i didn't realize we had so many prophets here. You guys should go work for a Hollywood studio, you obviously know what films are going to be great and which are going to suck well ahead of time.

this movie had no interest to me whatsoever. actually saw this coming, even when i asked the same friends who i watched and enjoyed id4 with if they were planning to watch this, and they all answered with a resounding 'no!'

The fact that the reviewer claims to have loved Independence Day is really scary.

What is wrong with Dennis Quaid?

Maybe it has been done to death, but I still find it entertaining.

And Corp - I don't think anyone had hope, why would it be necessary. It isn't like anyone expects it to win any awards, they just want to be entertained.

Their reaction to the film was most likely very unfavorable.

Yea, but like thats going to change anything. They're still going to give the movies a crap review, so why deny them the margarita andshrimp.

I agree. It was a tragedy no dobut, but what do tidal waves and blizzards in NYC have to do with the terrorist attacks? NOTHING.

I was interested reading that until I got to the
There's also a peculiar insensitivity, I think, to those of us who lived through September 11.

In "Day After," downtown New York, in an aerial view, is flooded with water and then snow. The whole thing resembles the billowing smoke that poured between the canyons of buildings on that horrible day from real life. Later, survivors are seen waving from rooftops of buildings, a grisly reminder of the tragic souls who made that mistake at the World Trade Center hoping for safety.

New Yorkers do not need to see our city in this condition, whether or not it's fantasy. I'd rather fly on the wings of soaring birds with Harry Potter than relive those grim images as entertainment.
, then I just stopped. Making that 9/11 reference was totally unecessary and irrelevant.
