Jake Gyllenhaal fans 'on edge of their seats' watching disaster movie

Viewers say this award-winning movie is just as terrifying to watch over 15 years on Movie fans are "gripped" by the disaster flick featuring A-list star Jake Gyllenhaal, as New York City crumbles under the devastating impacts of climate change. The Day After Tomorrow is a thrilling cinematic experience that merges the real-world issue of climate change with the suspense of an edge-of-your-seat thriller, captivating audiences. ‌ It's particularly the film's visual effects that set it apart from its peers in the disaster movie genre, earning it a BAFTA for Best Special Visual Effects. ‌ A glowing critique from Rotten Tomatoes reads: "The Day After Tomorrow plays with the idea of global warming and flips it to global cooling. The visuals and CGI are outstanding. "The whole tsunami sequence and then subsequent freezing scenes are just spectacular to watch even today. "The acting is a little shoddy, with decent performances from Dennis Quaid and Sela Ward. Otherwise, the film is really just a special effects extravaganza geared towards making a statement against global warming." Central to the plot is Jack Hall, portrayed by Dennis Quaid, an American paleoclimatologist who uncovers a colossal ice sheet breakaway that sets off a catastrophic climate shift. He faces a perilous trek back to New York City to reunite with his son as a cataclysmic storm thrusts the planet into a new ice age, reports the Express. Back in the metropolis, his son Sam and a group of pals are preparing to compete in an academic decathlon. But severe superstorms and torrential rains inundate Manhattan, leaving the city awash and residents wading through floodwaters with no means of transport. ‌ In response to the crisis, Hall is pushing for the president to evacuate people further south until the weather subsides, as they face freezing temperatures. As he battles to reach his son, the hurdles intensify and viewers are left biting their nails, questioning if survival is possible in these harsh conditions. A critique says: "Unique and gripping! I hadn't seen a film similar to this before, so I thought this was great to watch. Great acting and very good effects. Will watch this again and again." ‌ Although 'The Day After Tomorrow' has garnered acclaim for its stunning visual effects, opinions are divided over its plot. Scoring a modest 45% on Rotten Tomatoes, it faces scrutiny for acting and scriptwriting from some quarters. One viewer commented: "People who are looking for a great story and characters, this movie is not for you. But, if you like intense sequences that leave you on the edge of your seat, you will love this movie." Meanwhile, another reviewer noted: "Worth a watch during a snow day. There are several holes in the plot, but it's intense and entertaining!". Those intrigued by the prospect of witnessing the world's potential endgame can stream 'The Day After Tomorrow' now on Disney+.

The star, 35, has been visiting Lake Como for a luxury work trip and decided to let her hair down on her last day in the stunning region. 8 8 8 8 In a new video, Stacey can be seen with her bikini-clad work mates as she carefully stands up on the brow of the pretty stone bridge. The lady filming shouts: "Go on, Stace!" Stacey, who had her long hair down, then took a huge leap into the water below before bobbing up to the surface alongside a pal. The mum-of-five has since shared the footage on her Instagram stories with the caption: "GOODBYE Lake Como. "What a special trip. I will never forget this. And I will never not be grateful."

She added: "Thank you from the bottom of all of our hearts to every single one of you who have supported rehab from the very beginning and are still championing it now.

Shameless star made OBE says Prince of Wales joked about her playing Elizabeth I

Shameless star made OBE says Prince of Wales joked about her playing Elizabeth I Anne-Marie Duff said she and the Prince of Wales laughed about her previous role Anne-Marie Duff Shameless star Anne-Marie Duff said she and the Prince of Wales laughed about her previous role playing Elizabeth I as she was formally made an OBE. Ms Duff, 54, played Fiona Gallagher in Channel 4's Shameless TV show and won a best supporting actress Bafta for her role as Grace Williams in Apple TV's series Bad Sisters. ‌ The actor also performed as Elizabeth I in the 2005 to 2006 BBC dramatisation of the monarch's life, titled The Virgin Queen. ‌ Discussing that role led William to joke "this should all be old hat for you, or something" during Wednesday's ceremony at Windsor Castle, Ms Duff said. The actor spoke to the PA news agency inside the Berkshire royal residence after being formally made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for services to drama. Asked if the event had been as expected having played Elizabeth I, she said: "(Windsor Castle) is like a treasure chest, isn't it? Because every piece of every room is swollen with history and art and value, so it's very specific. Article continues below "To be in this environment where people do live and do sit down and have their dinner and all of those things – you know, when you're on location, you don't really have that feeling of something like that, but this is someone's home, which is just extraordinary to me." The Virgin Queen was not filmed at royal residences for security reasons, she said. Ms Duff lives in north London and has a son with her former husband and Shameless co-star James McAvoy. ‌ She said she and the Prince of Wales discussed balancing work and parenting and "how we're all kind of the same". Her next guaranteed job is not until 2026 and she said she cannot talk about other projects that may pop up before then. "There's so much nonsense now, you can't even read scripts now without NDAs (non-disclosure agreements)", she said. ‌ "The streamers are like old Hollywood studios, it's like that, it's so bonkers, so you don't get to sort of enjoy the prelude to things with people – you can't say, oh my god, yeah, I'm going to be doing (this). You have to keep everything on the down-low." She laughed as she said: "I would love to tell you, Your Royal Highness, but ... " "There are snipers everywhere, that's what it feels like, seriously, the walls have ears", she added. ‌ Ms Duff said a play would be the "juiciest" next project for her because she prefers the "communion with people" in theatre, as well as the immediacy and "being in charge of the chronology". She said she discussed her preference for the stage with William. She told PA: "If a light bulb blows, we still go on. It's all of that and the jeopardy of it – when things go wrong, you become so resourceful and having each other's back as a company." Article continues below Asked how she felt after being formally made an OBE, Ms Duff said: "Fabulous, really lucky. You never imagine that – I think especially for people who work in the arts – you never really have a sense of what you do as having a great deal of importance or being a contribution to anything. "You're just so busy working away. It feels extraordinary to be recognised."
