Roland Emmerich clearly had fun making it. As we did watching it.

Rating: 10/10 (15 November 2009)

Director Roland Emmerich returns with his newest film, 2012. Emmerich clearly has fun destroying the world. He did it in Godzilla, The Day after tomorrow, Independence day, Do i really need to go on? Every year I go to the movies for my birthday. Lasy year I saw Quantum of solace and really liked it. This year I saw 2012, the best disaster film I have seen in a long, long time. There have been some real crap ones too. Like Godzilla, if you call Transformers 2 one, then it is, and The day the earth stood still was one too. I was intrigued by every minute of 2012. The special effects in this movie were great. There are a lot of good actors in this, the plot is believable also, and this movie is a ton of fun.
The film mostly revolves around an author named Jackson Curtis(Played by John Cusack). Fpor years, the world has been predicting that the world was going to end in 2012. Because that is the end of the Mayan calendar. As I said, the film revolves around Jackson Curtis. When him and his kids go to Yellostone park he meets a wacko(played by Woody Harrelson) who is talking about this stuff about the apocalypse and other stuff.
Soon, this wacko's predictions come true. And Jackson, his kids, his ex-wife(Amanda Peet), and her new husband set off to escape the destruction including volcanoes, floods, and earthquakes. They are trying to get to China, where the government(including Chiwetel Ejiofor, Oliver Platt) and the president's daughter(Thandie Newton) and others are there, and there are these indestructible ships that could save everyone.
This may sound completely unprofessional for me to say this. But this is one of the best films of the year. I did not see a problem with this film. Critics are hating it though. Richard Roeper gave it 1 star out of 5 saying that it is the stupidest film of the year. But I had a good time with this movie I think he is dead wrong.
I was a big fan of this years Knowing, and that is also one of the best films of the year. Both of these films had great special effects and were a lot of fun. I am hoping that the world doesn't end in three years. This movie scared me shitless. And it will do the same to you. This could probably be the biggest disaster film of them all. And the best in a long time.
