A Great and Interesting Movie to See
First and foremost I saw this movie about 5 weeks ago tomorrow and this was something that interested me for several reasons -- (1) it caught my eye, (2) the Destruction of L.A. {Hint: California sinks into the Ocean -- The BIG Earthquake Prediction floating out there}, and (3) great cast of actors assembled.
Know to a post back on about 15 November 2009 from Patrick "Patrick" in New York. The Character connections were there staring you in the face. Example: The U.S. President and his daughter have a discussion over the phone where he tells her in not so many words that the younger generation must survive. Another character interaction is between Jacson Curtis (John Cusack) and Adrian Helmsley (Chiwetel Ejiofor -- "Serenity"). There are tie-ins and the like but if aren't looking as this movie unfolds then what's the point of watching this movie.
As for the prophicies about 2012 out there in the world, which were woven into this film with great care, do I think something can happen, yes. What that is, I don't know but what ever happens I will be with my family.
I do agree that there are funny scenes in this movie and the one that stood out for me was the limousine behind the 2 old ladies in their 1980's car (those 2 old ladies reminded me of the old Burger King/Wendy's commercial where one of the ladies say's "Where's the beef?"). As for the politics, greed, back door/behind the scenes dealings was something that needed to be shown in this because it is how our world operates and if anyone thinks the contrary I suggest that you open your eyes and take a good long look. Yes, movies are flights of fantasy but there has always been real world issues woven into them that gets people thinking.
Of the comments I have read about this movie, I'd swear Sisckle and Ebert were still giving 2 Thumbs Down for good movies. Why is it that when a great movie comes out people have to trash it and yet when a bad movie comes out people praise it? That is something I could not and cannot understand to this very day.
However, this movie at least for me was great and I would suggest it to others.
