What if New York got wrecked by a TSUNAMI?

Hey guys, what's going on? Today, your favourite guys, here at The Popcorner, bring you another kind/attempt of a film review!

Before you start wondering what's the movie that we are going to be speaking of, we would like to tell you what our theme was: WAVES!

Yeah, there are a lot of things we could do about waves, such as talking about the waves of globalization, the waves of industrialization, or even the waves of zombies (which would be a terrible excuse to talk about World War Z), but we decided to go to its literal meaning (We know, right? Awful idea! Smells like a bad mark coming...), so we decided to write you about a movie that is actually related to waves.

No, it isn't Happy Feet or Surf's Up (even though the baby penguins are cute as hell!), because the main characters are horrible and both of us hate both of the movies... And it isn't either about The Life of Pi, 'cause, even though it is a good movie, we couldn't write a whole post about a guy in a boat (sorry for the discrimination against you, zebra, koala and Mr. Tiger! And we are also sorry for making you, the reader, watch it all again to find a koala!)... So...

We decided to write about The Day After Tomorrow, a movie in which NYC gets wrecked by a huge TSUNAMI* (yeah, we know that a Tsunami is already huge, otherwise it would only be a big wave, but we decided to give it some emphasis!)!

In the beginning of the movie Jack Hall, the father of the main character, Sam Hall, is at an expedition in Antarctica with his two partners. Together they find evidences that global warming is changing the climate as we are used to see it! This theory is disapproved by the vice-president of the US, who considers him crazy, although another scientist believes in Jack, and starts to study the exact same subject, and finally concluding that he was right (yeah, after all, Jack isn’t nuts!). When he decides to contact Jack, they discuss their studies and just discover that a new Ice age may be upon them.

At the same time, violent storms all around the world are causing a massive destruction, with tornados and super-hurricanes (yes, it looks like Speedy Gonzalez has been running in circles all over Earth!), with temperatures so close that freezes anything it comes in contact with (although that wouldn’t be a problem for us, ‘cause we are hot as hell!). In Manhattan, where Sam (not Frodo’s friend) is, the rain hasn’t stopped for three days, causing floods.

As the storm gets worse a massive giant super huge WAVE (yes, don’t forget this post is about waves…) hits the island of Manhattan, forcing Sam and his friends (yes, it is possible for a son of a scientist to have friends) to take refuge in the New York Public Library, where they just stay ‘till the end of the movie (with a dog!).

As the movie goes by, we start to notice that Sam has a little big crush on his friend, Laura (he just keeps staring at her like a freak!), who is sheltered with him in the library, and in the end we kind of see that she’s also into him (only in movies…).

In the middle of the movie, when NYC is the eye of the storm, Sam and a few group of people are the only ones who stood at the library, saved from the low temperatures. When the eye is upon New York, Sam’s dad gets there, and has to hide, to avoid being frozen. Jack is going to get his son, once when Sam got to the library (in the beginning of the movie) he calls his parents and, as a heroic father, Jack promises Sam that he would get him (so, our guy, Jack not only isn’t crazy, as he is also an hero! Keep surprising us, Jack!).

SPOILER ALERT (STOP READING THIS IF YOU HAVEN’T HAD THE CHANCE TO WATCH THE MOVIE!!!!): After this, a rescue-team goes to rescue them and realizes that there were more survivors, just standing in the roofs of the sky-scrapers, waiting to be saved too. From this experience, the human kind found out that they need to stop polluting the environment and start cooperating with one another to guarantee the world’s sustainability.

So, now we can tell you our opinion: we loved this movie (otherwise we wouldn't choose it) and we hope we never get the chance to experiment this in real life (thanks a lot for creating computer games, God!). In a scale from 0 to 10, we would certainly give this a 8,376543210!

We hope you've enjoyed this post and that you keep following us, and please feel free to tells us what you would do if such an harmful catastrophe destroyed your town (we are sorry if you ever experiencied this!)

*we are not talking about the track of DVBBS and Borgeous, you EDM lovers! (For those who didn't understand this: "EDM" = Electronic Dance Music; and "DVBBS & Borgeous - Tsunami" = http://youtu.be/I41CX0RdmPQ )
