Talkie Zoo: 2012

This is the ultimate disaster movie, but it's pretty easy to guess how things end early on. 2012 (2009; PG-13) begins with the discovery of a solar anomaly that threatens the very existence of planet earth. Very few people are aware of the information that seems to be available to a whacko independent radio host and a handful of other people who have apparently guessed the Apocalypse is coming. I don't know if the governments of the world are too engrossed in nuphedragen reviews or if they simply have the evil intent to let the innocents of the world die, but even they have made no good plans for saving very many people other than an elite few. Those are chosen to create a new and better gene pool, plain and simple.

The actors in the movie have played very credible roles before (John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Woody Harrelson), but this film really doesn't bring out their full potential.

However, if you enjoy disaster films, this one does fit the bill, even if it's pretty unbelievable. For my part, The Day After Tomorrow played the story out better than this one did.
