Intro : I have goosebumps, people.
No idea why 2012, was chosen as the year the world comes to an end. Some say Mayan’s said so, if you ask the Mayans they would definitely recommend you to watch this movie.

The movie starts in India with a scientist in Delhi making a path breaking discovery of the possible end of the world. And then the news spreads to all over the world and the rich start building a replica of the Noah’s ark. The other plot has our protagonist, and his family running to save their life, when the world is coming to an end.
The story is about whether the Jack Curtis, the protagonist, finally makes it to the Ark with his family. It does not require an Einstein to guess whether they finally make it.
It seems a very noble intention to run for one’s own life US when the world comes to an end. You can call it survival or fear of death. But every actor in the movie who runs to get a place in the ark have a very noble expression on their face as if they are running a charity and doing something good for humanity. Right from John Cusack to all the other actors, they portray either the expression of nobility or the expression which people have when watching Football or cricket and your team is winning.
The probability of the world coming to an end by 2012 seems more when compared to the probability of Jack Curtis and his Flintstone family fleeing all the way from the East coast of United States into China when the destruction happens in the background. Even if the infrastructure is perfect, it would take quiet some time to travel even one-fourth of this distance… one can only guess at this movie.
But the CG work is awesome…. With the destruction of the Eiffel Tower, Vatican and Christ the redeemer and of course the Grand Marino in Vegas almost made to look real. Great creativity in depicting the havoc and destruction… Especially the way in which Michelangelo’s genesis gets destroyed in the Vatican.
It would have been a good movie if at all there was no sub-plot which involved noble families, crazy scientists, cunning politicians and rich bad and powerful people.
