Director Roland Emmerich has once again proved his metal with his new movie 2012. The story is written by producer-composer Harald Kloser and director Roland Emmerich himself.

2012 is a thriller story which is based on the Mayan culture prediction of Doomsday. The plot of the story follows the historical incident in which Mayan Long Count Calendar predicts the end of the world will occur at the end of the current cycle on or around December 21, 2012, which also coincides with the Galactic Alignment of December 21, 2012.

The story of the film also exhibits the struggle for survival of a divorced man Jackson Curtis (John Cusack) to save his ex-wife Kate Curtis (Amanda Peet) and kids Noha (Lima James) and Lily (Morgan Lily) from the disaster who lives with Kate’s boyfriend Gordan (Thomas McCarthy).

The cinematography of the movie is over dramatized. The thrilling scenes of struggle for survival are good but some scenes of destructions of great monuments like Eiffel Tower, White House Sistine Chapel and big buildings looks unrealistic. The grand monuments shatter as if they are made up of sand or paper.

The back ground score of Harold Kloser and Thomas Wander enhances the trauma and thrills of the scenes. The direction of Roland Emmerich is quite effective and it adds dramatic effects to scenes.

The script has nicely inculcated human emotion with the story of destruction. The story leaves effect on the audience mind.

The actors have done good work according to their characters. Actor John Cusack has impressed the viewers with his powerful performance.

Altogether the 2 hour 40 minute long 2012 is a must watch film. The film has been successful in creating a lot of questions in the minds of the audiences about the future of the world!

Director Roland Emmerich is back with his ready to release film “2012”. Previously, the director has given hits like “Independence Day”. After the failure of “10,000 B.C.”, the director is back with his mega budget film “2012”. The film is presented by Columbia Pictures. The film stars Chiwetel Ejiofor and John Cusack in the lead.

The trailers have raised the interest in the global market. The film depicts the destruction of the world in 2012. The film starts with scientist Dr Helmsley, who visits India to investigate something strange going on in the earth’s crust. The cement like layer holding our tectonic plates has unfortunately started to melt due to the sun increasing in temperature with the end result meaning a vast increase in the amount of seismic activities like lots of earth quakes, eruptions etc.

Their investigations reveal that the damage being done to the earth’s crust is proceeding far quicker than expected, with massive destruction on a biblical scale imminent. This is appropriate, seeing as the disaster was predicted in various religious texts.

Then the calamity starts in the entire world and the movie is all about the journey of escape from the situation. The disaster portrayal scenes have been shot by 3-D Technical Equipments. The film uses a lot of graphics and animation. Though the promos are looking very promising, the time will decide the fate of the film.

2012 is releasing on 13th November world wide. Hope the film will recreate the same magic as “Independence Day” did.
