Synopsis: Never before has a date in history been so significant to so many cultures, so many religions, scientists, and governments. A global cataclysm brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivors.
Starring: John Cusack, Chjwetel Ejiofor, Amanda Peet, Oliver Platt
Directed by: Roland Emmerich
U.S. Rating: PG-13
I don't know if someone else noticed a huge similarity between 2012 and The Day After Tomorrow. I know both movies have been directed by Rolan Emmerich, but the plot about the group of scientists who have been trying to warn governments and people about the possible natural apocalypse that is about to happen due to global warming and they're not being heard, then something happens and we're at the very edge of global destruction and death and the lead scientist is taken to talk directly to the president of the U.S. even though it might be too late. Both stories face this same similarity, but being honest, both movies had their own amazing CGI effects and unique plot. 2012 offers not just a pretty entertaining plot, maybe not too credible or too real, but really entertaining! It doesn't matter if you're not into these kind of plots, what I totally believe is that the amazing CGI effects makes this movie SO worth to watch. Some events happen in this film (let's call them subplots) that leave people a bit confused, since they don't seem to be related with the story, but we can get at least, part of the response to these events at the end of the film (ex: The guy who's killed in Paris, after replacing some fine art in the Louvre). Definitely one of the greatest movie this year, mainly for the action and intense suspense involved in all the destruction and CGI effects.
What did I like from this movie?
1. No doubt that the best thing offered in this movie is the huge amount of amazing and professional CGI work, especially during the destruction scenes. For example, the destruction at the Yellowstone Park, at the Vegas - Nevada Airport, at the supermarket, Brazil and the moment when they're inside the ships
2. Woody Harrelson's role was perfect for him. A weird role for a weird man, the perfect match! So hilarious!
3. The intense suspense and emotions offered throughout all the destruction and situations that John Cusack has to face with his family to be safe and survive to these natural events
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. there were few crazy and nonsense situations. For example, how can you talk by a mobile phone at the end of the movie when everything is destroyed around the world, including communication towers (when the Indian scientist calls John Cusack to tell him that noone went to pick them up) !
2. Besides Bentley, I believe that Converse was one of the marketing supporters of this movie. So funny to see the monks at the end of the movie, when they're leaving the ships, walking with Converse shoes... all of them!
I would rate this movie with a 4/5

I LOVED this movie! It was sooo intense the whole time. I really liked it.
I have no doubt about it! It was so intense that it took you to the point where you pinched me in the arm a couple of times!
