f**k was with that story. War of The Worlds was as it was because that's how the book went, I thought myself that the special effects were the best I had ever seen. |

I haven't seen War of the Worlds, so I can't be a valid judge but anyways. I've seen DAT and I didn't think it was shit, I thought it was pretty good and I thought Jake was hot. >_> WOTW [from what you said] sounds really bad and judging by the commercials, I think you're right. I hate it when that girl goes "IS IT THEM IS IT THEM." She delivered that line terribly and it didn't sound like a question. I mean, the script writers could of put "IT'S THEM IT'S THEM." Eh, it just pissed me off.

Poll needs an option for "neither were good".
Not because "the day after tomorrow" couldn't happen---It is theoretically possible, but because the idea of a man walking like 40 miles in a blizzard like that to reach his son who happens to be burried under that much snow while many other people just froze to death does not seem possible... Oh and because the scene with Emmy Rossum (oh i love her as an actress though) where she "warms" Sam's body with her own because he could get hypothermia makes me CRACK UP. I get it though; I get it.But I agree---Graphics were good in that movie. I'll give you my two cents on WotW later. |

Like the idea that the film centers around. We have to remember that they had to fit all of that within like a 2 to 3 hour time span and even if it flows kind of logically (from day to night to day)--it still could not happen that way. I agree with you, but i meant the concept (hence "quotations") |

The Day After Tomarrow all the way. Although I saw it like 2 months ago, I still thought it was pretty good. I just liked how the explained everything so realisticly. It really did sound like that could happen. (though, I hope it doesn't)
Plus, I'm in Emmy Rossum fan ;) (but that isn't the reason why I like the movie better) |

i thought The Day After Tomorrow was one of the worst movies I'd ever seen, full of unrealistid hippie bullcrap. Plus it was so politically biased it might as well have been a campaign commercial for John Kerry
"I'm John Kerry and I support this movie" The vice president in the movie was a complete a-hole and they made him look just like d**k Cheney, I am seriously so glad I had a girlfriend to be with during this movie so I didn't have to watch the whole thing, it's in my top 5 worst of all time |

You are completely wrong about both movies. Day After Tomorrow - Completely realistic. They had some scientist on one of the talk shows and he said that it COULD TOTALLY HAPPEN. The idiots died cause they went out INTO THE STORM WHEN HE [JG's character, Sam i think?] SAID DONT! War of the Worlds- Yes Robbie was a complete teenager and was an utter idiot but still. It's realistic. Aliens couldn't handle our atmosphere. THey ate our food, drank our water, and DIED FROM IT. Obviously their planet was DIFFERENT from ours. Why do our spacemen wear those suits? Cause we can't handle the atmosphere on other planets so...the aliens are the same. Geesus. I so wanna be a lawyer. Yeah, but the ending was still stupid... if they were so smart, and if they were watching us, they would've noticed. |

QUOTE(sprinkle-the-stars @ Jul 28 2005, 1:42 PM) Omfg. You are an IDIOT. The aliens WOULDNT KNOW that they couldn't handle are atmosphere from lightyears away. My god. USE YOUR HEAD. It isn't that hard..is it? So basically you're defending the ending to WotW .... If aliens are capable of travelling "lightyears away" to ATTACK Earth wouldn't it be, the least bit, feasible that they could at least EXPLORE our earth beforehand .... before planning such a large scale attack? I'm sorry ..... but use YOUR head |
