movie of the year

Rating: 9/10 (30 December 2009)

Ever wondered what the end of the world would look like? i know Roland Emmerich did. And he really knows how to bring his ideas to the big screen! the movie starts up slowly, explaining something about the heating up of the earth's core and introducing John Cusack as a not very successful writer and not very successful family man. Then events start to unfold and he has to rise up to the challenge and save his family. This movie picks up speed and never loses momentum. The only downside was the lenght of this movie. after 2,5 hours it's time to wrap things up, but this movie goes on just a bit too long. Still, this is the most impressing movie of 2009, which was a great year for movies.
