2012

We have seen 2012's premiere awhile ago at SM Megamall Cinema 6. Hmmmm.. what can I say???

Well, many people will probably hate me for this but I really prefer "The Day After Tomorrow".

Okay, given, the visual effects are much better in 2012. But I'd say that the acting is a bit exaggerating and there are dull moments (really, I was yawning several times especially during some personal moments among the characters). And I find it weird that despite all those drastic and whooaaahhh calamities (with land mass shifting positions), GPRS is still working??? There is still signal? That must be a state-of-the-art modern day NOAH's ARK in which only the mighty, rich and powerful are allowed??? If you don't have a what? Billion dollars, you won't get a pass to get inside it and be saved???

The movie also depicts how dirty governments are... I mean, what's with all the lying about everything is fine whereas the earth's crust is already at its edge??? And geez, that government official (I don't know what his name is) who is obviously a power tripper even at the very end... I was saying during the movie "Can somebody punch that stupid man?" Really, our world is surrounded by crocodiles... No wonder these events might happen.

Racism... It sucks!!! Really... I hate it!

The movie lacks certain emotions and humanity. And well, sorry to say, some are even overacting.

The climax is not well plotted. Okay, so if the engine won't start they will hit Mt. Everest and that would be the end of mankind...

But this movie made me look back at my Sibika at Kultura subject when I was in elementary. Seems true somehow. I remembered the history about plate tectonics and how land mass shifted. Before, there is only one continent and those earthquakes molded what our current Earth has now.

Hmmmm... We were just joking after the movie and trying to decipher where Philippines is in the new globe/earth shown at the end of the film...

Still, its a must-see movie :) Sorry for the spoilers folks! I might forget about all these tomorrow so I have to post it now :)
