I have been reeling under pressure of either removing my previous post or writing one more over it to change the face of my blog as my previous post was under the scanner of 'report abuse'. Well, submitting under pressure (Which I always do), I opted to change the face of my blog by adding another post (Face Off kinds!!).
There is a draught of good movies for the past year or so and the mankind has been forced to live on the evergreen classics, which honestly dont seem evergreen after you watch them 5 times in a month. One weekend, we hit the theatres with the hope of watching one decent movie to rest in peace for sometime. It is similar to farmers waiting for the rain - a thirst that hasnt been quenched. I also believe that folks who traumautize viewers by making trash in the name of movie should be awarded capital punishment for dashing their hopes.
Number 1 rule before watching a movie - Never trust the trailers;
2012 had great trailers with bridges collapsing, literally ground breaking scenes, Vehicles flying off the roads and many more. Seemed to the right ingredient for a person who has starved for a year for a decent movie. (Say anything - Thats what guys look for in a movie).
The movie should have been made with the patronage to the Nostro predictions. Global wariming - earth's centre heating up to level where you can create get an omlette done in .000001 nano seconds, earth's crust giving in...relate these and make sense...Cant explain to you more than this. And for some strange reason, China is the last place to get affected and the human race builds back up ships that look like a giant bus...And some survive to see the sun and hence the human race continues its existence - Thats the story in short.
John Cusack (Pardon my spelling) does a decent job, but still lacks to bring in any kind of excitement. The rest of the cast is sore and sad. Typical charecters found in any 'Judgement day movie'. A responsible president trying to save the world, a love story in crisis - Standard ingredients of a chapter of calamities. Though the story is backed by some reasoning, it fails to deliver the punch and you are left wanting to hear some good dialogues atleast to keep you slouched in your seat, forget the edge of it.
At the end of the movie, you are fairly exasperated waiting for the end and your nails seem to be impact as well. Dont know whether Nostro's predictions are true, but we already have a disaster in the name of 2012.

true movie lacked any substance, infact in my opinion all diaster movies lack a story line except maybe Titanic and ah... the fact is i dont enjoy diaster movies.... but then i saw this one and though i liked the way buildings were destroyed initially, it got to my nerve after a while and i was hoping one such tornado, earth quake or Tsunami kills John Cusack and the movie is over by interval
