Roland Emmerich has tried everything to get this world rid of humans. Earlier he unleashed aliens who were using Alien edition of Windows on their mother ship which could’ve been infected by a Mac. Then he came up with Godzilla which created great havoc and leaving an egg in the end which is yet to be hatched. Then came the global warming in The Day After Tomorrow which ‘iced’ most of the American continent. Now he’s back with another attempt at destroying the world (pun intended) with 2012.
After reading shitty reviews about it, we went to the hall having very little expectations from the movie. In fact we only went to watch the world getting destroyed on big screen. The movie started briskly with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s Afreen Afreen being played in background and some supposedly Indian scientist trying their best at Hindi. Slowly the movie created its plot on how we are going to die and then it all started.
I wont talk about the story (everyone knows it anyway) (or the lack of it) but if you are a fan of CG, this movie is for you. There are some great scenes in the movie which kept us occupied throughout. There was a couple sitting in corner seat and even they were watching the movie (lets not get into this talk now 😀 ). I never felt bored and enjoyed the movie except for the scene where they abandon a princely Bentley (how could they do this) and continue their journey on foot. It was fun to see the director trying to use  ‘Made in China’ Noah’s ships to save the humankind. We all know about chinese product being cheaply available but not having any warranty .. 😀 .
So all in all, don’t go by others perception of this movie. If you liked previous movies of this director, you’ll really enjoy it. I loved it.
In the first line change ‘he to ‘the’ and nobody cares if your puns are intended or not – http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=puns 😛 ..i might watch this movie sometime ..sounds nice ..but then i can’t trust you because you also like George Michael :p
I dont see any ‘he’ in first line ?
Lol @ Puns .. 😀 😀 😀 ..
About George Michael 😛 .. Abay even you listen to Atif .. 😛 And thats why I wrote that line about if you liked previous movies like Independence Day , Godzilla, you’ll like it ..
Oh yeah, that’d be he only. I was somehow confused and thought it should be “Earlier THE unleashed aliens”..
By liking this movie, you’ve lost all credibility, Bat. :p Never shall I trust anything you say about anything again!
Well, Movie was really good and we enjoyed it fully. At least better than the crap movies I have watched these daies.
But about the corner seat, how you are so sure that they were “only” watching the movie? I was sitting more closer to them, remember :)?
Anyways, I hope these crazy directors should destroy us more often so that we can enjoy it on big screen !!!
I think the SFX alone make it worth watching it on the big screen. You can forget the other shortcomings and watch the amazing graphics.
Bahhaa .. Whatever .. I liked the movie .. 😀
Your blog has wit & wisdom ! Loved it !
