2012
This movie was released on 13th Friday, with just two years away from the proposed armageddon and holiday season just around the corner, timing for this release could not have been better.

Let me tell you: Not the best movie I have seen. It is in fact far from being the best movie I have seen. But it gives you what you want to see. Large scale destruction, annihilation of civilized earth...blah blah blah blah. If that's just what you want to see, you will enjoy it. Let me also remind you, most of the grand scenes; you have already seen them in the trailers.

• 5 things I liked about the movie......It is gross violation of a critique's professional ethics....I, therefore, shall refrain from expressing them.

• 10 things that did not make sense/ interesting/ funny/ I hated / irrational about the movie. (Now, that's more like a critique)

1. This movie does not have a soul, relies heavily on CG
2. The Presidents daughter takes 27 days to finish our Hero's book. Is it love, that makes you read books that have sold only 424 copies?
3. Roland Emmerich simply hates some characters in the movie and kills them prematurely.( I like the old fashioned Disney movies, where no one ever dies). Mr Emmerich, Why did you have to kill the fat Russian billionaire's Pilot??
4. Roland Emmerich would need to micturate 2.55 billion Cubic Kilometers of more water before the oceans could see China,Tibet. Tibet, my friend, is a good 5 Km above sea level and 2.55 bil Km3 of water is twice as much water there is already on earth.
5. Indian scientists speak Hindi with an American accent
6. An Indian makes a discovery and the American Gov heralds it as if its own. Of course, the Indian Gov did not have the telecom infrastructure needed to summon the world leaders.
7. Before he was intercepted by a gigantic tsunami our scientist hero was trying to make it to Delhi with his family on foot!
8. You thought the special effects were good, mind blowing? Think again......it appears as ifthe whole Apocalypse happened on a cloudy day. Every CG scene is dark and has a bluish filter on it. Saving money, not having to render shadows heh?
9. The first movie to feature a black American for the US President. (tell me if I am wrong)
10. What do you do when you have to fly to China and you are out of fuel midway? Wait for the earth's crust to shift!

(This movie is the first sign of improving Sino-American relations. Obama's trip is already paying off!, at least for Hollywood)

Last comment: This movie has a message to all those wanting to save nature; “Nature will survive, but Mankind may not survive nature”.
