2012, the Coming of Resurrection

These days, the world seemed preoccupied with the emergence of issues of resurrection will happen in the year 2012. This prediction appears on Maya calendar, one of the ancient Indian tribes. According to some rumors that circulated through the virtual world, the end will occur in the year 2012 in accordance with the end of the Maya calendar. The issue is then further spread, until finally emerged a background movie Day of Resurrection, which is "2012".

In the Mayan calendar indirectly implied that life on earth will perish at the end of 2012. At that time, the world will be hit by major disasters and chaos going on everywhere which resulted in destruction of the human race.

Curtis Jackson (John Cusack) is just one of the first inhabitants of the earth is not too sure of this prediction.

Once upon a horrific incident happened in Guatemala. Hundreds of people decide to kill themselves because believing ancient Mayan prophecy was true. IHC (Institute for Human Continuity), a secret organization that has been investigating this prediction eventually come to the conclusion that predicted hundreds of years ago was true. Convinced that there must be some way out of this calamity, IHC then build a large ship just below the Himalayan Mountains.

The plan, they would repeat of Noah age and trying to save as many people as possible to the human race is not extinct after this major disaster. Outside estimates, the Earth's plates shift was happening faster than scientists expected the IHC. In an instant, while the Los Angeles destroyed North Africa and Italy also did not escape from this great disaster.

Now, the fate of humankind is in the hands of IHC. Curtis Jackson with Kate (Amanda Peet), his ex-wife, and their two children, Noah (Liam James) and Lilly (Morgan Lily) must compete with time to get to the foot of the Himalayas, or they will become victims of this catastrophe.

In broad outline, to mention a good movie or not can be seen from the two categories. The first is a film purely as visual spectacle while the second is a film that combines many elements like script, directing, acting, moral message, the logic into a single herb is interesting not only from the visual side. For short film, “2012”, this first category may be more suitable.

Problem making a replica of destruction, Roland Emmerich, the director is not a new one. Armed with experience of dealing with "Independence Day" and "The Day After Tomorrow", the promise that 2012 will be the greatest disaster movie to date may be fulfilled simply. Moreover, the production cost of about U.S. $ 260 million from Sony Pictures Entertainment, this film will certainly be able to exceed the earlier work of Roland.

Visually, there is nothing wrong with this movie. Visual effects used to show some scenes of destruction of the earth were first class and amazing. It can be said from the beginning to the end of the movie audience will be riveted in my seat watching impressive visual effects are presented. Unmitigated, more than two hours you shall be spoiled with this visual treat, pure visual treat.

The rest, there is not much given by this film. The idea of the story is not something new, because the rumor about the end of the world has been around long enough. And it is also became one of the key success of this film.
