2012 Movie Review




2012 is a movie that has been visualled so fantastically by Roland Emmerich. The movie is about the myth regarding the end of this world in 2012 and the happenings thereafter.
This is a reminiscent of yesteryear ’80s shlock-tastic blockbusters -- total popcorn entertainment with ridiculous dialogue and impossible situations and special effects that will boggle the brain for a good two-plus hours. What's so frustrating about "2012" is that it could have been a great action movie. If the special effects team can do their jobs, certainly better writers could have been hired.
The excels in the field of animation but failed in subject. Therefore this movie can only be called a visual thriller. As with "Independence Day," "2012" is what comes of hiring legitimate actors to hawk hokum. And "2012" certainly is all cheese on wry, but it's smart within its means as a palpable, if popcorn, lesson about parental and personal responsibility.
What happens in the movie is that as the action becomes less fabulous and more repetitive over 2012's 150 minutes, the philosophical debate ratchets up.In the final forty-five minutes the movie starts to feel very long and played-out.
But on the whole the movie can't make anyone disappointed at all and it worth watching once for such a visual thriller had never been shot before.

Our Rating: 7.5/10
