What end of the world is like

Yesterday was the release of the long awaited film 2012, a disaster film that is based on the 2012 phenomenon. The director of this film Roland Emmerich is the mastermind behind famous films such as The Day After Tomorrow and Independence Day. Being a big fan of these films I couldn't wait to see how he portrayed the ultimate disaster movie, showing the end of the world as we know it.

With an all star cast including John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Danny Glover, Thandie Newton, Oliver Platt, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Woody Harrelson, as an hilarious 'crazy' radio host who address's the Mayan's prediction of the phenomenon but know one believes.

It sounds cliche but 2012 did have me hanging off the edge of my seat, literally. I thought I had seen everything CGI had to give but this was something else. There was explosion's, tsunami's, earthquakes, catastrophe after catastrophe. For most parts of the film I was holding my breath. The thing that I feel made it good viewing is that it didn't take itself too seriously, you could be crying one minute then laughing the next. All in all an emotional rollercoaster of a film. Think Armageddon, The Day After Tomorrow and Independence Day on steroids with a pinch of Titanic. Definitely one to watch.
