Please note the review is for the movie THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW and is narrated via the HUM-TUM comic strip
ing The original HUM-TUM (Me and my wife)
TUM: I have to see this movie tonight
HUM: But it is going to be housefull ..its only the 2nd day of release blah blah ..
HUM manages to get the ticks ..TUM prevails as always
The MOVIE PLOT Yes, there is one ..
Post-Delhi conference where it was snowing (Not shot in Delhi)
TUM: How was your Climatologists conference in Delhi ..
HUM: Cold - The American vice president cold shouldered my ideas
TUM: What ideas?
HUM: My theory that global warming will plunge the earth to another ice age ..
Meanwhile Japan has hailstorms the size of football elsewhere weird things are happening, temperatures keep falling at the rate of 10 degrees per minute. A huge chunk of Antartic Continental shelf has broken away causing such changes affecting the Atlantic current ..more catestrophes and disasters keep happening across the world.
Finally the US President concedes and accepts HUM's theory as explanation to various global reactions - this is after some dazzling special affects
TUM: where are you going now?
HUM: to get our son HUM1 from NewYork back, our predictions show that the center of the hurricane is NY
TUM: what are the consequences?
HUM: The whole city will freeze and temperatures will go below -150
TUM: What about other 2 centers of hurricanes?
HUM: Hey you ask the director about it ..
Somewhere in NY ...The sea has entered the NY city (affects of Global warming) and people are taking refuge in the Public Library
HUM1(screams): I have got to contact my father HUM
TUM1: There are phones downstair but the water is rising rapidly ..take care
HUM(Father): Whatever you do stay inside and do not leave the library ..burn whatever you can books, chairs, tables..
HUM1: oh oh its cold ..brrr
TUM1: Dear I will keep you warm ..use my body heat (Bollywood shades ??)
HUM1(announces to all): we need to burn all the books to keep ourselves warm ...
More dazzling special affects + music later, books keep on burning and the temperature is falling, also we get to see a drifted SHIP entering NY city
Meanwhile HUM(father) continues his journey to NY ..US has started evacuating people down to South ... tan tan tan
The original HUM-TUM in theatre are feeling very very cold by now ..and so is the audience.
More special affects later HUM1 and TUM1 discover love - HUM discovers HUM1 safe & sound - The Choppers discover the rest of the NY people - we (HUM-TUM) discover snow and ice - Audience discover that NY has yet again survived WOW
=====================
Well thats the broad story of HUM-TUM...I mean The Day after tomorrow, if you like special affects & need to kill time and money this is you movie..recommend you to see this movie during the noon when its very hot.
Else I highly recommend ''When Harry Met Sally'' DVD with your HUM-TUM ..feel warm n cozy and yes you can watch it again.
By the way Jake Gyllenhaal (Last seen in Good Girl with Jennifer Aniston) & Emmy Rossum are pleasant fresh faces to watchout for in the future.
Meanwhile HUM-TUM eagerly await the release KILL BILL 2, SPIDERMAN 2, SHREK 2 & HIDALGO 1 he he
