The day after tomorrow

This action/adventure movie was made in 2004 based on the idea of the consequences of global warming by Roland Emerich, who also made the independence day, and the 'Godzilla'. The setting takes place somewhere in somewhere in Washington D.C. and New York. Climatologist, Jack Hall finds out that climate changes are about to cause a new ice age. He finds out that his son's in New York on a school trip and heads down to save his son, Sam, where the city is devastated by hurricanes and snowstorms. Eventually, he rescues his son and heads down south towards Mexico with the entire American population to avoid the extreme weather conditions.

The movie really does a great job of illustrating a possible environmental crisis of the future. scientific stories, great actors, and stunning computer animations to illustrate tornados, snow storms, hurricanes, and all sorts of weather conditions. It was a entertaining movie and the contents were very realistic. But we wouldn't really want that to happen in the real world.

The main theme of this movie, according to my interpretation, is the consequences of immense pollutions. One of the consequences of pollutions is Global Warming. The world constantly burns immense amount of fossil fuels and oils to generate electricity in the country. Although cheap and abundant, the downside is the emission of greenhouse gases.

This is a serious issue because it causes all sorts of damages such as increase in sea level. Small islands will become flooded so people living near the beach will have to move in towards the land. Temperature increase is another problem. If too much sunlight enters the atmosphere, there could be health issues such as cancer or burns. Number of forest could also multiply due to increased heat.

Although pollution may seem to be a scientifici stuff where we learn it in schools, books, or documentaries, pollution is also found in movies, our recreational activities.
