Film Review - The Day After Tomorrow

This film summons the sense of an impending apocalypse through the use of relentless banality. The sense of pointlessness throughout is designed to quicken your decline towards death.

We never get to see any of the first two days’ shooting of this motion picture, as the focus is always on the day after tomorrow, at the time of shooting – hence the title. As a result of this we are treated to an hour of Robbie Williams, who appears as himself, acting as himself later on in the week. If you do start to tire of this, persevere as you will be rewarded in the end.

At the hour mark in the film, we see Robbie, on a Thursday, depicting himself acting out the end of the film, which is going to be shot on the Saturday. From then on things really hot up.

With the shooting of the film out of the way, but half-an-hour of film left to fill, we get to see Robbie pretending to go about the business he intends to go about in two days’ time. Mostly this is talking to friends about how rubbish the film he has starred in will be, but be warned, there are also a number of scenes of defecation
