Total Destruction
Thursday, June 18, 2009 So this movie, "2012", portends total destruction to life as we know it. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy disaster movies, "The Poseidon Adventure" being one of my favorites, but check out this trailer. The whole thing is just jam packed with St. Peter's-imploding, tsunami-wave-inundating, meteors-showering-down-from-the-heavens, fiery mayhem. The words "From the Director of 'Indepencence Day' and "The Day After Tomorrow'" appear about halfway through the trailer and they are a clue to the quality of screen writing and plot development we can expect from such a flick. There are overtones of religious wrath-of-God-type themes, as indicated by the shot of a giraffe being hoisted onto some sort of government sponsored, post-modern ark as the Earth churns itself inside out for as of yet unspecified reasons. This movie looks completely dreadful, yet I totally want to see it. Kyle said "It's destruction porn. Might as well not even have any actors or plot" to which I replied "I know. That last bit with the aircraft carrier + big wave + was that the Capitol building? = Hell, we went to see 'The Perfect Storm' just to see that one big wave." Being that it costs $12.50 to see a movie these days, I probably won't see this movie in the theater. Good thing we have a gigantic 46" TV in our living room.

1 Comments:Ironically, the whole point of "2012" seems to be lost on the producers of this movie. The prophesy foretells the end of the world, period. Not, "the-end-of-the-world-except-for-a-ragtag-group-of-survivors-who-must-now-learn-to-deal-with-their-circumstances-and-live-in-a-world-now-foreign-to-them." End of the world is, well, the end of the world. Any survivors left would immediately negate the premise, especially if they end with a typical Hollywood style happylike ending...
