This is a review of the movie "2012," which is a traditional disaster movie about the end of the world as we know it. If you haven't seen this yet, I recommend it, as it is a wonderfully entertaining movie that has action, drama, and a good moral message.
This movie follows the traditional disaster movie formula, flashing between several different characters, stunning special effects, and serious moral dilemmas that must be answered. We get to experience the lives of characters as they struggle against the impending disaster, and also as they realize there isn't a lot they can do other than accept their fate.
The movie begins with a couple of scientists, one working for the U.S. government, who discover some troubling data suggesting that the earth only has a few years left before global catastrophe strikes. We aren't sure what is going to happen, but we know that it is deadly serious. So much so the world governments engage in secret planning to prevent global panic.
Meanwhile, in common disaster movie tradition, the movie jumps between different characters, and how they deal with the slow revelation that something much bigger than they can handle is going on around them. Some of these characters of course come together in the end, and help each other, for the most part, to survive the calamity.
In order to really get a feel for the characters loss, we are introduced to several upstanding and likable characters, and see how they deal with the knowledge that their world is ending, without being able to do anything about it.
As those that survive come together and discover the "project" that the world governments have been secretly working on, we are faced with a dilemma. If you were to only save a small percentage of the population, who would be saved? The super smart? The super rich? The common man? I believe this question is effectively and satisfactorily answered. I recommend that you watch this movie as soon as possible, before the end comes for real.
