Is 2012 The Best Calamity Movie Ever Made?
If you haven’t seen the end of the world thriller “2012,” then hopefully this review will convince you to. I’ll tell you up front that this movie is definitely worth seeing, and will be well worth you money. By the end of this article, you’ll understand why. This movie, of course, is based on the prediction that the world will end in 2012. While that may be true, hopefully you’ll read this article before then.
Overall, this is a great disaster movie filled with great special effects, and human drama. It does have a bit of a moral message that wouldn’t seem disagreeable to too many people, but the overall story is entertaining and doesn’t slow at any point during the movie. It’ keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
Our tale begins with two scientists, one from India, and one who works for the United States government deep in some underground laboratory. They discover some troubling information regarding the core of the Earth, which indicates that our collective goose may be cooked.
While the government works on their plan to save what they think they can, we meet the main characters and see how they deal with the problem as it manifests itself. As the government has kept it secret, they are left to figure out what is happening on their own. Some figure out what to do in time to save themselves, others must accept their impending doom.
Some of the characters that we meet are fine, upstanding and moral people that we wouldn’t mind having as next door neighbors, or even in-laws. Nevertheless, we must watch as they realize that the end is near, and they must accept their fate.
As those that survive come together and discover the “project” that the world governments have been secretly working on, we are faced with a dilemma. If you were to only save a small percentage of the population, who would be saved? The super smart? The super rich? The common man? I believe this question is effectively and satisfactorily answered. I recommend that you watch this movie as soon as possible, before the end comes for real.
