Monk: Oh. Fuck.
Okay. First off. I can't say 2012 is THE most anticipated disaster movie of 2009 'cause I've been seriously out of touch with the masses' opinions but I gotta say that 2012 is one of those rare non-summer gems of a movie.
It's almost a typical disaster movie set up in the beginning. Unknown people discovering that something is horribly wrong with the planet. Government starts setting up shady aftermath plans and shit like that.
Alright, if you're looking for a storyline, go watch 500 Days of Summer. This's not for you. C'mon. It's a disaster movie. The CGI is brilliant in the sense that it really does it's job of providing the presence of real danger to the characters in the story more so than other disaster movies.
Plus, the sight of California sinking into the ocean is pretty tight.
There is seriously not much to say except to keep praising the CGI, the nice touches of action in the movie and suprisingly, some of the more human emotions and instincts that are potrayed wonderfully by the characters in times of danger. There're no superficially insane guys threatening to end everybody else's lives 'cause he's a super-religious fanatic. The Mist, anyone? Also, I love the Bentley part. You'll see.
Ol' Spiky's Rating: 4/5 It sits on top of the disaster movie food chain right next to Lusa. Heard that it was directed by the same bloke. Can't be bothered to check IMDB or Wikipedia but who cares.
Anyhoo... been to another anime convention yesterday and this time in costume. Those who have me on MSN have probably had a sneak preview, those who don't, it's coming soon. Going today to the beach as a cameraman for two lovely ladies. I am praying hard for toples sunbathing chicks and itty bitty two piece swimsuits. Altogether now, give me a Quagmire giggity.
GIGGITY.
Peace.
