A simple plot story with action beyond comprehension

Rating: 7/10 (21 December 2009)

Here goes nothing.
Me and my family had awaited so long for this movie since the first trailer had come out. My parents don't watch a lot of Hollywood films, but this one they watched in theatres. Basically what I am saying is that the whole world coming to an end doesn't need a plot or character, or character development; it just needs special effects, and thats exactly what your getting, and a lot of it.
When I first heard it had a weak script I thought it really sucked, but the script wasn't too bad. Its the fact that they constantly survive catastrophic events which probably would reduce their chances of survival to a minimum. However this concept of the Mayan calendar is ever so interesting. You would need to research more about it, because almost none was given in the movie, except for a cheap animation recorded from a computer monitor.
Basically if you want to watch a nice movie to scare your girlfriend and wrap your arms around her, this one is for you, and be prepared to be shocked.
