If you haven't seen the end of the world thriller "2012," then hopefully this review will convince you to. I'll tell you up front that this movie is definitely worth seeing, and will be well worth you money. By the end of this article, you'll understand why. This movie, of course, is based on the prediction that the world will end in 2012. While that may be true, hopefully you'll read this article before then.
This movie follows the traditional disaster movie formula, flashing between several different characters, stunning special effects, and serious moral dilemmas that must be answered. We get to experience the lives of characters as they struggle against the impending disaster, and also as they realize there isn't a lot they can do other than accept their fate.
The movie starts out with some scientists discovering some troubling data regarding the core of the Earth. A scientist working for the United States government travels to India, where they observe some troubling indications of the impending end of the world.
As the government deals with how to handle the problem of an ending world, we see how several different characters deal with as well as the earth changing disaster slowly reveals itself to the unsuspecting public. Some of these characters will find a way to survive, while many will not.
Some of the characters that we meet are fine, upstanding and moral people that we wouldn't mind having as next door neighbors, or even in-laws. Nevertheless, we must watch as they realize that the end is near, and they must accept their fate.
The general message of the movie is that only by working together, can humanity save it self against the tide of history. Initially, the project which is developed to save only a small percentage of people is reserved only for the wealthy and the scientifically literate, in the end they make room for the common, blue collar worker. In this it is a testament to the strength of the human spirit. If you haven't seen this fine piece of film making yet, I'd recommend you put it on your list of DVDs to rent as soon as possible. - 40732
