2012 (Theatrical Release USA 2009)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì

2012 has spectacular views of  a large American coastal city disappearing into the ocean. The special effects drive this story.  The story itself increases in quality as the movie progresses and becomes quite good in the last hour of the film due to the increased value placed on human life and the dialogue that supports integrity and morality. The script increases audience hope toward the final stages of the movie for survival and that makes this film a good action flick for apocalyptic film fans.
