About The Day After Tomorrow / Volcano

Day After Tomorrow - This movie takes a big-budget special-effects-filled look at what the world would look like if the greenhouse effect and global warming continued at such levels that they resulted in worldwide catastrophe and disaster including multiple hurricanes tornadoes tidal waves floods and the beginning of the next Ice Age. At the center of the story is a paleoclimatologist (a scientist who studies the ways weather patterns changed in the past) Professor Jack Hall (Quaid) who tries to save the world from the effects of global warming while also trying to get to his son Sam (Gyllenhaal) who was in New York City as part of a scholastic competition when the city was overwhelmed by the chilling beginnings of the new Ice Age. In addition to all of the other challenges Dr. Hall faces he's also going against the flow as humanity races south to warmer climes and he's nearly the only one going north...Volcano - After a seemingly minor earthquake one night in Los Angeles a giant burst of lava is released from the La Brea Tar Pits resulting in the birth of a new volcano under the city. City officials are reluctant to believe scientists who notice the early warning signs (the temperature of a lake rises 6 degrees in 12 hours) but they learn their lesson when lava begins to spill out into the streets and to destroy buildings and cars. Dedicated Emergency Management director Mike Roark rushes to the rescue with help from a plucky seismologist.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: PG - 13 UPC: 024543423546 Manufacturer No: 2242354 Product Description

A good combination of climate disaster movies - one by ice and one by fire. Both movies include the ignored lone voice of reason until the disasters hit. "The Day After Tomorrow" also shows the determination of a father to rescue his son from death by disaster. My favorite line from Dennis Quaid when talking to his son before the harshest weather occurs is "I will come for you!" "Volcano" has that spark of intensity when you're not certain whether or not the lava will win or lose. October 9, 2007
