Captain Obvious gives us his review of:
The Day After Tomorrow...The Trailer!

Greetings, citizens! From the director/writer of Independence Day and Godzilla, Roland Emmerich, here comes yet another huge special effects movie about the possible end of mankind as we know it. This time, the human race doesn’t stand a chance against one highly perturbed weather system: cities are swiftly destroyed, people get swallowed up by tsunamis, and life as we know it is pretty much in the crapper. This guy is getting the lock on the big budget wiping-out-all-of-humanity genre. What does Roland have against us Homo sapiens, anyway? First aliens strike, then radiated lizards, and now giant storms. What’s next, buddy; a nice plague flick? How about angry swarms of insects decimating the world’s population?

The trailer is impressive: nearly every single shot featured looks like it costs enough to rebuild Lee Majors. There are tornadoes tearing up downtown high-rises, humongous waves washing down the streets of major cities, and New York City winds up looking like the set of Ice Age II. The teaser is nearly devoid of actors, concentrating on the eye candy (and at eight bucks a movie ticket, is still cheaper than the Jujubes at the concession stand).

Captain Obvious highly recommends this trailer: I give it three and a half film canisters, out of four. Farewell, citizens!
