2012

2012, is more than incredible, i suppose.

i don't really fancy movie with lotsa special effects, but this time, i have to admit that i was completely captivated by this movie.



the movie was actually made by the prediction of Maya people thousand years ago, that the doom's day will be in year 2012. i think the storyline was somehow quite logical, due to some explosion in the sun and causes the rise in temperature beneath the earth crust. the global temperature of the seawater increases, melting of ice pole, volcanoes and earth quakes. the earth basically tear into parts and the lands shift the position. and the people...most of them will die, for those who are claimed to be in higher level of social class, they survive, for the sake of money.

this movie created really strong emotional impact on me. like "BANG", a gun shot into my heart, and i really cnt help but shed tears when looking at flocks of people running for life, yet swallowed by the gigantic waves. this made my hair stood on ends! some goosebumps ran through my body, and gave me the "what if" question. What if, im in their shoes? running for life but knowing that is not gonna make a change? or What if, I am the president of some country. do i have the right, to cover the truth, and abandon my country as well as the people, escape for a life in the Noah's Ark?

seems like i like to spend some unnecessary time on thinking these questions eh? but it was completely irony. rich people live. poor people die. workers built the ship. rich people get the ship. poor people left behind, yield for nothing. even expensive pets of rich people get to live. HAHA, i suppose this movie is shooting some "higher class" people in a way.

by the way, i like this lady's attitude. her so-called rich boyfriend left her behind as he didn't pay for her. he knew she was having an affair with his assistant. so she was so furious!"CHEAP BASTARD!" she scolded. yet, with the help of some Chinese/Tibet (sorry i have no idea of their nation) worker, she managed to sneak into the ark. her boyfriend didn't have a chance even though he had paid for a fortune for the seat. he saw her, she snickered at him. before the door was shut, she gave him a....MIDDLE FINGER! wow, i love her attitude man! awesome to the max!!!!!

overall, this movie is worth for the price. i might have given lotsa good reviews on the movies that i've watched, but this is definitely the one that all guys and girls will fall for it. there are some people said that this does not reach their expectations. but think in other perspective, this movie is more than disaster, they wana portray the "LOVE" and what "GREEDINESS" can bring for us.

moral of the story, appreciate people around you, don't wait till it is too late.

i rate it 9 over 10!


for further reading on my reviews, i have a Mandarin version here. those comments just came across my mind in Mandarin, so i wrote them in my another blog. of course, it's optional.

the Captain doesn't want to abandon the sinking ship.
he made a choice.
he wants to be with the people.
