2012 Movie Review
Okay, so I am going to post it on here, because I love it and it is just amazing. I may or may or may not post my "Most Awesomest Story Ever. No really, it is." Because, that is just a tiny bit offensive.
2012 Movie Review- 4/5 stars
I only saw the movie 2012 because there was going to be an Adam Lambert song in it. I thought it also looked kind of cool, so it would be fun to check it out. I was disappointed. The song was in the credits.
The movie centers on the theme that the world is ending for no apparent reason. It follows a normal family while they try and get past the evil ending world things. The movie starts off in the year 2009. These people are in India and something is wrong. Some guy needs ice for his feet, because he burnt them somehow. Then it goes to other parts of the world, and leads up to the year 2012. That takes about seven minutes. It’s rather confusing. We see the president of the United States, and I thought he was Obama. Turns out he wasn’t. I have no idea who he actually turned out to be because I don’t think they ever called him by his name. He has a daughter who’s about 20, and her name is Laura (Laurie?). There is also this other guy who is really important and his name is Adrian. Well, it starts with an “A.”
When the movie gets to the year 2012, we meet the main character: Noah Cusack. Except that’s not his name. It’s something like Jackson...or maybe Tom. He is late to something and he goes and gets his kids to go on a camping trip. He has an ex-wife and I have no idea what her name was. She has a boyfriend, and his name is Gordon. He is cool. The kid’s names are Noah and Lily. Noah is about 10, and he is obsessed with Gordon. Lily is seven and she has some sort of hat fetish. Anyway, they go on this camping trip to Yellowstone.
Noah is not being very nice to his father. He really likes Gordon. They get to the park, and the lake turned into some steam thing. They are watched by some creepy pervert who calls them ‘subjects’ and I have no idea why. Then the army comes in, which reminded me of that line “him and what army.” They take Tom, Lily, and Noah away to their camp and they tell him he has to leave. They say that the ground is unstable and that something bad is going to happen. ‘They’ being that Adrian guy who somehow got to Yellowstone. Oh, and Tom wrote a book that no one read. That’s important.
The family goes back to their car and camps. Then Tom has to go talk to the creepy pervert whose name is Charlie. Charlie tells him about some ships or something, and Tom believes him. The ships save people, I think. Then Charlie asks him if he wants a pickle and Tom says no and takes a beer instead. He goes back to the tent and goes on his computer. Noah has a phone, even though he’s only nine! And Tom gets mad and takes it away and says his feelings were hurt.
Then we flash over to California where Tom’s ex-wife is in the supermarket with Gordon. The supermarket breaks in half so she calls Noah and tells him to come home. Tom takes them home. While he’s driving to work, he has some sort of epiphany and decides he has to get everyone out. So we see that scene in the trailer with all the buildings falling over and him driving really fast. The special effects in this movie are excellent. They were a bit overdone, with all the buildings falling, and cars crashing, and California falling into the ocean, but I enjoyed it.
Then after a couple of wicked car maneuvers, they get to the airport and fly away. During this whole scene we have dramatic music. They go to Yellowstone to get some map from creepy pervert dude, and it blows up. The rest of the movie is exciting dramatic things, which is actually quite good. Watch out for the fat guy with the accent. I enjoy his family’s accents.
The best parts of the movie were toward the end, so I won’t say anything about that. I also enjoyed a scene in the middle with the creepy rapist guy. You couldn’t go one scene without a car flying through the air. Those cars were very agile. I wish we had one.
There were a couple of things that annoyed me as I watched this movie. One thing is, they would show us these people you just have to love, and then kill them. Second, this movie was really confusing at points, and rather disgusting at others. The last thing is that it turns into a freaking love story. I don’t even know how you can do that, but it does! I was not in the mood for a love story, thanks. If I want sappiness, I’ll go rent Twilight.
I gave the movie 4 stars out of 5 because it had excellent suspense scenes. The special effects were amazing, and you really felt for the people. Most of the movie I was saying “Oh…” and there were points near the end where I was biting my nails. Overall, it was a good movie, and I highly recommend it before you allow yourself to view the horror which they will call “New Moon."
In other news, I think I may be failing Latin. It doesn't help that it is at the end of the day, and therefor I am very hyper. Or that I love to talk. Ah well, I am pretty sure my teacher is rather annoyed at me by this time. I have decided that I am going to be quiet for a whole month, and see how she likes THAT. Haha. Except that I am sure she will like it, so that would be a problem. But since I am the ONLY ONE who ever participates in class, you would think she would put up with me.
And I hate chorus and would like to quit. Except mother dearest won't "allow" me to. She likes hearing (and this is quoted) "the other chorus's." Meaning not mine. Well. Thanks mom.
