So the world ends again!

Rating: 4/10 (28 July 2010)

2012 was an OK film for someone not paying a lot of attention to it, because you won't get lost in scene changes. This film was an absolute waste of a good title for what could have been an incredible action drama. John Cusack should rethink his roles in movies and what films he picks to star in. The most gripping part of the entire film was the plane flight to China when you were in suspense not knowing what would happen. The effects were decent and the sets were exceptionally made. The film had all the good eye candy you would expect from a film about the end of the world. It was not so horrible I wouldn't watch it again, but if I did I think I would take it as more of a comedy, action drama twist without any good comedy. The world ending by a flood is old news and if that's what I wanted to hear about or see a reenactment of it I would go to a Sunday school play. It would be more gripping than this movie was. All in all it was mediocre and could have used more suspense and less Sci-Fi effects at the end. The whole 2012 concept would lead one to believe the film was going to relate to the Mayan calendar and that the world was going to end because of a reason only the Mayans knew of and was never reviled. This is why their calendar ended in 2012. If you are going to name a movie after a fictional or yet to be proved prophecy, at least make it interesting enough to capture the viewer, and trying to convince them this may be how it happens if, it ever does happen. The concept of the end of the world should at least somewhat relate to science and religion in the current state of mind and not in the old state of thinking. Noah already survived a flood and repopulated the world; this story line is old news even with cool effects and explosions.
