Another 'End of the World' Movie

Rating: 6/10 (19 September 2017)

2012 was just another "Apocalypse" movie that was a stroyline off of the Mayan prophecy of the end of the world happening near the end of 2012. It was a baffling movie to me. John Kusack, was the average writer being portrayed and in the middle of what looks like a divorce with his former wife, who was hooked up with this "rich and snobby" surgeon. The movie started also with a Scientist, who came to another country and visited a friend, and discovered the truth of the temperature of the Earth starting to rise. The story takes us back to Washington DC, where the scientist demands a top official looks at the documents stating the facts. He reads it, and makes a call for his car to be out front and the scientist to go with him, next we see the United Nations, and the US president, played by a legend, Danny Glover, who inform that the world is coming to an end, and that their wasn't much time. That's when we see John Kusack, running to the kids, and proceeds to take them in a limo, to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. During the trip, while the kids and their dad are taking a walk, they cross a restricted area in Yellowstone, and a whole brigade of the U.S. Army shows up and takes them away. Throughout the entire story, we see the planet being destroyed by huge earthquakes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters, as well as the great and fatal Yellowstone Super Volcano. Every important person in the government, or children and spouses thereof, were given tickets to board huge ship vessels to survive the end of the world when it flooded. Towards the end we see, everyone fighting to get on, and a few people, sadly who I turned out to like in the end, die. The public was finally deemed freedom and safety onto the boats, just minutes before the water sweeps in and floods them, and they launch. There is so much argument and validity to this movie, it's confusing, yet gets exciting, it's emotional, yet happy in the end. There could've been a lot more done, and realistic scenes added to make this movie better.
Overall Rating: 6/10 Overall Reasons: - Confusing Story -Wasn't exactly realistic looking all around -Acting and production could've been better
