Bad science, bad movie?

Climate and weather scientists from the University of Washington did not have kind words for "The Day After Tomorrow," the global-warming disaster movie opening today. "Shameless scientific prostitution" is how Gerard Roe, a professor in the Department of Earth and Space Sciences, described it after taking in a sneak preview with his colleagues.

P-I film critic William Arnold had somewhat nicer things to say about the film, which he gives a B-. That seems to be more or less the consensus opinion of other critics.
