2012 - End of the world or the director??


Independence day is one of my favourite Hollywood movie but 2012 ??

Plot:

In 2009, An Afro American scientist comes to India to meet a friend of his, who says about the destabilization of the earth's crust. The scientist informs this news to the White house chief of staff(white guy) who plays the bad guy as usual. He along with other nations at the G8 summit in 2010 decide on a massive, secret project to build a huge ship in the Himalayas. The president denies to the whole idea and stays with the people and finally perishes (That's our dear Obama). Our hero (John cussack) gets to know abt this huge ship in the making from a mad guy and goes in search of it. Its during this venture to find the ship, he encounters our modern day villains - The huge sky scrapers, the volcanoes and many more. Finally they reach the ship which is stationed at the Himalayas by some weird short cuts. There starts the whole drama, the White house chief of staff along with the scientist and President's daughter enters the ship. The scientist being the good guy wishes to accommodate an even more people and opens the gates to allow the ones waiting to be saved. There comes the twist in our useless plot, a drilling machine (that's what I assumed it as) gets struck between the door's machinery. With the gates open and tsunami striking the ship, there is water and chaos everywhere(The director has tried a titanic effect but failed pathetically) Our hero once again with his son gets ride of another villain, The drilling machine. Doors are intact and the ship now sails happily with the people on board being the only inmates of our earth. And finally the movie ends showing satellite images that Africa being elevated from the sea level is the only place one can thrive and the ships make their journey to the Cape of good hope.

My views.

2012 – For someone who can watch a movie with absolute NO LOGIC. 2012 and Independence Day from the same director?? I am really amazed!!! Pathetic movie is all I can say. Makes me wonder if the director had thought little about the logic which the audience would be expecting. The whole plot had no gripping scenes except our grinning hero, who is in no mood of seriousness when the whole world is in the verge of extinction. The director might have thought showing India in a few scenes might win him the hearts of Indians.The Movie had frequent interventions of sentiments which obviously reduces the pace and flow.Bad Mind Game!! One positive out of this movie - I went along with a huge gang to watch this movie and ended up having a lot of fun.

Rating – Shud I rate it?? My review says it all!!

Waiting for Avatar!!
