2012 - The mother of all disaster films

"2012" is happening now in the Philippines and I have finally watched the movie yesterday. I was planning to watch the movie today, but couldn't wait for it. So while waiting for my interview schedule yesterday (application for abroad) I passed by Glorieta Cinemas and the first screening was almost starting at around 11:45. I immediately bought a ticket, grabbed a burger and a large coke from McDonald and headed to the cinema and looked for my seat. After several trailer, 2012 started. The first main character (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor) in the film looked so familiar. I have seen him in Redbelt movie. I can't forget his character because of his excellent performance in that film. It was after several minutes 'til John Cusack was shown with his funny act. He played a not-so-known author of the book in the film which later taught a very important lesson or realization to Ejiofor's character.

After several minutes, disasters begun in different parts of the world. I had nothing to say but "Whoa, wow...what the f***.." again and again. It started by a mini quake in which earth cracked like an egg shell then followed by a real monster earthquake, gigantic tsunamis and a fireballs from the sky. The disaster effects and thrilling action were to be expected in the film, but what I didn't expect was the story. It is more inspiring and very touching. It tells us that there is always hope no matter what, may it be an end of the world. Indeed 2012 is the mother of all disaster films that should never missed to watch.
