The Day After Tomorrow(2004)The entire Northern Hemisphere endures a storm that triggers the onset of a new Ice Age. A climatologist and a small band of survivors try to stay alive. For more about The Day After Tomorrow and the The Day After Tomorrow Blu-ray release, see the The Day After Tomorrow Blu-ray Review published by PeteR on October 29, 2007 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5. Director: Roland Emmerich Writers: Roland Emmerich, Jeffrey Nachmanoff Starring: Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal, Emmy Rossum, Dash Mihok, Jay O. Sanders, Sela Ward Producer: Mark Gordon » See full cast & crew The Day After Tomorrow Blu-ray, Video QualityFox has encoded The Day After Tomorrow in 1080p MPEG4 AVC. The results are outstanding, but just short of the best demo material. The video is clean with good color and sharpness without edge enhancement. However, the image is missing the depth and dimensionality of the best HD presentations. This isn't the fault of the transfer or encoding since the film was heavily processed and the disc faithfully represents what I saw theatrically. With so much violent weather it's hard to say what is intentional and what isn't. What may be codec/transfer related is a bit of what looks like video noise that creeps into some scenes. The opening flyover in Antarctica, fully CGI, reveals some what appears to be static just below the horizon line. This isn't an issue with most of the film though. Quibbles aside, this is still a very, very good high definition experience. Textures and things like tiny bits of snow are easily resolved. The amount of detail in the effects sequences is amazing and will help keep the film from aging prematurely like several other CGI- based features of the past 10 years. Just go to the L.A. tornado sequence to get an idea what I'm talking about: I saw debris and other items I hadn't noticed before, not even in the theater. This makes the Blu-ray an appreciable upgrade over the DVD version. The Day After Tomorrow Blu-ray, Audio QualityNote: this disc is encoded with 5.1 DTS-Master Audio, since I am using the Sony PlayStation 3 as my playback unit only the lossy core 1.5Mbps DTS is currently available to me. Even without access to the full lossless audio track, The Day After Tomorrow is quite an experience. Stargate, ID4, Godzilla...all of Emmerich's films have been a terrific sonic demo and this film tops them all. Dynamic range is powerful, the many storm sequences give all 6 speakers a workout. You really feel immersed by the soundtrack. This film is not meant for a cheap home theater in a box! Again, the L.A. tornado sequence is prime demo material, with the sounds of destruction occuring wherever you turn your ear. With a good subwoofer, when the building shakes, so will yours! The soundtrack is also available in French and Spanish in Dolby Digital 5.1 @ 448kbps. Note to Fox: Blu-ray supports the full Dolby Digital 640kbps bitrate! The Day After Tomorrow: Other Editions
