Film Challenge: Week 18
(120/365)
2012 (2009)
About: An epic adventure about a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivors.
My Thoughts: Prob the worst film I've ever seen. Pretty sure NONE of the science was right. Like ridiculously so. You can't fly in an ash cloud. California will not sink into the sea with zero tidal affect. You can't drive during an earthquake. At least not well. etc etc. The plot is shit, the characters are shit, just no. We're supposed to feel angry that the governments are only saving x number of people. Well I'm sorry but limited resources be limited. If they could save everyone they prob would. The fact is they can't. Everyone who tried to save more people was just moronic and would prob lead to the end of humanity. Secondly why are you saving so many old people and allowing people to buy a seat on the arks? You don't need people to fund your project. The world is ending. Just bankrupt your nations. Debt means fuck all post-apocalypse. JUST CAN THIS FILM ERASE ITSELF FROM HISTORY?

Puss in Boots (2011)

Get Smart (2008)
About: Maxwell Smart, Agent 86 for CONTROL, battles the forces of KAOS with the more-competent Agent 99 at his side.
My Thoughts: Most people I know who've seen this didn't like it so wasn't expecting much although I loved the TV series. Was pleasantly surprised to find I liked it. Wouldn't say I loved it and may not rewatch it but for a one time watch it was funny and has Masi Oka \o/ It's like the better version of Johnny English.

The Adventures of Tintin (2011)
About: Intrepid reporter Tintin and Captain Haddock set off on a treasure hunt for a sunken ship commanded by Haddock's ancestor.
My Thoughts: I really liked it except for the ending. It didn't seem like it was finished. I guess that's because they want sequels or I dunno. Great animation, great cast and I love Thomson and Thompson <3

Casino Royale (2006)
About: In his first mission, James Bond must stop Le Chiffre, a banker to the world's terrorist organizations, from winning a high-stakes poker tournament at Casino Royale in Montenegro.
My Thoughts: I really dislike Bond but a friend I share interests with seems to really like it so I thought I'd give it a shot. Yeah nope. So much more action than plot. Felt pointless. Each to their own though.

The Hunger Games (2012)
About: Set in a future where the Capitol selects a boy and girl from the twelve districts to fight to the death on live television, Katniss Everdeen volunteers to take her younger sister's place for the latest match.
My Thoughts: Really not sure how I felt about this film. It was pretty good but I think I would have liked it more as a series. It felt too rushed. Would have been nice to see the other character's interviews etc. Also I HATE love triangles. It wasn't shown much but still. Instantly ruined the film a bit for me.

Yes Man (2008)
About: A guy challenges himself to say "yes" to everything for an entire year.
My Thoughts: Terrible. Just no. Saying Yes to everything is a terrible, terrible idea. So is this film. Avoid.
