a5c7b9f00b Geophysicist Adrian Helmsley officially visits India's Dr. Satnam Tsurutani, his pretty wife, Aparna, and their son. From thence, he is led to the world's deepest copper mine, where he finds evidence that the Earth's crust is heating up faster than expected. He quickly collects evidence, and presents it before the President of the United States. Expecting the news to hit leading media, he is instead stunned when he learns that the powers-that-be have no intention of publicizing this catastrophe, and are intent on saving wealthy families that can shell out a billion Euros per family on four mammoth arks - without realizing that if the Earth is indeed headed for the prophetic self-destruction on 21 December 2012 - how can arks and it's wealthy inhabitants survive?
Several years before, geologist Adrian Helmsley comes across information that shows the world will come to an end in 2012. No announcement is made but the G8 countries begin to prepare for the event. Jack Curtis is a divorced and a less than successful writer. While on a camping trip with his children in Yosemite, he meets Charlie Frost, who is preaching that the end of the world is at hand. A series of events leads Curtis to believe what Frost has told him and with his family, heads for China where the industrialized countries have been working on a response to the impending disaster.
I'm going to start with the good things about this movie. It had great effects and a strong surrounding of what is going on to the earth.<br/><br/>But there are a lot of bad ideas for the story. The beginning of the movie is such a great start the rest of the movie is draw out and boring after watching the beginning of the movie. Another thing there is a lot of theories on the world will end on 2012 but just stick to the main Mayan theory they were the first to come up with the idea.<br/><br/>Over all I would suggest to at least give it a chance some people like movies (that sucks) while other people don't. In the end I would say go rent it at least.
Knowing fully well that this was Emmerich project, I expected nothing more than a good old disaster flick and that is what this movie offers.<br/><br/>Of course, with the rise of CGI in the last decade or so, most viewers are now accustomed to scenes of epic devastation, and with 2012, we get the impression the writers tried to up the ante once again with the disaster aspect. <br/><br/>We get a mix of stuff we've seen in other movies, suchmonster earthquakes, massive volcanoes and giganormous tsunamis. Protagonists do impossible stunts in airplanes, in cars and even underwater. Entire cities are wiped out. The whole thing is quite fun in that respect. <br/><br/>The actual story? The characters? It's all very typical for that type of Hollywood entertainment. Ordinary people, scientists, politicians are all featured. You've got your typical "good guys" trying their best to survive and some "bad guys" showing traits suchgreed and selfishness. Along the way, some characters live, other dies. Most get a chance to say the typical "hollywood goodbyes" and some even redeem themselves before they die.<br/><br/>Emmerich never lets you dwell too long on the characters, or what it means for the worldwe know it to come to an end. It might be seena shame but that's par for the course in that type of movie. <br/><br/>I'll give it an honest five. I think it does a good job at entertaining. But if you are looking for an intense drama, or to see the laws of physics or reality carefully applied, this is not the film to watch. What you get here is a very good bunch of actors doing a good (not great) job in a CGI-heavy movie. You get a story that covers all the bases, but doesn't do anything brilliantly. <br/><br/>In short, decent entertainment, if you are entertained by this sort of film.
For visual noise by the ton, Emmerich is my kind of hack, the pluperfect blend of leaden self-seriousness and accidental-on-purpose self-satirist.
December 21st, 2012 marks the ending of the 13th b'ak'tun cycle of the Mayan Long Count Calendar, and it's also the last cycle of the Long Count. The Mayan Calendar ends December 21st, 2012. The 2012 Doomsday belief suggests that the Mayans foretold the end of the world at this time and, since the world is ending, there's no need to continue counting days or making calendars past that point. While that date would have had significance to the Mayans, there's no proof they actually believed the world would cease to exist. The ending of one calendar would start a new calendar, similar to how the current year ends on December 31st, but a new year is made at the same time. Some news articles published in the months leading up to December 21st, 2010, finally called into question the validity of the Mayan Calendar, stating that the end date of the calendar is recalculated to bypass December 2012 or that it had already passed. Director Roland Emmerich is known for his disaster films full of moments of comic relief. 2012 has a bit of comedy in it, but the majority of the movie is serious and sometimes quite emotional and dramatic. The scientists in the film state that the end of the world has started earlier than predicted; most likely during the summer period of 2012 and not winter,newscaster dialog announces that the XXX Olympic Summer Games (to be held in London from the 27th July to the 12th August, 2012) have been suspended in the movie. Since the movie is about the end of the world, the majority of the world's population die, but many of the main characters survive. It has been mentioned that 100,000 people would be on each ark, plus some 10,000 Chinese workers. There are three of these ships in total, meaning that around 310,000 people survived. No. It's impersonator <a href="/name/nm3636991/">Lyndall Grant</a> playing the part of Governor Schwarzenegger and reading his dialog for comic effect. President Thomas Wilson (<a href="/name/nm0000418/">Danny Glover</a>) decides to stay behind while his staff boards Air Force One to escape the upcoming natural disasters. When a large earthquake strikes the nation's capital, the President, along with many others, is helping wounded citizens on the front lawn of the White House & everyone is knocked to the ground. After the President picks himself up, he sees a large tsunami carrying a aircraft carrier hurdling towards him. The scene endsthe wave and the carrier (ironically named the USS John F Kennedy CV-67) crash into the White House. Not really but Jackson (<a href="/name/nm0000131/">John Cusack</a>) is probably meant to, in a minor way, symbolize Christ. Jackson's initials are J.C., and there are biblical references, suchhis son being called Noah, and the arks are to help during the flood. He also leads a group of people away from danger to safety, which is a slight parallel to Jesus leading his followers to a new faith in God, etc. 2012 is based on a spec script (speculative script) co-written by director Roland Emmerich & co-producer Harald Kloser, indicating in the the end credits that the film was "inspired in part" by the book Fingerprints of the Gods by Graham Hancock. The film borrows several themes and elements from Jules Verne's rarely known novelette "The Eternal Adam", which shows a distant future archaeologist called Sofr-Ai-Sr, who belongs to a completely different civilization from ours called Hars-Iten-Schu, and someday finds a manuscript inside an aluminum box, narrating how in May 24th, 2XXX, a limousine driver called Modesto Simonet, his scientific boss (who wrote the manuscript), other scientifics on a vacation, and several other notable men and their families in Rosario, Mexico, survived a sudden flooding from the Atlantic Ocean by the heroic act of Simonet, who drove a carfasthe could towards the mountains. In a matter of hours, the whole American Continent sinks in the ocean, except for the small island that used to be a mountain. They are rescued by a cargo ship, and they wander in a futile search for land anywhere else, only to discover that the tiny island was growing every time they passed by. The manuscript author ponders on the fate of Atlantis, and points a parallel with his situation. This old document leads Sofr to think that his civilization is descendant from those survivors after a period of mass involution of the human race, and that they survived thanks to a whole new continent that raised from the bottom of what used to be the Pacific Ocean for the survivors, and for Sofr is the only existing continent. Also, Sofr theorizes that is imminent that another global flooding happens someday. While the movie is far from an adapted work, a small credit would have been used instead of that of Graham Hancock, given the obvious allusions, but the reason why it wasn't the case is not known by the public. The world was either not given enough time to finish them or there wasn't enough money to build them without drawing attention and causing panic. Also, the Captain of the main cruiser tells Anheuser that one of the other ships developed a technical malfunction and possibly can't be used during the evacuation.
