Gerry Barnaby's Film Review: 2012 (2009)

Genre: Action Adventure Drama, contains extreme violent earthquakes & people dieing

Cert: 15 cert

Story: Disaster movie maven Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow) crafts this apocalyptic sci-fi thriller following the prophecy stated by the ancient Mayan calendar, which says that the world will come to an end on December 21, 2012. When a global cataclysm thrusts the world into chaos, divorced writer and father Jackson Curtis (John Cusack) joins the race to ensure that humankind is not completely wiped out

Likes : This film to me is one of the biggest & most realistic disaster movie of all time,it is in fact the most scariest Ive ever seen as in the fact i could happen this way.John Cusack plays Jackson Curtis a divorced father of 2 who a book writer struggle to get family to safety after the shit hit the fan as everything starts falling apart.Chiwetel Ejiofor Adrian Helmsley & Jimi Mistry Dr. Satnam Tsurutani both discover that the earth mantel has heated to the point that the earth crust is melting & shifting but to do this the earth we go in to an apocalyptic advent that will destroy every living life on the planet.Oliver Platt plays the government agent that has to give the news to the President Thomas Wilson played by Danny Glover & he's daughter Laura Wilson played by Thandie Newton. The thing about this film that really emotion is the fact of all the people you see dieing & scream really hits the nerve as all hell breaks loss,along with the special effect of volcanoes,tsunamis,the city ground giving away beneath them make this the most scariest disaster movie of all time.To me this is scary because of two reason the fact that it could happen & the fact that we are in 2012 now & the frightening through that something could happen is drawing near as it only 8 months left if this is really going to happen.this film in a nut shell put a seriously cold chill down my spin.

Dislikes : only one thing is the fact of the arks that were built serious,this would never happen because it would be built in time because lets be realistic no one believe it would happen but if it did happen no one will have a chance if it happen like it dose in the this film.

Overall :  A fantastic disaster movie, one of the best disaster movie to be brought out, action, horror,adventure with some disburding scenes,2012 has to one of the most scary disasters movie of our time.

Rating: 5 out of 5 for storyline, 10 out of 10 for being the most scareiest & best disaster movies of all time.

  1. Completely agree with you - the building of the arcs was too far fetched however it is extremely intense (especially when I saw it in the cinema).
    It's an entertaining watch.
