OK, so most people know that disaster films tend to suck right? Well I walked into the theater expecting nothing but special effects and death but fortunately came out happier than I expected.
In "2012" a father and his kids take a trip together to Yellowstone National Park(which is rumored to soon blow up). At the same time, it just so happens that the Earth's crust is breaking apart and people fear that the apocalypse is at hand. Because of this the government tries to devise a plan to keep everyone safe from harm by building giant ships that can hold hundreds of people and animals. Meanwhile, while the government is sorting out their plan, the innocent family at Yellowstone starts to witness signs of the destruction. This then leads to a number of disaster sequences that include thousands of people dieing and countless cities getting destroyed.
Now of course the special effects were sweet and were basically what made up the film. Other things I wasn't expecting included good acting, comedy, and heart. Sacrifice is immense in "2012". One of the not so swell aspects included the cheesy dialogue and situations. For example, the main character is in a RV that is about to plummet down deep into the Earth but at the last second...we see him crawl out of the giant crevice with no harm done. Bottom line, "2012" is probably worth seeing if you want a fun filled action film with kick-butt CGI. 2 stars out of 4.
