2012 is Roland Emmerich's film which uses the Mayan calendar and other endof-days
prophecies for their doomsday scenario. In the Mayan calendar indirectly implied live on earth
will be destroyed at the end of the year 2012. It images the world coming to an end in 2012.
2012 film brings off a series of wonders. The movie hits its peak early on. It starts when
Cussack drives a limo through the streets of Los Angeles as freeways and skyscrapers crumble
all round him from the shock of a 10.5 R.S. earthquake. The preposterous flying sequence is
equally thrilling. The climax occurs aboard the giant ark, when an equipment malfunction
threatens almost the entire mission. Unfortunately, the crucial sequence is not filmed or edited
with the necessary clarity. In 2012 film, Emmerich leaves us confused as to exactly what is
happening to whom. However, Emmerich' 2012 deserves credit for casting Cussack. McCarthy
has perhaps his best role ever as Peet's cocky. Danny Glover lends dignity to the role of the
president. Chiwetel Ejiofor, as the chief scientist, brings a moving sense of anguish to a stock
role. Piatt has fun playing the villain of the piece, and Woody Harrelson also chews the scenery
as a bugeyed radio prophet trying to warm his listeners about Armagedon.
All in one, 2012's cinematography, production design and visual effects are awards-
worthy. Music also propels the movie. It presents American Idol runner-up. Adam Lambert, who
provides a rousing anthem over the end credits. I think this film is very great because the images
on the film look like real, combined with good sound effects, making this film was intense,
therefore this film received a very high rating.
