a5c7b9f00b A frustrated writer struggles to keep his family alive when a series of global catastrophes threatens to annihilate mankind.
Several years before, geologist Adrian Helmsley comes across information that shows the world will come to an end in 2012. No announcement is made but the G8 countries begin to prepare for the event. Jack Curtis is a divorced and a less than successful writer. While on a camping trip with his children in Yosemite, he meets Charlie Frost, who is preaching that the end of the world is at hand. A series of events leads Curtis to believe what Frost has told him and with his family, heads for China where the industrialized countries have been working on a response to the impending disaster.
I&#39;ve heard a lot of bad things about the film 2012, but I have to disagree because for me it was a smashing film, exciting, edge of your seat stuff!<br/><br/>The CGI and special effects were top class, the crew made full use of what was available…, okay it may have been a little CGI heavy, but in a film like this with the world as we know it coming to an end, the film benefited from having so much in the way of visual spectacle. <br/><br/>The acting, granted, was a little rusty and you could expect better from the talent involved; the little girl Lilly, played by a very young Morgan Lily was probably the worst of the bunch, the girl can&#39;t act and was constantly getting on my nerves, coming across as a spoiled brat.<br/><br/>There were probably better actors to take on the lead role of Jackson Curtis rather than John Cusack, but he did his best and gave what I believe to be the finest performance of the whole film. On another note, what&#39;s with the name Jackson Curtis, sounds more like a rapper! <br/><br/>Overall the film felt rushed, but that isn&#39;t exactly a bad thing, when the world is coming to an end and everyone&#39;s dying except for the privileged few, every last thing in that world is going to be rushed, everyone is going to be at panic stations not knowing what to do for the best; so the quick pace of the film and the action added to the tension and realism. <br/><br/>I put 2012 up there alongside Independence Day as my favourite disaster films, it really is fun to watch, so ignore all the pessimistic reviews slating the film for one reason or another, and just sit down and enjoy 2012 for what it is.
i was looking foreward to see this long awaited epic movie but…i was very disappointed aftwerwords,even in the first break i actually wanted to leave the room because of the ridiculous way this story keeps stretching the meaning of the word tension,i mean how many times can one escape at the last second from disaster??1,2 or 3times avctually in this movie it was i think 10times,it&#39;s just too much of a good thing witch took away all the pleasure one usually has to experience watching these special effects on a big screen,it took away all fun,i saw &quot;knowing&quot; a few months ago and it so much better even the special effects were so much better timed and just took you more than in 2012,it was like an avalanche of special effects well they loose their effect when used too much this is how i felt it,i was actyually pretty sad that they made a movie so expensive and mess it all up with a ridiculous story and totally unbelevable follow ups of last minute escapes,even my10year old son found this too much of a good thing.
God forgive me, but I enjoyed the nerve-racking silliness of this newest, loudest exercise in destruction.
December 21st, 2012 marks the ending of the 13th b&#39;ak&#39;tun cycle of the Mayan Long Count Calendar, and it&#39;s also the last cycle of the Long Count. The Mayan Calendar ends December 21st, 2012. The 2012 Doomsday belief suggests that the Mayans foretold the end of the world at this time and, since the world is ending, there&#39;s no need to continue counting days or making calendars past that point. While that date would have had significance to the Mayans, there&#39;s no proof they actually believed the world would cease to exist. The ending of one calendar would start a new calendar, similar to how the current year ends on December 31st, but a new year is made at the same time. Some news articles published in the months leading up to December 21st, 2010, finally called into question the validity of the Mayan Calendar, stating that the end date of the calendar is recalculated to bypass December 2012 or that it had already passed. Director Roland Emmerich is known for his disaster films full of moments of comic relief. 2012 has a bit of comedy in it, but the majority of the movie is serious and sometimes quite emotional and dramatic. The scientists in the film state that the end of the world has started earlier than predicted; most likely during the summer period of 2012 and not winter, as newscaster dialog announces that the XXX Olympic Summer Games (to be held in London from the 27th July to the 12th August, 2012) have been suspended in the movie. Since the movie is about the end of the world, the majority of the world&#39;s population die, but many of the main characters survive. It has been mentioned that 100,000 people would be on each ark, plus some 10,000 Chinese workers. There are three of these ships in total, meaning that around 310,000 people survived. No. It&#39;s impersonator <a href="/name/nm3636991/">Lyndall Grant</a> playing the part of Governor Schwarzenegger and reading his dialog for comic effect. President Thomas Wilson (<a href="/name/nm0000418/">Danny Glover</a>) decides to stay behind while his staff boards Air Force One to escape the upcoming natural disasters. When a large earthquake strikes the nation&#39;s capital, the President, along with many others, is helping wounded citizens on the front lawn of the White House &amp; everyone is knocked to the ground. After the President picks himself up, he sees a large tsunami carrying a aircraft carrier hurdling towards him. The scene ends as the wave and the carrier (ironically named the USS John F Kennedy CV-67) crash into the White House. Not really but Jackson (<a href="/name/nm0000131/">John Cusack</a>) is probably meant to, in a minor way, symbolize Christ. Jackson&#39;s initials are J.C., and there are biblical references, such as his son being called Noah, and the arks are to help during the flood. He also leads a group of people away from danger to safety, which is a slight parallel to Jesus leading his followers to a new faith in God, etc. 2012 is based on a spec script (speculative script) co-written by director Roland Emmerich &amp; co-producer Harald Kloser, indicating in the the end credits that the film was &quot;inspired in part&quot; by the book Fingerprints of the Gods by Graham Hancock. The film borrows several themes and elements from Jules Verne&#39;s rarely known novelette &quot;The Eternal Adam&quot;, which shows a distant future archaeologist called Sofr-Ai-Sr, who belongs to a completely different civilization from ours called Hars-Iten-Schu, and someday finds a manuscript inside an aluminum box, narrating how in May 24th, 2XXX, a limousine driver called Modesto Simonet, his scientific boss (who wrote the manuscript), other scientifics on a vacation, and several other notable men and their families in Rosario, Mexico, survived a sudden flooding from the Atlantic Ocean by the heroic act of Simonet, who drove a car as fast as he could towards the mountains. In a matter of hours, the whole American Continent sinks in the ocean, except for the small island that used to be a mountain. They are rescued by a cargo ship, and they wander in a futile search for land anywhere else, only to discover that the tiny island was growing every time they passed by. The manuscript author ponders on the fate of Atlantis, and points a parallel with his situation. This old document leads Sofr to think that his civilization is descendant from those survivors after a period of mass involution of the human race, and that they survived thanks to a whole new continent that raised from the bottom of what used to be the Pacific Ocean for the survivors, and for Sofr is the only existing continent. Also, Sofr theorizes that is imminent that another global flooding happens someday. While the movie is far from an adapted work, a small credit would have been used instead of that of Graham Hancock, given the obvious allusions, but the reason why it wasn&#39;t the case is not known by the public. The world was either not given enough time to finish them or there wasn&#39;t enough money to build them without drawing attention and causing panic. Also, the Captain of the main cruiser tells Anheuser that one of the other ships developed a technical malfunction and possibly can&#39;t be used during the evacuation.
