What is the point of a movie set in times of apocalyptic events? To warn and perhaps obliquely make mankind aware of a possible threat? To offer a ray of hope? At the very least to wow and amaze with images of awe-inspiring destruction?
So what happens when a major Hollywood motion picture comes along that does none of the above and takes away two-and-a-half hours of your time? Nothing good I assure you.
From my opening paragraph you should be prepared for what I thought of 2012, the latest epic from Roland Emmerich, the director who last provided the world with an entertaining cinematic spectacle in 1996 with Independence Day.
Sure it was ridiculous that the humans were finally able to defeat the aliens by infecting their ships with a computer virus but that movie had some cool scenes in it. Since then his filmography has featured such masterpieces as Godzilla, The Patriot, The Day After Tomorrow and 10,000 BC.
The plot of this movie sounds like it was researched off Wikipedia using keywords like 'Apocalypse', 'Mayan calendar' and 'sun spot activity'. Because that's how this movie begins -- sun spot activity in 2008 that is spotted by an Indian astrophysicist (Jimi Mistry speaking in a ridiculous Indian accent that sounds like it came packaged in a Simpsons lunch box) causes great concern.
