Just got back from seeing The Day After Tomorrow. Funny how they had the ISS rotating (like the wheel station in 2001) yet the crew were always able to look out and see the Earth in the same position in the porthole. Plus, they were also able to see the entire hemisphere of the Earth. Pretty good trick from less than 400 km up. Ok, so the plot was predictable, the science was weak (intended understatement) and I'm sure any climatologists in the audience were having a good laugh, but I must say some of the special effects really made the movie for me.
