2012

I had heard that the movie 2012 was a good adventure/thriller to see. I have waited a long time for it to be shown on TV; thus, I recorded it and watched it last night. It was okay only because I did not pay an admission fee to see this global disaster flick, but I am tired of seeing movies that rely on CG rather than good acting and well-written screen plays. Just about everything in this movie is implausible. For example, the principle characters, among others John Cusack, and Thandie Newton, while escaping the US by flying a Soviet-era plane to China to reach the "arks" that will be able to survive on the seas discover the Hawaiian Islands where they were going to refuel have been reduced to molten lava. With little fuel the pilot says they will be going down into the sea, but miraculously they reach the coast of China thousands of miles away not far from the arks. If such rediculousness does not bother you and you enjoy one implausible action/adventure scene after another you will enjoy watching the almost three hour long 2012.
