MOVIE REVIEW: 2012 (2009)
The movie reviewed here is definitely NOT for children, and probably not for most other people either.
- GENRE: Action, Science Fiction Disaster
- ACTORS: John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Amanda Peet, Oliver Platt, Thandie Newton, Danny Glover, Woody Harrelson, Chin Han, Patrick Bauchau, Thomas McCarthy
- RATING: PG-13
- PARENTAL NOTE: I believe the movie makers think this movie is suitable for older children. I do not. Limited bad language. Extreme violence, though individuals are not shown being killed, except at a distance. Movie portrays mass killing.
- INTENDED AUDIENCE: Intended for older teens and adults. Many people will be put off by depiction of mass killings.
- GENERAL PLOT: (No spoilers) This film shows the full power of the Sun1 unleashed against the planet Earth. Guess which one wins. Oh, and the human race is inconveniently caught in the middle of this cosmic battle of Biblical proportions. All of this was supposedly predicted a few centuries back in the Mayan calendar.
- More precisely, a rare alignment of the Sun and the rest of the solar system ↩
