Roland Emmerich’s high-concept sci-fi thriller is about a climatological disruption of inconceivable proportions that ravages the world, sending millions of terrified survivors surging South. Heading in the other direction, however, is Professor Adrian Hall, a brilliant paleoclimatologist whose own son Sam may still be alive in New York City, now a frozen wasteland. (USA, 2004, 124 min., PG-13 | Dir. Roland Emmerich)
