Review 2012

Let’s remove your logic hat and focus on the movie. Logical mind will reject the whole idea of the movie, thus there’s no way you would enjoy the movie as it is.

There were countless theories about the end of the world. Some predicted there will be a huge impact between Earth and meteorite or other planet. Some says it’s the sun that will lose its power like other stars in Milky Way did. Some claimed the Earth will execute its own cycle and the ice age will soon come again, where the world populations will perish.

Those were the theories in the REAL world. The world we live in. google up if you feel the need.

But in this movie, the world got messed up big time similar to Mayan's predictions on the apocalypse. World map changes, some of the dry lands sink completely and some of them shift to new latitudes. Most of the destructions involved sea water to rise so high with unbelievable speed which destroyed the whole human populations. Everything is gone just in matter of seconds.

The government *US government, of course* hides the REAL problems to the public, feared there will be social chaos and rebellious acts. VVIP planned to build ships to save them from the terror, and each life cost ONE BILLION EURO.

This is when I thought, “Holy crap, one BILLION? That’s so crossing the line.”

A billion Euro equals to 1.5 Billion US Dollar. Sunil Mittal from India can only get like, 7 seats? And Donald Trump can only save himself and his wife. I doubt Oprah Winfrey or Madonna can make it. That’s how big ONE BILION EURO is.

So the ticket price for the La-La Ship is totally bullshit. They should amend that part.

Although the graphic works and movement of the movie is superb, and John Cusack delivered his character like a pro (well, he’s undeniably a great actor)~ I still think that the whole movie is a bit dragged, especially during the part where they can’t seal the ship. We all know they will survive, so cut the suspense and thrill off after 5 minutes. It started to make the audiences lose their focuses with that long-flooded scene.

Anyway, the movie is worth watching. It’s a great epic adventure that concluded knowledge of ancient civilization and scientific findings. It makes you THINK.

Make sure you get a large popcorn combo because the duration of this movie is nearly 3 hours. But it’s worth it.Watch it in cinema to enjoy the details on the graphic works, or buy the original DVD.

Rate: 8/10
