Here we have yet another elephantine-budgeted, visual effect opus by sci-fi thriller maven Roland Emmerich, the director of Independence day, Day after Tomorrow , Godzilla and many others. Having taken the names of his previous grand epicurean works, now you know what to expect from the movie. 2012 is the year when, as per the mayan calendar, the earth is suppose to undergo massive makeshift. Only the opulent and the warned could be saved by a secretly prepared haven set up at a perfectly covert place.
The onset revolves around a man who is struggling to save the lives of his already disintegrated family. This brings about fast-paced action scenes where your heart would actually skip a beat or two, especially the scenes of quake extending towards aircraft or van or limo or wherever our hero unfortunately happens to be in. Watching the action taking place on marvelously portrayed landscapes, on the big screen, will undoubtedly make your trip to theater worth the money invested. Then who cares who survives till the end and who doesn’t.
You will find flavors of emotions, when our bright researcher fights for the right of fellow earth-men and you can also empathize with the selflessness of the President, amidst all the tohubohu of natural disasters of all kinds. After going back home you may google about Earth Crust Displacement theory and mayan calendar but while inside theater you can definitely not stop yourself from lauding the remarkable display of visual effects on screen.
It seems you are overly enthusiastic about the movie hence forgot to mention the cons :-). Movie was undoubtedly good but where was the story by the way?
