2012, The End of the World as We Know It

Exactly as expected, 2012 is the most massive, CGI-driven movie in history; what I didn't expect was that I would enjoy it. Don't blow an artery...it's really entertaining and has a nice, simple story.

2012 – If the Apocalypse is Now, Maybe the Originality Comes Later

Jesus said that as it was in Noah’s day, so shall it be at the end of time. Roland Emmerich’s 2012 takes this foreboding prophecy and spins it into a cataclysmic tale of the world’s date with destiny, replete with atomic-age “arks” and animals being airlifted into them, two by two, of course.

This movie is full of jaw-dropping special effects and spectacular action sequences that are at once impressive and farcical. Take the first close call the protagonist (John Cusack) faces while haphazardly driving his family through the imminent ruins of a California city. Despite earthquakes decimating skyscrapers and swallowing streets around them, the limousine escapes unscathed. Follow that up with planes taking off and landing along crumbling runways and absurd artistic license concerning the science of tsunamis, doomsday planet alignment, and tropical animals’ arctic temperature tolerance, these visually stunning displays effectively provoke both gasps and giggles.
