2012 the review...



Water rushing, volcanoes erupting. Chaos is everywhere. Humans running away trampling over each other just to save their lives. Well, what can you expect? It's a disaster film. That is 2012. Another random time when I have nothing better to do than to sit in the cinema, with popcorn and with my girlfriend.

2012 started with a quite calming scene of 2 friends visiting. However, it turned quite fast into a disaster. Global temperature rising. NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh well, that's what you expect of one anyway. Roland Emmerich didn't waste time into bringing the suspense early in the story. However, the suspense was a little way too early but, it shows that Roland Emmerich does not intend to waste time over boring intros.

The story progression kept the viewers stick to their chairs instead of leaving the cinema. Kudos to the CG team. Without it, the movie would have sucked like 2012: Doomsday. Well, can't compare high budget films with low budget films. The action scene was so-so. The supposedly comedic parts were lame. A supposedly intense scene turned me down when the actor was way too calm in such an intense scene.

Despite the lame comedic scenes, the progression of the story was average. But, the CG pulled up the scores for the whole show. I'm giving it a 7/10

Views on Humanity...

Today, I started to look back at humanity itself... We are such pitiful creatures... With our vast knowledge, yet, we could not progress far... Such a pity... The main reason... We did not put our knowledge to full use... Instead of focusing on such unimportant matters such as war and politics, we could have focused more on bringing peace to everyone... Nuclear weapons? We don't need them... They have no use for us... Who says peace can be achieved through war? Is this saying really true? that a total annihilation of one side means peace? Wouldn't this continue on for another one? Eventually, we will annihilate ourselves... Think again...
