The 30 day Movie Challenge - Day 25

Day 25 - A movie that no one expected you to love

That one gave me some serious head scratching. Really, what do you actually expect me to love? And I'm sure that you here on my flist has a different view on my movie tastes than, say, my parents, or even my old high school friends. Which is, in part, probably because my tastes have evolved, so unless you've been to the movies with me my entire life, you don't actually get the whole picture. So anyway, I think that most people don't expect me to love blockbuster disaster movies. Cause, well, I don't. And yet I enjoyed The Day After Tomorrow. I mean genuinely, not in a mocking mouahaha wtf way. Of course, there were some wtf moments, but I liked the underlying actual climate change concern, that the plot is based on real hypotheses. Also the irony of the US asking asylum in Mexico and Mexico closing its border ;) And yes, I did enjoy young Jake Gyllenhall very much.

I enjoyed aspects of the movie, certainly seeing the ice freeze effect on New York was well worth it!

Heee now, each time I see the Public Library (for real when visiting NY, or in other movies or TV shows), I think of that movie.
