Christopher Waldeck2012 review

Well it took over 260 million dollars to destroy the world in Roland Emmerich's latest we're screwed movie about the end of the world known as 2012. Well December 21st 2012 to be exact because that's when the Mayan calendar ends. Anyway the only big stars in this film are John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Oliver Platt, and Woody Harrelson. Woody has more of a cameo that is too short because of how good his character really was. The rest of the cast are basically unknowns to use the rest of the budget on incredible visual effects.
Well you get what you pay for and that's corny and campy fun plus lots of gorgeous and upgraded effects that put anything Michael Bay or Roland himself have done to shame. If only the script could live up to the hype of the effects. The script is quite campy and pointless, but luckily it's beter than GI Joe. i'll give some more credit to the film's ability to entertain and it's easily Roland Emmerich's best film as of late.
I won't focus on the plot except for the fact that it involves a hidden shape designed and hidden to escape 2012 and hold a certain amount of people to repopulate the Earth. It's up to John cusack, to save his family from 2012 and board the ship in order to save the human race.
This film is preposterous, campy and just a blast of decent eye popping entertainment. it's far from a masterpiece, but it's good entertainment and Emmerich is starting to get better with these films.
It'll be great to enjoy some entertainment before we enter rehab next week with New Moon. I am quite surprised though that there is a midnight showing for New Moon considering the fact that midnight is way past it's fan's bedtime.
