This movie was awesome. We will start with the visual effects, because there were alot. They were great. Its seemed like you were watching something that was happening as you watched it. It didnt look fake at all. The acting- great. Jake Gyllenhaal, of Donnie Darko fame, was great, as expected. He played Sam. Dennis Quaid played his father, Jack. The supporting actors were Emmy Rossum, the leading lady and Sam’s crush, and Dash Mihok, Sam’s best friend. They were also good. There was no bad acting in the film. But i will comment on the vice pres, played by Kenneth Welsh. He made me hate Cheney. Alot. He wasnt Cheney- but i mean, you could tell. The film took a shot at how Americans are, and how the view some parts of the world. It was pretty accurate. Anyway, if you dont know the story, Global Warming has caused the Ice Caps to melt, cause severe problems in the climate, and creating a new Ice Age that will freeze most of the Northern Hemisphere. Sam and his friends are in NYC, which will get rocked. They live in DC, but are at some school event. Jack is the scientist who figures out, with the help of others, that this new ice age is coming sooner than expected. You really get into the movie. Its like i said, your watching something that is happening. Its a movie you can really get into. and Sam and his dad have the Hero complex that make people like me think that i can do cool shit when put in the right situation. Only Complaint- there is one part where Sam and friends have to leave the library, where they are staying to keep warm. At that point, the eye of the storm is coming, where temperatures drop to so cold you will freeze on the spot, and some wolves escaped from the local zoo. all three of these come together. It was created for suspence, but it could have been done differently. But seriously- AMAZING MOVIE. Go See it.

*some of you may complain that i rate all movies like a 8 or better. my reasoning- i dont see bad movies. ’nuff said*
