Ok, it was Friday night, and 4 out of the 5 of us are still in the house for the weekend. As we only have basic TV, meaning there is never really much on, we all decided we'd go to the cinema =)The new disaster movie, 2012, had just been released and we all thought it was worth a look. So up and off we went to get to the 9pm viewing. The ticket queue wasn't too busy to say it was the opening night and a Friday night no less, but once we had bought our coke and popcorn, it was huge!
We quickly scrambled off to get some seats. Surprisingly, we found four together and settled down just in time. We knew it would be a long film, but it was midnight before we got out of the cinema.
Another late night not helped by the fact that I had an early start this morning, working 9-4.30. I'll get an early night tonight, as I have the same thing tomorrow. But anyway, back to the film. 2012 was a good story, it is based upon the world ending, as the Mayan Calendar predicted, which I’m sure you’ve all heard of.
It starts in 2010, when the problem is first discovered, and quickly flicks to 2012, when the problem begins. The public population is left unaware of the issue and are left worrying when the world is rocked by several large earthquakes.
Soon after,
Towards the beginning, the CGI can be a little disappointing, but if you think about it, some scenes are entirely CGI and so it’s slightly understandable, anyway, it’s still watchable. At other times, the volcano eruption and the end scene, the CGI is visually amazing.
The film has a good story and good actors, making it likely to be a success. At the minute, disaster films like this are popular, and made well, the Mayan Calendar has sparked our interest, and writer’s imaginations.
Though, I hope they're wrong, long live the world! =D
Enjoyable crap
