2012

Director Roland Emmerich does it again with his epic-styled movies. This time, he brings audience on an adventure of what the last day on earth would be like.
The CGI effects were passable, the plot was predictable. But I applaud the movie makers for gathering scientific findings about armageddon, then create an apocalyptic event that is based on possible seismic activity. They then amplified the results which is realistically possible, drawing you into a stillness of terror, to see and experience what can happen in less than 3 years' time.

In the course of survival, we observed how unfeeling mankind can become but there is also contrast where gleam of kindness can be found amongst the chaos.
Perhaps you might notice it is not the brightest or richest who secures a place of survival, it is those who are godly favored by unexplainable good timing and probably fate.

You could be at the edge of your seat a few times from adrenalin rushing scenes of caving grounds and narrow escapes, some even included aeronautical feel. I won't be surprise if you were able to engage with some of the characters, frustration, regrets, love and hope.

They even managed to squeeze in family drama in this lengthy action flick. You might leave the theater feeling what hit you and if you live to see your grand kids.
