2012

Roland Emmerich directed this action, adventure, drama, sci fi, fantasy movie and I would say horror movie really in a way, starring John Cusack (Jackson Curtis), Amanda Peet (Kate Curtis), Chiwetel Ejiofore (Adrian Helmsley) and others. 2012 is about the world going through significant disasters as plate tectonics move and the movie shows how some of humanity and various specific characters embark on such a most serious dilemma. Well I have never been a huge fan of world disaster movies, although I have to give credit to effects people today who just seem to be able to pretty much make anything look real on film. This was a disaster movie that also tried to emulate real life people it seemed, like the Governor of California seemingly being Arnold Schwarzenegger and so forth, which I'm sure they do to make you feel more engulfed essentially. For me this movie did not measure much more then other disaster movies out there, that not being a compliment or insult, however certain parts of the solutions and conflicts were unique like human kinds particular attempt at a means of survival. I had seen this particular movie mostly for the heck of it since disaster films are not usually my thing and I sure felt glad to leave that theater in a sound place. In my opinion this movie was not bad but it did not fully and entirely blow me away, excuse the pun on words. In a more further conclusion and in other words my main thought is my guess this movie not to worry on the whole will be found to be pretty good by action seeking audiences because of all the dramatic captivating action that just in my aquired taste though can sometimes perhaps be too intense. Oh and P.S. when in the world are they going to play that R.E.M. song "Its the End of the World" in one of these types of movies!
