Don't let the fact that Kevin Costner's in this movie keep you away. We chose it mostly because of the timing after lunch and before our show, but this really was a very well done movie. I'm glad I saw it in a theatre, since the special effects were wonderful.
The cast is great. Even Kevin Costner's acting didn't bother me except for the scenes with Sela Ward, but the fact that Sela Ward was in those scenes saved every one of them for me. I love her! Ashton Kutcher again shows that he truly is a great actor in spite of having been in some crazy teen movies (like Just Married) and running Punk'd. He's a serious actor in spite of his silly roles and he's very good in The Guardian.
I definitely recommend seeing The Guardian in a theatre if you can get there. It just opened, so I'm sure it'll be around for a while.

I expected this movie to be a bit too ridiculous to entertain, but was surprised to find that it was very well done. I should have known with such a great cast that it would be an enjoyable movie, but you can never tell. I loved seeing how they made my home city look so desolate and covered with ice. I think Roland Emmerich and his special effects crew did a great job. The Day After Tomorrow is fast-paced and definitely kept me interested until the very end.
Since the changing weather patterns are in the news frequently, I think they did a good job of capitalizing on this timely matter and exaggerating it to the point where it made an entertaining disaster movie. I think this movie is definitely worth seeing and I'm glad we saw it in a theatre.

The opening scene alone is worth the price of admission for The Fugitive. If you somehow managed to miss this in theatres, it's a must-rent movie. The cast is amazing. The story of a man who was framed for his wife's murder and has to become a fugitive in order to prove his own innocence is wonderful! This is one of the best thrillers of its time!
