Movie Review: 2012, We Were Warned (2009 Sci-Fi Thriller Movie by Roland Emmerich)

I caught 2012 in cinema last night with two boys (my boyfriend and my brother). The movie revolved around a global cataclysm predicted by the Mayans eons ago. For P152, I think it was a good watch. The special effects were amazing and John Cusack was still a looker. Haha.


Seriously, I think 2012 was more of a reminder/warning as to where the world is gradually leading to. Technical glitches, corny scenes and imperfect plot aside, I think what happened in the movie is possible to happen in the future, in our lifetime. Global warming and climate change are getting worse each day. Their effects are already being felt in and by the world. I wonder if we can still do something to reverse that. I’m not being pessimistic here, but really, there is an end to everything. We may be able to delay things but for how long? It’s God who can only save us. If we don’t get our acts together, then we are doomed. But that’s another story.

Haaaay, thinking about the movie makes me a bit sad. But don’t get me wrong, I liked 2012. It had some touching scenes that you could relate to. It also gave out some scenarios where a person’s and a civilization’s decision making skills were tested. Charles Darwin‘s Theory of Evolution (survival of the fittest) was also given emphasis in the movie. But this time around, the determining factor was wealth.

I’m sure if you’d like to be entertained (with mixed emotions!) for almost three hours, this movie is a good choice. It made me thought about the future of mankind when we were getting out of the cinema alright, but that’s just about it. Oh well, life is short so why bother, huh? :)
