MAYAN 2012 CALENDAR PROPHECIES

This apocalyptic movie 2012 depicting the end of days from the Mayan Calendar, when the end of the world is predicted on the date December 21, 2012 is sure to thrill those who enjoy special effects and lots of visual stimulations.

Of the two main characters in the movie, one is Jackson Curtis played by John Cusack as a failed writer and over protective dad who just wants to save his family from imminent death and will do anything to do just that.

The other is Adrian Helmsley played by Chiwetel Ejiofor is a geologist who advises the white house, shows his love of humanity by trying to save as many people as he can.

In 2012, the President of the United States played by Danny Glover, shows a surprisingly human side for a politician when he refuses to leave his country and people and stays behind to warn everyone that the end is near so they can have time to say goodbye to their loved ones.

The 2012 movie is opened by Adrian and some of his scientist friends in India have discovered that the centre of the earth is heating up causing the earth’s crust to separate, forming fractures in the earth and multiple earthquakes.

There are many great special effects depicting major earthquakes, sink holes, volcanoes, fire bombs, floods, tsunamis, collapsing buildings, planes etc to hold the audience attention.  Seeing the people fall from the collapsing buildings gave one’s heart to stop remembering 9/11, making the disasters almost believable.

The whole 2012 movie moves around different characters in the world who have bought tickets to three massive futuristic ships built by the Chinese people.  All heads of states, politicians and anyone else who is rich enough to afford the 1 billion Euros per ticket, can and will be saved.  All others are screwed and doomed to die.

The two main characters have enough acting intelligence and voracity to hold your attention to the plot but without them I would have been bored.  The plot does not hold its own.  It does not portray any scientific data or religious beliefs or truths to justify the end of days and why the earth is doomed, and so quickly.  It just screams the end is coming so you better ……..run!

If you like special effects, this is the movie for you.  If you are expecting a plot you will unfortunately be disappointed.  I think this movie may make people think.  Think about their own mortality and the coming end of days.  Whether you believe it will happen on December 21, 2012 as the movie suggests, or sometime in our lifetime, our children`s lifetime or our grand children`s lifetime, the end of the world is sure to happen as nothing lasts forever.
