Yesterday, after work, A Local Celebrity, Mr. David ParisPeking and I went to see the movie 2012. The best part of it? The meal at TGIFridays we had after the movie was over. Truly, it was bad.
The special effects are actually pretty fun. I mean, how often have you seen the White House crushed by an aircraft carrier being carried on a huge tsunami? How many time have you seen the basilica of St. Peters in the Vatican roll over a square full of praying Catholics? How many times have you seen a limo hurdling uneven crumbling streets like the General Lee ? I mean that kinda stuff was fun to see.
But plot? What plot? I mean, there was a plot, kinda, and several subplots tangled in there too. But other than a 'prositute with a heart of gold' I think every other single Hollywood cliches was in evidence. I mean, there was never any doubt who would die and who wouldn't. I'm not sure there was anything that wasn't expected or was a surprise. And there were several holes in the plot so large you could...well, fly a 747 leadened with expensive cars through them.
Sometimes, I recommend movies for their special effects alone, thinking they should only be seen on the big screen. But these effects were truly overwhelmed by the crappy so-called plot. However, to be fair, neither ALCMDPP nor I really went into it expecting anything else.
Seriously, if you feel you have to see this movie, wait until it comes out on Netflix and get it them. Dont' waste your money on it now.

But you need to see the awesome special effects on the big screen! The airplane sequences felt like an imax! If people wait for the DVD, they get a crappy movie on a tiny screen.
