Great entertainment with "2012"

In case you don't know, according to the Mayas, the end of the world is expected to be on December 21st 2012... but Hollywood couldn't wait that long to make the movie.

After all kinds of disaster movies with volcanos, tornados, tsunamis, earthquakes and snow storms, now we have the ultimate disaster movie, a cocktail of disasters, served with a roller coaster of special effects.

I enjoyed this movie. Of course it's another popcorn movie, but this is one appealing. I was very curious about the end of this movie, because the world is supposed to be "the end of the end".

After the latest doomsday movies like "Knowing" (with Nicolas Cage) and "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (with Keanu Reaves), I must vote for John Cusack in "2012". Not that his performance is that great, but the movie is really entertaining.

After destroying the planet (or the USA) with "The Day After Tomorrow", "Godzilla" or "Independence Day", director Roland Emmerich delivers the ultimate destruction movie. What can he destroy after "2012"? The galaxy? :-P

Even the special effects are great. The teams behind this extravaganza scored really high. A good example how you can still have a great action movie without using this new 3D trend! ;-)

I recommend you to watch this one on the big screen, with or without popcorns. It's almost a 3h movie but it's worth it. This movie serves what it promises: great entertainment! ;-)

A good movie for a Friday 13th like today! eheheh
Get ready for the end!

Do you think that Roland Emmerich is able to direct a movie whitout all those special effects? Mmmmm, I wonder...
Still, I guess this can be a good cinema experience, although I'm a bit tired of seeing our planet being destroyed...
