Let there be no question in anyone's mind: Roland Emmerich is the King of Epic Films. 2012 does an amzing job of taking something we already knew and solidifying that.
In 2012 Massive waves, Volcanic eruptions of an amzing magnitude, fiery flying bits of debris, earthquakes, toppling buildings, crashing trains, and other amazing sights totally encompass our field of vision fully and epicly. There is nothing I have ever seen that measures up to these sights of tragic beauty...especially when viewed on the big screen. Words fail to describe what it's like to view all this on a theatre screen... I never in my life thought that I'd have the pleasure of viewing Santa Monica Pier being pulled out to sea dragging a bunch of land with it, or all of Yellowstone exploding in a volcanic eruption. Yea...It's jaw-dropping.
The plot of 2012 involves a family fighting to survive the end of the World, a scientist that is fighting to keep control of the worsening situation, a corrupt government official, and a conspiracy to save only the rich and wealthy. An interesting story indeed. I never expected a Roland Emmerich film to have a believable, compelling, and touching story...but 2012 does, and boy does it grab the audience and pull us in. The film clocks in at around 3 hours, but for me it felt like it wasn't more than 90 minutes.
In the film the cause of all the chaos is the ever increasing heat of the sun. It heats up the Earths core which in turn causes the Earth's crust to move in ways we've never before seen; all this creates massive earthquakes, Volcanic Eruptions, and monster tsunamis that bring about the end of the Earth.
2012 is best viewed on the biggest screen possible, preferably an IMAX screen if you want the ultimate viewing experience and the ultimate RIDE OF YOUR LIFE. 2012 takes us, the audience, on a rollercoaster ride full of twists, turns, sudden drops and stops, and grinds to halt leaving us screaming for more.
