My Impressions of The Day After Tomorrow
Several days ago, I saw a movie—The Day After Tomorrow, which is about disasters and catastrophes. This movie takes a big-budget and special-effects-filled look at what the world would look like if the greenhouse effect and global warming continued at such levels that resulted in worldwide catastrophe and disaster, including multiple hurricanes, tornadoes, tidal waves, floods and the beginning of the next Ice Age.
At the center of the story is a paleoclimatologist, Professor Jack Hall, who tries to save the world from the effects of global warming, while trying to save his son, Sam, who was in New York city as part of a scholastic competition when the city was overwhelmed by the chilling beginnings of the new Ice Age. Jack advised the President to evacuate everybody in the southern states in the US to Mexico, because it was too late to evacuate the people in the northern states. In addition to all the other challenges Dr. Hall faces, he is going against the flow as humanity races south to warmer climes and he is nearly the only one going north. And the ending is that the world becomes peace and that there are survivals and that the US government realizes the truth.
This movie is quite stirring. I was also wondering what the characters would do before the catastrophe when I was watching the movie. I also deeply touched by their courage and there still exists the weakness of human nature. At the same time it also set a platform for us to think about our present world. We human beings have been destroying our environment at such levels that was out of our expectation. Now it’s our time to slow down our speed of economic development and start off movements of control of environmental pollution, movements of conservation of natural resources, movements of restriction of the negative effects of modern technology and the like.
If our world would be like this one day, we would be compelled to inspect our life seriously so that we could recognize whom we really care for and what we really value in our lives.

And the ending is that the world becomes peace and that there are survivals and that the US government realizes the truth. ______make what you want to express clear

I was also wondering what the characters would do before the catastrophe when I was watching the movie._______why "also"?

I also deeply touched by their courage and there still exists the weakness of human nature. ________improve the sentence structure.

At the same time it also set a platform for us to think about our present world. _______前文没有提到it 怎么样，所以这里不能用At the same time it also

We human beings have been destroying our environment at such levels that was out of our expectation————改成非限定定语从句，更能突出你的意思；此外out of our expectation 意思是和我们所期望的相反，感情不强烈，建议改用另外的词。We human beings have been destroying our environment at such levels , which is astonishing.

整篇文章本来寓意可，但是因为文字功夫有限，所以没有给读者带来你所感受到的那样强烈的震撼。希望能再修改。

Thanks a lot! I find that when I want ro express my own ideas  I hardly find  words to cover them. So always I feel too distressed to express my ideas. Thanks for your suggestions and they really make me to think twice when I want how to choose my words.

why also  because at first I think the movie is stirring.
I also deeply touched by their courage and there still exists the weakness of human nature.---I also deeply touched by their courage;however, there still exists the weakness of human nature.
The ending of the movie is that when the catastrophe fades, there are still survivals and the world becomes peaceful again and the US government realizes the truth that we human beings should protect our environment.
