Finally, a Hollywood movie where librarians are portrayed the heroes we really are...We are the Heroes in The Day After Tomorrow!
Just barely, the movie does fly. Emmerich carves out moments of humor that deepen the emotions of the story, like when the New York librarians refuse to allow frigid survivors in the library to burn books for warmth, then insist only bad books can be incinerated.
I think I will go see the movie just to see what "bad" books NYPLers use to stoke the fire.
