Roadshow have aimed the release squarely at the under 15s, but if they ever decide on another release, one for the fans of filmmaking craft wouldn’t go astray. It’d be great to see the technical details behind an incredible project that marshalled several hundred computer technicians alone.

The bombshell that one of them has cancer and might not even live to see the new Star Wars makes the situation even more urgent, and they decide to throw caution to the wind and embark on one more stupid childish adventure — drive across the country, break into Skywalker Ranch and steal the print to watch for themselves.

Structurally, The Day After Tomorrow is like The Poseidon Adventure — the money-shot destruction scenes comprise the first and second acts, leaving the characters stricken, trying to save themselves and each other.
