2012 (2009)

2012 is a 2009 disaster movie directed by Roland Emmerich. It won 2 awards and was nominated for another 13. The most interesting thing about this movie is the plot. It is based off of a series of events that lead up to the end of the world. I felt particularly intrigued by this film because of the speculation revolving around the theories that the world may end in 2012. Aside from the plot I was also intrigued to learn that this movie is the 35ht highest grossing film of all time. The film fits well into the genre of a disaster movie, but could also be classified as science fiction. Other than that, the theme of pulling together in times of desperation was well established. The special effects were amazing and the other formalities well done. Even though it was rated PG-13 I wouldn’t recommend letting a thirteen year old watch it, I feel it was aimed at an older audience.
