What Parents Need to Know
About The Day After Tomorrow
Parents need to know that this movie has intense peril and violence, with the destruction of much of the world. Millions of people are killed, mostly off-screen, though there are some dead bodies and major characters are killed. There are brief images of grisly injuries. Characters drink, including drinking as a way to dull the sadness. Characters sacrifice themselves, sometimes by killing themselves, to save others. A strength of the movie is the portrayal of men and women of different races with courage and ability and devotion, including a loving inter-racial marriage.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about global warming and research the efforts by scientists and politicians to prevent further damage to the ozone layer. They could also talk about why the librarian wanted to save the Gutenberg Bible and about how all of the characters think about (and rearrange) their priorities in the face of disaster. Would your choice for your favorite vacation be like Sam's? Whose decisions do you approve of and why? The politicians speak of "triage," making the very tough decisions to let some people die so that more can live. How do people make those choices? What do you think about the way they decide to define "win?" What will happen in the weeks following the end of the movie, and what will the world look like a year later?

A Decent Disaster Movie...Nothing That Good, but Nothing Bad
Parents need to know that THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW provides a decent movie experience, with implausible moments to the roof but some genuine thrills and chills. That is, if it's appropriate for your kids. This movie has little onscreen violence, but there are heaps of intense peril as all characters are put at the mercy of natural disasters they can't stop. People are frozen, whipped up by wind, and hit by falling debris. You see some frozen corpses as well, but there is only one graphic cut on a woman's leg. It is implied that a husband and wife are going to have sex (unbuttoning her blouse on a couch) but they are interrupted by the storm. There are also some "d**n"s and "a*s"s.

Intense and perilous.
- I rate this title on for age 8 and give itMy concerns are:
- Excessive violence
great movie, but with some violent scenes
this movie is a great educational thriller. i watched it in science class last year and we looked forward to it everyday. one thing that may bother people is some frozen bodies. the special effects are great, which makes all of the action scenes very realistic, but also might scare some younger viewers. one scene that might scare young viewers is when a helicopter goes down and when the pilot comes out, he freezes slowly until he is all ice. also, some realistic wounds are shown. as for romance, all there is is teens kissing. the only drug reference i can remember is when the men in the lab drink some whiskey. there are a few swears, but the language is not too bad. they refer to fox quite alot, but you dont notice it that much. all of the main characters are good role models, so you dont have to worry about that also. to sum it up, this is a great movie with some violent scenes. i recommend this for people that would understand what is going on (generally ages 8+).

Awesome movie!!!!!!!! :)
I liked this movie alot. I saw it when i was eleven and it's one of my fave movies now!!!! But little kids probably shouldn't see it because they wouldn't understand. My little sister kept asking throughout the movie what was going on. But VERY good movie!!!!!!

I rate this title on for age 13 and give itDespite what commonsense says, I thought this was a good movie...
This movie is unique, and has a pretty cool story, I thought. Some great special effects, which add to the movie. Sensitive 11-12 year olds should not be watching this, and I personally reccomend this to all 13 year olds, but non sensitive 12 year olds will do fine as well...

AWSOME!!
I saw this movie first when I was about nine and a half. My friend who had hust turned ten about six months before did not understand most of the stuff in it. I was able to comprehend it all! We are watching it again in my science class (I am in the sixth grade) and we all have been loving it! When there are questions to be asked around the area of where I sit the kids ask me instead of disturbing the teacher. So,I give this movie two thumbs up,well just because it is a great movie to watch and learn things from and to just watch with your family and have a GREAT time doing it at the same time!!

pretty good
this was a pretty good movie. i liked it a lot. it is very predictable though.
- I rate this title iffy for age 13 and give it
I enjoyed this movie very much. The whole story is very interesting, and seeing a familiure city like New York totally changed was entertaining. It's rather depressing throughout the first half of the movie. Lots of people being killed, etc. I've only seen it once, and it's left me wanting to see it again.
