2012

WOW! Roland Emmerich has done it again with his Doomsday foretelling. And this time I am very much likely to believe him because yyyyeeeeaaaarrrrssss ago I remember watching a BBC documentary about it!

2012 is about the sun sparking a huge solar flare that heats up the Earth from the inside out and makes the crust and poles shift.

Like any Emmerich film, the film looks at the lives of several different people:

• Joe Bloggs - in this case John Cusack and family



• The Scientist who foretells all of it and is the 'good egg'- Chiwetel Ejiofor who Brits will recognise from Love Actually. Yet another brilliant Brit actor nicking the American parts from American actors (makes me so chuffed!)



• The President of America- Danny Glover



• The Arse- which is split into two characters, there is the Russian business man and Oliver Platt who never fails to not make me smile even when he is being a pillock!



• and a whole host of randoms, that get the "oooooohhhh shit!" camera angle when the shit really does hit the fan.

After seeing a lot of films recently (sorry I haven't reviewed all of them) it was really nice to get so involved in this one. At times I couldn't help myself by saying out loud "RUN! run now!!!!" or squealing at other parts.

Scientifically speaking some situations are highly improbable (bit with the volcano...) but with Roland you are just there for the ride, and he delivers, he really does!
