Two days ago I watched the film 2012. I'm really no fan of catastrophe films, but it starred John Cusack so I decided to watch it anyway. Wonder of all wonders I actually liked it! Yes, it did indeed contain LOTS of cliches and impossible things according to science and yes, the emotional raping was horrible at some times, but all in all I liked it. I was very fascinated by people in it. They were going to die and nothing could change their fate. I liked this idea of people just dying, bye bye! What I don't understand is this ridiculous religiosity people tend to develop just at the brink if death. I seriously can't follow their way of thinking. I mean, let's for once pretend God did exist, but well those people wouldn't be saved anyway! Most religions have this philosophy that you have to have believed in a while before you get any kind of salvation. So all in all: what's the point?
Sit down and accept your fate instead. Relax and enjoy the last few breaths in a peaceful manner. Drop the panic and the praying.
I hated the ending. Too American for me. Heck, it's a film about disaster do you CAN'T give the God damned film a happy ending!! I was very disappointed in this, but yeah, what can you expect from American films? Very watchable though! Especially of you you just have that urge to watch the world burn.
