so my wife was very excited to go see 2012 and to be honest i was too, i like john cusak…..i think he is a good actor and liked a lot of his movies, so i thought this would be a very good movie. i booked the tickets for saturday for the 20:12pm show (now how awesome is that?)

if you have not seen the movie yet, i would really suggest not reading any further unless you don’t give a damn about the movie

the movie for the first hour and a bit was pretty good…but then it started to drag like hell. the movie is over two and a half hours. most of the time you see cusak dodging every disaster by a mere second or two. (seriously, the first one or two times is alright, but every bloody time?). it’s amazing how the disasters just follow them the whole way, in one direction only. i know it’s a movie but this was just ridiculous. and the kicker was the whole world got flooded (in a matter of a day and a bit) and they built arks for certain people who paid billions of dollars. then a year later, the water mysteriously went down ALOT.
i did a real facepalm in the end when they said “the drakensberg in south africa was visible, maybe that’s why they call it the cape of good hope!” seriously…what in the hell!

but what i really don’t get is the fact that the sun basically nuked the earth’s core resulting in the crust “melting” causing immense damage to the earth. how does one expect to live? surely that would destroy a planet totally? oh and while they were on the ark, they seem to all still wear the same clothes after a year. nice hygiene!

loved the preview, but movie disappointed me. effects and that were awesome.

6/10 overall.
