THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW (12A)

If mankind continues to plunder the planet of its natural resources and churn out toxins into the atmosphere, sooner or later Mother Nature will wreak her revenge.

In Roland Emmerich's spectacular ecological disaster movie, a catastrophic shift in the Earth's climate unleashes a series of terrifying weather events which threatens the entire human race.

Wildly implausible ecological disaster movie delivers some thrillingly realised scenes as New York is drenched by a Tsunami and Delhi is pelted by blizzards, but drapes a very thin human drama around the set pieces.
