2012 Review

2012 is an action movie about the end of the world. It runs 158 minutes, is rated PG-13, and was released in 2009. It stars John Cussack as Jackson Curtis, a divorced and struggling writer. The plot follows him as he and his family get caught in the impending destruction of the world as we know it. While camping at Yellowstone, Jackson enters a restricted area and discovers a lake he knew as a kid was dried up. Eventually he begins piecing together information to help save his family.

This movie was a decent movie. It had amazing special effects throughout the movie. My favorite scene in the movie is when Jackson and his family meet a Russian with a AC-130 cargo plane. They begin to fly out of the city they are in as a giant ash cloud begins hurdling at them. They manage to fly out of the city as it splits down the seems, causing the buildings to crumble and fall down a giant chasm. There are parts in the movie where the graphics are horrible, such as the limo scene. The beginning was also very slow and boring with little action. I would recommend this movie as a rental.
