Its just that i sorta wanna stop everyone from raving about 2012 so much!! ..its kinda starting to get a little annoying!..
And well even though not many people read this blog and the raving wont probably end.. i can at least say i tried!..
So let the ranting begin!!
One of the most hyped up movies of all time...
After months and months of the awesome trailers..
After the long wait..
2012 proves to be....
A bit disappointing to be honest :D
Well the thing is.. with 2012 you have a movie with tons and tons of special effects and..and.. well thats just it!!.. it has got tons tons of jaw dropping special effects and nothing else.
The director of the movie Roland Emmerich is notorious for just that!!
His previous 'disaster' movies The Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow seemed to have better storyline though.
He said that this was going to be his last disaster movie.. and he has gone all out on this one!!
The level of craziness in the movie is unmatched!!
You have a guy driving a limousine through a collapsing building, the same guy maneuvering an SUV through raining fireballs!.. You have a crazy radio jockey who seems to be the smartest person in the movie.. An airplane dipping beneath a train thats falling off a cliff!!
YOU HAVE SHIPS SMASHING THE WHITE HOUSE, YOU HAVE SINKING CITIES!!
and when you think he cant get any crazier, he throws a tight rope walking dog at you!!
And after you get past all the craziness..and trust me you will!.. the unthinkable happens..
YOU START TO GET BORED!.
Thats right .. a disaster movie where you get bored!!
I mean the end of the world is all fine and dandy.. but stretching it out to last more than 2 hours??!..C'MON!!
The movie does make an attempt to get emotional though.. with a few good speeches here and there that might touch you.. and a few scenes where he tries to depict the importance of relationships and stuff.. But none of them seem to bring about the desired effect..
And well as morbid as this sounds.. they could have shown the 'death' scenes with more detail..
I mean sure there are people dying in the movie.. but you dont actually see them dying..
All you see is cities being dismantled by the forces of nature.. even when they do show scenes of people dying.. all you see is a big rock or boulder crushing hundreds of tiny people!!
The performances by the actors were pretty good though.
John Cusack who plays the lead role has played out his part as a common man brilliantly.
The secondary plot is about a family that seems to be falling apart..not much to talk about there either..
If you are a person who enjoys a lot of special effects and who doesn't care much about the story then 2012 is a must watch..
Otherwise.. meh.. watch it if you have nothing better to do.
So MY FINAL VERDICT FOR THE MOVIE IS THAT IT IS A...
DUD!!
And as usual for those of you who still believe 2012 is Armageddon,...
YOU GO BART!! :D
Well thats it for now..
CYA!!
eventho v feel tht d movie lacks a strong storyline , v did njoy d movie on its course(atleast,i did). yes , that may be coz of d highly sophisticated graphics nd d visual effect .. but wht lse can dey provide ??
ReplyDeleteA destruction widout a storyline would leave a greater effect than one with a stcript.
(d magnitude of d impact increases wid its suddennes)
yes,things couldhv unfolded in a better manner .. u being fan of spontaneity cant complain ! :P tc
