That was the best disaster movie I have ever watched

Rating: 8/10 (7 January 2019)

The producers clearly tried to use the 2012 hype caused by an interpretation of the Mayan calendar. To be honest I do not think that the characters are portrayed in a sophisticated manner, or the acting is wonderful. Their reactions to the events could be a little bit more genuine and some drama involving human interactions could be added.
But the film is very good at its main subject, which is the natural disaster. The story about the disaster and reactions of institutions are well described. Increase of count of neutrinos overheating the molten core may not receive a high grade in a science project but it is a nice detail for a movie storyline. Visuals and imagery, and engineering feats were also very nice.
In short it is not a movie to see overacting actors and actresses with the aim of getting the academy awards, but a very fine action movie about a natural disaster.
