superb............................

this is a superb film which stars John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Danny Glover, Thandie Newton, Oliver Platt, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Woody Harrelson.

In '2012' a global cataclysm occurs which leads to the end of the world and has the survivors struggling for their lives, while a US government agency called the 'Institute for Human Continuity' attempts to use ships to ensure the survival of the human race.

The inspiration for this film is inspired by several hypotheses that stated that the ancient Mayan predicted that a doomsday event would occur sometime around the 2012 northern hemisphere winter solstice.

The director of this movie is Roland Emmerich who directed the films Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow.

Typical disaster movie! Still good tho...

Visually stunning.

Scientifically impossible.

Slightly butt-numbing at over 2.5hrs long.

Quite entertaining tho :-)

And my girlfriend would like to point out that the Mayan calendar ended at 2012 but did not predict the end of the world...
