2012 - Roland Emmerich's latest end-of-the-world bonanza. Watched the damn thing a few days ago. Bloody hell, what possessed me to do that? Well, just let me recap for a sec. I did enjoy The Day After Tomorrow and most of Emmerich's mindless blockbuster movies (always remember to leave the brain out the door for those), but this is a bit different. The plot is almost sub-mental and really not worth even the slightest bit of anyone's attention. You know, it's a classic big-budget crapfest, fresh from the Hollywood machinery of retardness. Okay, maybe I'm being a bit harsh here. I did actually like some aspects of the movie. The humor (although pretty basic) works in nearly every scene it was used in and I like the cast - particularly the lead, played by J. Cusack, and the cynical politically cold Chief of Staff (Oliver Platt). The special effects are what makes this movie stand out. They are nothing short of spectacular. Seriously guys, the scenes of massive destruction are worth checking out on the big screen. Beyond that, there's not a lot to see. But then, what would you expect of Emmerich and a predictably superficial disaster movie.
