Personally, I would have raided the ship for supplies long before the girl got sick. A ship that size requires a crew of at least 50 people. That means food to feed 50 people for weeks at sea. It also means beds and bedding for 50 people. I'd also find fire axes and use them to break up the wooden furniture and bannisters to use as firewood (wood burns longer and hotter than paper, and would keep them warmer than burning books). But hey, that's just me.
Yeah..this man will spend 15 mins talking about what actor played in what role..so many times I roll my eyes and I am sure others are thinking what I am during those moments which is, Andrew I don't give a damn.
I mean no disrespect, because I think he's a good guy from what I can tell, but I agree... Andrew is painfully annoying and has even stopped me from clicking some videos when he's in the thumbnail.
@@shootingreal5945 AGREEEED, his excessive need for confirmation that he knows things is ridiculous.couldn't imagine watching a full length reaction with him in it...and i never will. Aaron is absolutely great though, when he's allowed to pay attention to the movie he picks up on most things and is hilarious. And they are now roommates apparently....yikes
It’s not a turn off your brain movie. It’s a turn up the volume movie because y’all were obviously not listening! The freezing only happens in the eye of the storm. 😂
I love to watch Aaron, but he clearly slept on that one. Did he really think that it stayed -100°F and Jack and Jason could survive that with their gear? Nope. It was obviously about sitting that event out inside and then somehow surviving the rather "regular" freezing weather outside.
@@michaelklaus yeah well with Andrew in his ear every single second saying "I know i don't need to say it.." but then says it anyways....we get it, you know stuff, but he has to always get confirmation that he knows something. I could never watch a full length reaction with him in it, I love Aaron though dudes hilarious and usually does catch on to things whe he's allowed
@@King_Of_The_AsylumI literally came here to type this... I genuinely dont think I can watch Andrew's reactions anymore. I feel so sorry for Aaron having to react with him all the time, he literally cant think straight whilst trying to watch the movie. Andrew asked him if he'd seen Independence Day and Aaron flat out said "no" even though hes reacted to it on the channel with Tara... either that, or he just wanted Andrew to shut up so he could watch the movie. And then when he was slating the movie saying "I dont need to be hit over the hit with the information so many times" 😂 I was like "really? So you actually get how people would find that annoying?!?! 🤔🤔" and then he proceeded to beat Aaron over the head with his observation of the new president being bad at making decisions like "look at me, I made a good point" 😂😂
I honestly never picked up on how many times the movie shoves the father son plot point down your throat, until I had to hear Andrew shove it down my throat on how much it annoyed him. The irony.. Also, the threat of freezing to death was only when the Eye of the storm was above the city.
Come on Andrew, you really think a father saving his son isn’t going to be talked about more than once? It didn’t beat you over the head with it, they gave you an exact representation of what would happen. He would be downright scared of out of his mind for his son. You Are wrong.
the doors didn't STOP the supercold air but it did hinder it long enough to stoke the fires. you can see that the air/frost still creeped in when dennis quaid showed up to the library and the entire room outside the 10ft radius from the fireplace was completely encased in frost. same with the dad and the other guy; he had the fires burning but he still had them inside the arctic tent to further hinder the airflow
A sequel would be interesting, seeing how we adapted to the ice age, and you wouldn't need to bring back the same cast because it could be set any time in the future and wouldn't feel off. I loved this film as a child, was so scary to watch but now it's just sad.
45:00 - snow is crazy reflective. Having your ultrabrights on in a blizzard can very easily blind you. Generally (e.g. in a "normal" snowstorm), your best bet is to have your headlights on so other vehicles can see YOU, and to travel far, far slower than you think you should because of how limited visibility will be.
The only thing I'm going to say about the whole absent storyline, is that I do really enjoy that at no time does Jake Gyllenhaal's character doubt that his father is coming for him. Even with us knowing that he has prioritized work in the past. And even with the example of him almost missing taking his son to the airport. Their relationship is not so fractured that he didn't realize that when the chips are down his father will definitely be there
I have watched this movie at least a dozen times now. (Oddly enough, it's a comfort film for me). I have never once felt like the father-son dynamic was beat over my head. In fact, I understood the real message. Jack wasn't a "bad" father. He was a father to the entire world. While he was "neglecting" his wife and son, he was doing serious research to try to save his son, and all future children for many generations. He was actively fighting to prevent this very thing from happening. He cared more about the millions living. And once he was sure millions WOULD live, only then did he go to save his son. If anything was beaten over my head, it was how much Andrew just complained about it. He seriously gave me those same vibes that incels do when they complain about a character's sex/race being changed in a movie. "It is of zero consequence, but we will fight against this injustice."
For 20 years, The Day After Tomorrow held the record for highest 3-day opening weekend of a natural disaster movie with $68 million, but in July 2024, Twisters beat the record with $81 million. The Day After Tomorrow was released on Memorial Day weekend, total 4-day opening was $85 million, but didn't debut at number 1. It lost the top spot to Shrek 2 with $95 million. This Roland Emmerich's third highest disaster movie with $552 million worldwide behind 2012 with $791 million and Independence Day with $817 million.
We also have to remember that ticket prices are up through the roof compared to 20 years ago. Film's success should be counted with seats, not $$$ imho.
Well, the timing is a bit contrived as they could be anywhere it NYC by this point. It's not like they could have smelled them tasty humans if they had kept going anywhere but south after surviving the wave... somehow.
You know what I do love about the reactions that you guys do ( one particular person more than others 😅) is that around 87.9 percent of the connections you guys make or try to make are usually to a Marvel movie, yet most of the movies that you're watching and reacting to came out well before the movies that you're connecting... soooo I'm basically saying Marvel has taken many ideas from all these other movies then 😅
The snow thing w Hawkeye (only one I remember off the top of my head) doesn't feel like something that'd need to be taken though. There've been a lot of movies, and a lot of things are gonna be relatable to a fan of a particular franchise just because, assuming they've got it on the mind or think of it/reference it often.
No. I can tell you from personal experience. I live by Lake Huron/Georgian Bay (in Wiarton Ontario, on the Bruce Peninsula). The lake effect on the weather from the Great Lakes, is huge. If it's snowing(and blowing) that heavy, you don't want to turn on your high beams, let alone all those spotlights. *It'll bring the visibility down from piss poor, to nill.* It will look like the warp visuals through the Millennium Falcons forward screen/window, in the original Star Wars films. Even low beam will look that way, but not nearly as thickly.
How insane is it to think a movie made in 2004 will have 2024 graphics? Smh when will people stop judging old movies by today's standards? That's not how time works Andrew!
A lot of people in their comments sections are just so bizarrely unfair (ironically in this case in particular). He praised the graphics despite being 20 years old, and then said oh, now this moment looks like 2004, and even included saying "it probably/possibly looked great back then," and I feel like that was POSSIBLY a subtle response to exactly this kind of unfairness, yet it was conveniently ignored to have this particular kind of fun of saying how absolutely wacky/insane/stupid/ridiculous another person on the internet is. I bet you'd walk it back almost instantly if you'd even be willing to say it IRL, face to face. "When will people stop judging...," right back at you.
@@Dylan_Thomas1 all Andrew does is bitch and moan about movie graphics. I’m surprised he didn’t bring up wolverine origins. And yes I would tell him to his face. He’s the worst thing to ever happen to this channel.
My dad wasn't great or there for the most part... but when my chips were down and I had lost everything, he was the one person who came through and pulled me back on my feet. I think that's why I like this movie so much.
When Manhattan was being flooded, that wasn't a tidal wave, it was a storm surge. When a hurricane is moving toward a land mass, the force of the winds pushes a huge wall of water in front of it. Storm surges hit land right before (meteorologically speaking) the actual hurricane does, and are responsible for a whole lot of the initial damage. In the movie, one of those gigantic cyclonic storms is heading toward the NE coastline of the US. Since those storms are freakishly huge, each one covering about a third of the Northern hemisphere, the one heading towards NY is pushing a correspondingly freakishly huge wall of water in front of it, resulting in that freakishly huge storm surge you see in the movie. Tsunamis (aka "tidal waves") are most often caused by underwater earthquakes.
And the Tornados in LA was a result of the temperature change when you get hot and cold fronts meeting it produces tornadoes. The film only focuses on LA but there were probably Tornados happening all over the USA and Canada. The deep freeze only happened in the eye of those hurricanes the temperature dropped outside but the deep freeze was the hurricanes. The storm surge was the from the hurricane pushed ocean water inland. The movie sets up the hurricanes with the ocean temperature dropping the rain and the snow in India.
Andrew for the love of god we get it. You hate the bad father son relationship. But the movie having that as a subplot wasn’t nearly as annoying as you repeating how much you hate the troupe. Grow up
It’s his commentary! Literally the reason why we watch and they react to videos, so THEY can comment and review. Go Andrew!!! I’m actually on the same page as you 😂 I forgot how often they mention the father son relationship 😂 love this movie!
The vice president in this film was quite obviously an analogue of the actual vice president of the time, Dick Cheney, the Big Oil Halliburton executive. The way he was the gatekeeper for the president was also in keeping with how Cheney was said to be the real power behind George W Bush's presidency.
There must be some irony in the fact that commentors are now also beating a dead horse about someone beating a dead horse. This is like the 15th comment ive seen about this lol
I know youre probably used to feedback both good and bad, but i hope you dont let these things get you down. You are authentically yourself, and the varying personalities and opinions are exactly why so many of us love this channel. Keep being who you are, and please dont let comments like this hit your mental health too hard. @andrewgordon7662
Andrew needlessly moaning about the father/husband relationships when it’s giving us the different view points of himself, his wife and his son, also andrew then says i respect your opinion but carried on moaning in disagreement 🤦🏻♂️
Also could have just had a long day . Ive falen asleep to great movies I had to rewatch cause I was just exhausted and when you get comfortable you tend to fall asleep lol
Did you have to hit us over the head with how many times they hit you over the head. And yes the cold will go through doors but you close them to try to fight the cold by heating up the room. And you try to stay awake while watching the movie, you know who I'm talking about
Guys remember he said that they'd have to hunker down and find a place to keep warm and build fires so even though the cold came down in the library they already had the fireplace going they just had to keep the flame up so it wouldn't go out with the descending cold air. The theory still holds true with his father in that restaurant kitchen all these able to keep the flames on inside the kitchen area they would be fine
Thousands?? There are just about 1 million buildings in NYC actually lol (in fact there's so many buildings, it's causing Manhattan to "shrink" under all that weight now)
Is it wrong that I don't think the guy is a bad dad???? Like sure he's married to his work BUT they would have NEVER survived if it wasn't FOR HIM. Also I think the most selfish thing to EVER do is to get injured and never tell anyone about it until its too late.
Every meteorologist and weatherman hated this movie because of how wildly inaccurate it was scientifically and how they used "Movie Science" to bend reality to fit a narrative.
I found it so funny hearing people complain, a fiction movie is not scientifically accurate, wooooow. To me it was funny that one of the things I heard complaints about was the desalinization thing not happening any time soon, and yet past few years they've documented it happening to the north Atlantic current. I recalled seeing a news article and showing to an ex and then bringing up the movie in order to joke about how it predicted it. Obviously not serious but funny to me.
This is definitely one of my favorite disaster movies (my #1 probably being San Andreas) and one of Roland Emmerich’s best😄. I know it has many classic disaster movie tropes, but it’s so fun and re-watchable. The flooding and tsunami in New York were absolutely EPIC and so cool to see on screen. The VFX in that scene were INCREDIBLE🌊🌆🏙️
I don't understand the hate for the father son story. It doesn't bother me. But I have always hated the wolf storyline. Granted, I still love this movie and watch it at least once a year. A little camp is good.
Same. There is enough drama when adding that. I also wanted to know if JD’s brother survived. No one seemed worried about him. I read an article later where Emmerich was asked… and he said that the little brother was evacuated to Mexico. 🤷🏼♀️
@@ryans413nope I have a great relationship with my father actually I just think the writers were completely lazy in the film and hit the audience over the head with Dennis Quaid being married to his work over his family. We just needed it once and we understood. I kept pointing it out because of how ridiculous it was!!!
Birds flying away from danger is a great sign of bad weather. If you want to see some real fun with midwest weather, watch for cattle huddling up in a circle with the calves in the middle. I've seen that right before extreme blizzards and severe thunderstorms.
The vice president in this movie is a pretty obvious copy of then-VP Dick Cheney. (The actor who played the president didn't look or act very much like "Dubya" Bush Jr, though. But then, even back then, it was a welk-known secret that Cheney was the real power behind the Oval Office.)
When I watched this movie when I was younger all I could think about was: Brazil is safe 💃🏻 and it amazes me how a staple of disaster movies is the government ignoring the scientists. Aaand the same thing happens in real life. I wonder what will haaaappen.
@@besupaaa government officials think highly of themselves. So highly in fact they will ignore an expert in a subject because they think they’re the smartest person in the room. Politicians make me sick.
they arent breaking any logic that they established/ you only freeze instantly if you are in the eye directly They were never in the eye directly and when it was coming close to them in the building they were close to the fire and kept it going therefore they didnt freeze
The only unrealistic part is the eye is how many miles wide when it was over New York they all would have frozen instantly it wouldn’t chase them down like shown in the movie.
My dad's love of disaster movies transferred over to me. I remember seeing this in theaters and I like it. This is a movie he re-watches ALL the time. No matter what channel it's on, he'll put it on. Drives my mom crazy.
they cared about their passports because, aside from the fact that they did not know they are characters in a disaster film, being a foreign country whose language you dont speak without your passports could get them in trouble and prevent them from returning home. common sense.
This is a fun popcorn movie, where you can just relax and watch people running for their lives, while you're snug and warm. The performances were good, the score helped to build tension, and the visuals overall are pretty good. I think it's aged well. Jake is always good, but Emmy Rossum was very likeable too, and I saw her in this before I saw The Phantom of the Opera, where she was amazing. I still give it a thumbs up.
@@ryans413 partly depends on type of tsunami. Some tsunamis are caused by land slides (including underwater ones), others by explosive forces, others by impact events. Not all of them are directly caused by earth quakes. In fact, the highest tsunami recently recorded was caused by a landslide in a fjord in Greenland (its effects were limited to that locality), measuring in the 100s of feet in height.
There is an English word meaning “day after tomorrow,” which is “overmorrow.” It’s fallen out of use, however, to the point of not being worth using. There’s also a word for “day before yesterday” which is “ereyesterday.” Likewise, you’re unlikely to ever hear it used.
I love this movie, yeah its extreme but there are some cool details. Fun fact time: This movie spoke of polar ice caps melting and desalinating the north Atlantic current, That is actually happening now, for like past few years I've been reading how theres been changes like this happening. Of course nothing like the movie, but still neat in the nerd sense.
I literally can't take this movie serious because of the book burning. It's like the put it in to make some sort of point? There's tables, chairs, and desks all over that library which would burn better than books.
The only thing I can think of is maybe it'd be harder to tear them apart to get them into the fireplace especially the shelves but the chairs yeah bash them against the shelves until one or both breaks
The furniture and shelves in such a famous public building are probably treated and/or varnished to make them last longer. (Think: college dorm furniture, also designed to last). I am not sure such furniture would burn easily compared with books. Just my 2 cents
I never thought about it until now but as soon as I thought about it, I immediately thought about how hazardous that would be. It’s much safer for their lungs to burn the books than furniture. And it was probably easier too.
Flight Of The Phenix is so underrated I love that movie Dennis Quaid , Tyree’s Gibson , Giovanni Ribisi , Hugh Laurie. It’s got Dr House in for god sake. Lol
I used to watch this movie on repeat when it first came out on DVD. It still hold up. One of the best disaster movie of all time in my opinion. Glad it's finally getting a reaction. 🤘
2:37 3:24 Gotta appreciate the Reactions Andrew is in. Saves me doing the "heavy lifting" when it comes to knowing all the members of the supporting cast. 👍 Also, the younger guy is Dash Mihok. He was in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and the Alanis Morissette music video "So Pure". 😉
I guess I see it differently. The dad's work is very important, and because of that, he isn't always there for his son. Yet every time they interact, the father is completely present. He wasn't a bad father he just wasn't there all the time. My father who was only in my life when it benefits him could never be a quarter of the father that's in this movie
40:40 "Where you getting this information from?" Sam: "My father's a scientist. He works for the government." Bystander: "Yeah, all the more reason not to listen to him or you." 42:16 This reporter chick was in Independence Day reporting on that Sky Crane helicopter that was rigged as the "Welcome Wagon". 49:25 Well, in light of the present circumstances, she has a new future to look forward to, that of a Keeper of Knowledge.
To burn wooden floor boards, furniture etc, you’d need an accelerant of some kind. So in fact burning the books is smarter as paper doesn’t necessarily need anything other than flame to burn.
@J05H.. Surely, using some books to get the fire started would be enough. But if accelerants were needed, they'd find something in the janitors office? My thoughts were that the wood, undoubtedly heavy hard-wood would burn longer and more intensely than just books on their own.
A forgotten detail. Emmerich couldn't find anyone to finance this movie, so he did it himself. I doubt he could have let the US President die off camera otherwhise.
Assuming they're friends if not at least friendly with each other I can't imagine they don't EVER talk about it. Same way you'd complain about any job I imagine. Also they've mentioned it on video before, I think it was Roxy and Andrew. I know she referenced the awkwardness between them in reactions and that people thought she didn't like him or something.
Oh man. You skipped one of the best lines in the whole movie. The last chunk of ice was the size of Rhode Island, I would call that pretty sensational.
This is one of my favorite disaster movies to be honest no life saving solution just if you aren’t on this part of the world your fcked. 😂🤷🏾♀️I find it crazy nobody listens to the warnings until it’s to late now they are trying to act shocked like there was no warning. The parts of the movie I really enjoyed were the visuals the moment they are in the eye of the storm and everything goes silent and still very eerie, the water rushing in and flooding the city terrifying af, everything freezing over and the ship passes by, and the dad making it to his son obviously. 10:42 in his school my pre cal teacher literally said the same thing because I didn’t show work on literally ONE part of a test and it was one of those things were you didn’t have to do the long winded work you could really memorize it but of course I just HAD to be cheating. 😂
I had an algebra 2 teacher like that. I was assigned to her class for the next two years. The school refused to let me change teachers or challenge the course until the end of my senior year, where I passed the test with flying colors and FINALLY got my math credit to graduate.
"I find it crazy nobody listens to the warnings until it’s to late now they are trying to act shocked like there was no warning." That's actually the most accurate part of this movie 😂 It came out 20 years ago and despite how things are getting visibly, undeniably worse climate-wise, people _still_ aren't listening to the warnings. Turns out denial is the most powerful force in the universe. I guess it's gonna take the famines for people to say "Omg, why didn't anyone say/do anything?"
@@lunacouer you know what you’re so right we are being told pretty often we are basically destroying our planet and nobody listens I guess ignorance really is bliss lol.
@@aj383 I honestly don’t understand why some teachers don’t seem to understand every student is different, we learn different and, retain information different I get showing the work so they know we understand but I think after a student pretty much proves they can it shouldn’t be a question anymore.
Coming from Florida, the whole not listening to warnings is so insanely common. Hurricane coming? Naaaah were fine. Evacuate? By the time we get out it would of past us. etc
You have to see The Perfect Storm, based on real events about what some fishermen experienced at sea in what was the storm of the century, great movie by Wolfgang Petersen with George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg.
by far my favorite disaster movie! it always felt less schlocky to me than other disaster movies and a bit more sincere, maybe because climate change isn't a sci-fi or fantasy device even if it's made more immediately dangerous here. and with the escalating storm seasons the last few years, it feels even less out there in some respects
@@richardhansen3703 the door is not 100% sealed like an aircraft door or a watertight door air will still get in. A library door is not an air tight door.
@@richardhansen3703 yes true but it won’t stop the air it’ll just enter slowly but the fire will keep it from getting colder the door being shut helps it heat up quicker
I know the movie played it like they were blocking the "ice monster" by closing the doors but it does logically make sense to close doors and windows to keep as much heat as possible in the room. More heat = less cold.
Love this movie. While in school every teacher would show one of two movies: Finding Nemo and this. Especially at the end of the year, you’d watch an hour of this in science class head over to history or something and watch the first hour all over again. Good times.
It's crazy you guys, understandably, gave the cop and the others that left with him, the benefit of the doubt. Since we as the audience had information, they (kinda) didn't have. But didn't give that same grace to the students for not knowing that there were wolves on that ship. The students would have had no contacts to even guess that there were wolves free on that ship. Where is at least Jake Gyllenhaal's character told the cop that a professional told us to stay.
