	Media	Author	Review
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"So, yes, the movie is profoundly silly. What surprised me is that it's also very scary. The special effects are on such an awesome scale that the movie works despite its cornball plotting (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"There are some great special effects (...) You have to get through an awful lot of terrible dialogue and acting, however (...) to get to those spectacular scenes."
		A. O. Scott The New York Times	"A two-hour $125 million disaster -- excuse me, I mean disaster movie -- "
		Maitland McDonagh TV Guide	"The spectacle is undeniably spectacular, though many of the CGI effects are so patently artificial they seem more suited to a video game than a major motion picture (…) Puntuación: ★★ (sobre 5)"
		Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"The spectacle, which is colossal and at times staggering to behold, begins within two minutes of the fade-in and keeps coming until the finish. I thought I'd seen it all. I hadn't."
		James Berardinelli ReelViews	"An ode to an apocalyptic endgame of global warming (...) with modern-day special effects. It's cheesy and over-the-top, but the disaster sequences are well crafted (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Don’t ask whether or not you should take 'The Day After Tomorrow' seriously. Don’t take it at all (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"
		Kelly Lawler USA Today	"The real star of this movie is the tidal wave over the Statue of Liberty. That tidal wave deserves an Oscar for best supporting actor (...) Even 12 years later, the effects (...) are still incredibly impressive"
