Remember the 2004 movie, The Day After Tomorrow?

[MoonRiver]

It perfectly predicted what we're going through right now. At the time I believed it was prescient, because the science presented made so much sense. My only hope was if we humans could get a clue, which we didn't

1. The survivors fled to Mexico

Like Flyin Lyin Ted

Yup

[MoonRiver]

2. In the movie, if I recall correctly, Kansas was the line of demarcation between freezing to death

and surviving. People, in the movie, were fleeing to south of Kansas. But of course, Texas is no longer safe.

4. Turned out Kansas wasn't far enough

Americans who could were eventually fleeing to Mexico, and Mexico welcomed them. Just a bit of irony there.

8. A minor plot point

In the film, Mexico forces the U.S. to forgive all of its debt before they'll open their borders to Americans. It was a nice twist!

9. I thought it was important, especially considering what happened after it came out

With the border wall and treatment of Mexico and Mexicans. It was a nice touch and made the point that we need to treat people in other countries the way we want to be treated. It came at the end, as a sort of way of saying 'this is how we need to move forward as a country'.

5. Wasn't That The Core or Some Other Disaster Movie?

I seem to remember, in The Day After Tomorrow, that we basically had to beg Mexico to let us in. Mexico said "yes". Maybe I'm thinking of that Supervolcano (Yellowstone) mini-series that was on Discovery. That one, BTW, is one of the best I've seen.

3. Great Movie i watch it every time it comes on ...

My daughter 11 doesnt like it because she says it could happen unless we start making changes....

6. It Was A Fun Movie.

On a macro level I believe the science was pretty good. On a micro level it's pure Hollywood. ...and that's fine by me.

7. I first saw it in the theater

Now I watch whenever it's on. Great special effects. Compelling story because it's too close to truth.

10. I always wondered where were the parents of the little cancer patient?

His parents/guardian abandoned him didn’t they?
