End of the world conflict. Will mankind survive their continuous abuse of world resources? So begins the story. A team of scientists while out on an expedition witness a shift in climate temperatures. A huge chunk of polar ice breaks off, indicating a global warming trend in earth's atmosphere.

This starts an action-packed, on the edge of your seat, experience that one isn't soon to forget. Worldwide catastrophe and disaster occur. California feels the wrath of massive tornadoes. New York City is ravaged by a tidal wave, ice and snow, but not before Europe and other countries are buried under several feet of snow and ice themselves. Multiple hurricanes, tornadoes, tidal waves, floods and the beginning of the next Ice Age. Phew, can you feel your heart beating?

Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid), a paleoclimatologist, and a few of his cohorts try to save the world from the effects of another ice age, due to global warming. His son Sam (Jake Gyllenhaal) is in New York City, at a competition, when the climate shifts start occurring, and New York City feels the anger of mother nature's fury. Jack sets off to save his son , hoping his son lives through the on slot of world-wide storms now hitting the USA.

World devastation or close to now unfolds. Scenes and effects that leave you searching for warmth and solutions to the problem at hand makes your heart pound with the possibilities that this could actually happen. Could the government be so proud and ignorant they'd refuse to listen to, or admit to what is going on in the world around them? Could the key to solving global warming be as simple as taking notice to what our earth is trying to tell us?

You'll have to view the movie to see how it plays out. Let's just say though, more than just the United States is affected. The effects of such a disaster breaks down the walls of world conflict, in a third world country. While some might not enjoy this, even view it as fanciful or exaggerated, the topic of global warming is on the mind of many people around the world. We live in a time where we personally see or hear about the catastrophes that affect other lands, our lands due to the shift in climate temperatures. Our ozone is breaking down even now. What can we do to repair it?

While this movie is that, a movie, what can happen to our planet is very real because of abuse we inflict upon. The movie is worth the almost two hours of viewing. I suggest a hot drink or a warm blanket when watching. It leaves you feeling chilled to the bone.
