2012 * *

This one comes from the makers of 10,000 BC,The day after tomorrow,Godzilla and Independence day. 2012 is just another episode of the quest the director Roland Emmerich is on and which is to destroy the earth.He is so keen to figure out how the end will be and has tried near half a dozen ways it could be done and I have no doubt that he is currently working on the rest half a dozen.

This time Roland uses the famous and feared prophecy that the world will be destroyed and the human race will end on 21st of December, 2012.This is a known theory since long and even many scientists fear the phenomenon as it is related to the position of earth at that particular time resulting in deadly earthquakes and tsunamis. In the flick too all the nations get together fearing the possibility of it actually taking place and start a secret mission to save the human race by building ships that can survive the impact on doomsday.As the story unfolds, it comes out that the program was developed only for the rich and the powerful.

The whole plot moves around a broken family which eventually unites at the end courtesy the marathon massacre of the human race.The visual effects are spectacular and brilliantly thought of.A very fast moving screenplay which keeps you on the edge of your seat all the time.Some of the scenes are really worth a watch on a big screen.No fun watching them on your laptop for sure.The mass destruction and holocaust depiction almost looks real and makes you think for a while that the theatre you are seating in might as well go down any second now.

Talking about the lows, to some people who follow Roland might actually see 2012 as a medley of his previous world destroying attempts.It seems he just copied a few scenes from each one, edited it nicely and Tada ....2012.But still it is way better to spend money on this rather than watching Saifeena in action in the remake of New York.Witness the stuff in advance as you might not be able to see the whole stuff when this actually happens.No offense but 2012 is yet to come.
