2012

I expected another Day After Tomorrow when I heard that director Roland Emmerich was involved with this project. His best movie to date is Independence Day which was 13 years ago. Since then he has tried to match I.D. and with 2012 I feel that he is back in rare form.
Ensure that you go to the bathroom and get plenty of popcorn because 2012 is a fun, roller coaster adventure that last 2 hrs and 30+ minutes. The story is about a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivors. If you are analytical, take a break and enjoy the ride. There are many holes in the story but IT'S AN END OF THE WORLD MOVIE.
The movie is perfectly cast with stars on the rise, Chiwetel Ejiofor, as well as stars that have had past success, Danny Glover and George Segal. Roland did his review of past Disaster movies such as Poseidon Adventure and included a cast of diverse characters that are very entertaining.
There are many superior visual effects that will not disappoint. I was very surprised that this disaster movie turned out to be the best one of the year. (remember Knowing & the remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still)

Verdict: A very good summer movie for the holidays. Who would have thought John Cusack could carry a hit movie?! Makes you want to rent the last hit movie he was in, 1997’s Con Air.
