I watched 2012 last week. When I first heard of the film, I wasn't really too keen on watching it. Not another disaster movie! It's too depressing! Then I found out who's involved in it.
I've been a huge fan of Johan Cusack for a while now so I figured it was definitely worth watching. Further I was intrigued since it was not usually the sort of genre that John gets involved in. A lot of other recognisable names are also in it - Danny Glover, Amanda Peet, Thandie Newton, Woody Harrelson, Oliver Platt, Chiwetel Ejiofor. Okay I confess I had no clue who the last one was though he looked so familiar. =D
I admit it's scary in a lot of parts though not as scary a I'd expected it to be. The special effects were amazing as well but what is most prevalent is the profound sense of sadness since there was literally nothing that could be done to avert the disaster or get to safety. I couldn't help shedding a few tears as people congregate in collective prayers and in solidarity as they wait the inevitable yet still hope for the best; those that are not able to get to safety anyway and I assure you, only an exclusive few are able to do this. Have a few billions to spare?
Definitely worth watching as long as you brace yourself. It does leave one with a great sense of mortality.
And hey check out the little bonus I got right outside the hall where the film was being shown. Now isn't that just a sight for sore eyes! =)
