A thrill ride for sure

Rating: Null/10 (15 November 2009)

Newsflash-the Earths core is already molten-well, other than that, the film works OK...in fact the visual effects surpass any other film I have ever seen in terms of sheer scope and immensity-it is truly something incredible to see-perhaps even mind blowing. The plot is well constructed and the acting is excellent so that definitely helps along the end of the world scenario put forth in this here flick. Funny that despite the fact this was a significant movie event for most film goers there were still people in the audience huffing and hawing through the film, texting as much as eight times in succession creating annoying bright lights coming from somewhere in front type of thing-which surprised me a bit. Also funny-I think-was the way NASA goes on CNN saying that the movie is not based on real science re its 2012 date for the end if things, when the Mayan calendar does in fact end at 2012...I think that NASA recently also saying that they feel there is water on the moon does not help their credibility all that much-well, I know I think that the moon is waterless, despite NASA saying the contrary. There is nothing like silly science to make a day complete. I was impressed by this film but I don't believe that the Mayans were more knowledgeable about the Erarth than modern man in general. I seriously doubt if anyone believes that Earth will cease to be in 2012-the film is just good fun, and worth a look, to me.
