2012
2012 is an action movie with an apocalyptic theme. My very short review will contain a spoiler or two I don’t particularly like to talk to much about the plots of movies when I write reviews but it’s very hard to talk about the movie without talking about it’s content altogether. I can assure you it won’t effect your ‘enjoyment’ of the movie, I’m sure I won’t give away anything you don’t work out as the movie unfolds or as the case may be you’ve already worked it out before seeing it (it’s so obvious!)
It gets 5 stars (out of 10) from me purely because even though it has a stupidly and unnecessarily long run time for this kind of movie I was surprisingly not bored so I suppose I must have been entertained. As for the story itself (I’m fully aware that a plot isn’t supposed to be the point of this kind of movie but I still think it needs one!), well it’s absolute rubbish. It has no depth to it at all, it’s just an excuse for the action. Why am I supposed to care about a load of rich people who can afford to be saved and just not be bothered about the millions, sorry billions of people who die. I think they do try and make reference to this point but it’s just completely lost. When you think what happens in the movie you realize it’s probably the most depressing, pointless movie ever. Billions of people die but it’s all ok because a few thousand people have been saved, woo hoo, amazing stuff!
2012 is ok for what it is and if you are going to see it then watch it at the cinema for the big screen. I just feel the action needs more of a plot to make a good movie and I was left thinking there are much better action movies, so it’s an average effort overall.
