Movie Review #13 2012

The previews looked good, the premise sounded horrible, it was outsold by New Moon, I loved it. The action is non stop, the story is surprisingly intelligent, and there's actually a pretty good twist too. The only thing I didn't really enjoy was how... impossible everything seemed. I mean, millions upon millions of people died in the catastrophes and this one guy and his family escapes... COME ON. But still, it's fun to pretend!

2012 uses science to explain why the Earth is ending, and it explains it well, its pretty believable, especially if you know nothing about science, and even if you know a little about it. Whether you agree with the 2012 theory or not you should give it a chance, the visuals were just stunning, but they helped the story! Visuals are sometimes used as padding for a horrible story, *cough cough* Transformers 1 and 2, but 2012 blends the two elements together to make a pretty good movie!

Bottom Line: Personally I didn't think I'd like it, but I did. give it a chance, put your cynical-ness aside and go see/rent it.

Rating: 8.5/10
