Apathy and Movie Review: 2012

No motivation, no energy, no purpose, why bother at all?

**disclaimer... spoiler**

I have to say that the movie 2012 did not satisfy my expectations of it. The movie never changed my perspectives on anything, and in that aspect I was extremely disappointed with it. I feel that since the movie dealt with such a touchy and fragile subject matter, that they could’ve and should’ve brought the film to a much greater level. Especially, for people like me who have actually thought of the 2012 catastrophes to be plausible. I have to admit that there were some parts of the film where they almost succeeded in inspiring me to change who I am as a person. But, the film took a turn for the worst and turned into this cookie cutter Hollywood action movie, where the guy gets the girl, the family reunites, and the main character achieves everything he’s ever wanted. What displeases me the most is that the film references tales of such dark and obscure times. Yet, you leave the theatre with feelings of great hope for the future.

But don’t let this stop you from seeing it; on a pure movie-goer point of view it met all my criteria to be an entertaining watch. The action was really intense, the story line was decent, and the digital effects were amazing.
