The Day After Tomorrow

» ,

tomorrow.jpgI finally decided to abandon the baby for a night and watched this show last Friday. It was on my “must watch” list after i saw the trailer before I delivered. I thought it is going to be a sci-fi show packed with lots of action and visual effects, my favorite combination! Science wise, a science idiot like me finds them unconvincing and somehow ridiculous. The visual effects are awesome, though some are very “extra”, like the billboard smashing the reporter, Hollywood sign being ripped off and the wolves chasing the guys. Nothing intelligent or surprising with regard to the plot. But overall, I still find it very entertaining and had enjoyed the show tremendously.

Turbulence in the air, tornadoes in LA, flood in New York, hailstones (or hail-rocks) in Tokyo are some of the frightening scenes. Instead, what strike me most are the two babies that make brief appearances. One was sleeping peacefully while the father left for the Scotland lab. The second baby screaming in fear when New York was flooding. At those instances, I am really frighten that my child might be subjected to such hash situation one day and how painful it would be to see the child suffering. Luckily, it was only a movie afterall.

It used to be looking at the handsome guys and beautiful gals while watching movies during teenage years. After graduation, it was fashion, trends that catches my eyes. Then it became home decorations, home accessories after marriage. Now, it become prams, toys, cute little ones that are attracting my attention. Anyway, these has nothing to do with the show, and i guess the day after tomorrow will be the same for me, milk, diaper and crying baby.
