I do love it when a film puts it's own sell by date in the title.
Now, when it comes to film like this, you have to go with the right state of mind, which is no mind. This film is just a cool movie to see on the big screen. Nothing more, nothing less.
And then it still manages to question the plausibility of the film.
We are talking tight rope walking dogs here.
But to the review, the film is entertaining as an extremely expensive "end of the world" flick can be, it's full the earth falling to ruins, and is a stronger film for it. For a film that has it's ambition to spend money on just showing of lots of cool stuff get wreaked, it's always going to be an easy and pleasurable ambition to succeed at.
The film starts off in the year 2009, where a black scientist finds out that the world is going to end, yes 2012. Nobody listens, and therefore, when it come to 2012, everyone is really surprised when the world ends. Enter John Cusack, as a divorced father, like most of Emmerich's films, I'm even sure that saber tooth tiger from 10,000 BC was divorced. Anyway, he bumps into woody harrelson (who has a shocking resemblance to Carley), who tells him that about some boats that could save his family.
Its a fun film, it's full of destruction, and is almost money well spent.
But it so ruddy implausible, I knew it was going to be silly but my word, it could at least main-stain a tidbit the real world.
it also doesn't help it runs for nearly 3 hours and that every person on the planet has a subplot and all the subplots have to tie into each other, you could of just focused and the black scientist and John Cusack and had nearly halved the time and made double the profit.
Its a daft movie but an enjoyable one, and you will more than likely enjoy it yourself.
MATTINEE!
