2012 The Movie Options

[Oscar]

I personally have always loved the "world ending" movies! They're very exciting and keep me on the edge of my seat. I guess it's kind of interesting to see how many ways the world can end. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) Aliens, weather, the sun's solar wind, and now some random world catastrophe due to the Mayan calendar predicting the end.

So, anybody excited for 2012? Comes out November 13th. Though I think the actors are kind of weird...

It was unbelievable rubbish. So the story is some bad writer and his kids come across this secret goverment site, where they befriend an official who just happened to have been one of the few hundred people to have read his book and is a crazy fan of his. And then they discover this random stoner hippy whose friend just somehow mananged to single handedly discover and chart a top secret government plot to build ships to escape the end of the world, which they somehow knew about before it had been discovered by the official's best friend in India. And then there's volcanoes and sh*t everywhere - the writer guy somehow manages to dodge each one in the nick of time, climbing out of a massive crack in the earth somehow after retrieving the hippy guy's map just in time to be rescued. Because the writer's ex wife's boyfriend had taken one flying lesson once, and then they all found a plane conveniently, and he was somehow able to maneuvre the plane through collapsing skyscrapers and stuff, and the group drives a car through buildings which are collapsing, and they just manage to escape getting crushed by the fraction of a second. And this kind of thing happens like fifteen times. And then the guy with one flying lesson flies a massive russian jet with some oligarch guy who the family happened to meet up with, and they land in Tibet just in time to sneak on board this massive ship that the government had secretly made to escape the end of the world. Oh, and the ex wifes boyfriend is crushed to death and nobody notices. And the writer guy somehow is able to just survive spending like 10 minutes underwater fixing this jam, saving everyone, along with his seven year old son.
The best moment of the film was when they said the American and Italian presidents had nobly given up their positions on the magic boat, the Italian president having elected to stay and pray. So they're saying Berlusconi would be the one to give up his place out of all the world leaders. I was in stiches at that bit.
It's a pathetic film, I want my £5 back.
