When watching movies, i dont really just watch the movie. When I watched a movie, i dont really care about the effects, the CGI, the sounds, the unrealistic effect as long as its not too distracting to watch more than what we see on the white screen or silver screen as per say. Because what more to me is the plot, how it affected my emotions and my brains. Wah complicated kah?
Anyway, like everybody knows, this movie is about distruction. Earth will repeat its own history, probably about how dinasours were wiped out and some species stay and evolved. Or as per in Quran about the Ark of Prophet Noh. But like typical Hollywood movies, the heroes will not die, same goes in this movie and I wonder is it Jackson Curtis or Dr Hemsley is the main character. Who cares? No one!
I cant say the movie is sucks but according to some people, many of them like The Day After Tomorrow better than this one. I am so bad that i never watched that movie..hahahaha..so how am i going to compare? Takkan nak compare dengan Independent Day pulak.
The movie start with a visit to India by Dr Hemsley. He was invited by his good friend, a scientist named Dr Satnam. Dr Satnam discovered that the sun starting to erupt caused earth electromagnetic field interupted and the result; the earth core become unstable and rising in temperature. That was in 2010. Dr Hemsley directly come back to US and presented the discoveries to United State President and soon the world top leaders. In 2011, a messenger showed approaching the King of Jordan and said the price is 1 Billion euro per head. We wonder the significant of that, only later we know what it means.
And then enter Jackson Curtis, an Aurthor, a divorcee who suppose to spend weekend with two kids at Yellowstone National Park. The ex-wife apparently found a new bf who is a doctor and also apparently know how to fly a plane. When Jackson and kids arrived at Yellowstone, they discovered the area has been fenced and a signboard written restricted but they dont bother. They discovered a place where suppose to be a lake is now drying. While they checking out the dry lake, a guy- look like an insane guy talking to his recorder machine and record what happened to Jackson and Kids when they were escorted by a group of army to the camp. There, Jackson met Dr Hemsley and apparently Dr Hemsley read Jackson's book. Jackson and the kids finally released and they head to camp base to camping. Jackson start wondering when he try to locate the Yellowstone using Google Earth, only find that place is restricted from satellite. Strange aite. At the same time, Jackson saw Charlie Frost broadcasting from a small caravan over there, talking about Mayan Calendar, doomsday. According to Charlie, there's a map where people can be save from this catastrophy. But of course, Jackson only thought it was just nothing.
In the meantime, Kate (the ex-wife) and Gordon (the Bf) luckily safe from an earthquake while do some groceries shopping. This cause the kids to come back home. From here one by one earthquake caused devastating damage and casualties but Jackson, family and Gordon managed to escape and they headed to China. Thats is where the ark is been built. The passenger is those who can buy a ticket with a price of 1 Billion Euro and the top leaders to reproduce the populations because no one or anything is safe during the earthquake and tsunami.
Though its only a movie, no logic on the damage but do we really prepared if things really happened in 2012? Our sun is dying, the heat from the sun, the UV rays...are we ready for that?
