Film Review: 2012

2012 is another one of those films about the end of the world. Another film like this is the film Armegeddon. As in all of these films the humans are trying to survive the disaster.

This particular one however, is based on the Mayan prediction 1000s of years ago. The Mayans predicted this with their number scheme, a dot . = 1, a shell = 0, and a dash - = 5. This could go up to 19 and then they'd put a shell and a 1 and get 20 etc. This goes up and up, but because for some reason the numbers stopped on something like 12212012 they thought that the 21st of December 2012 would be the end of the world.

The main characters in this film are a family of which the parents are divorced and the mothers boy friend. Their are also various other main, or important characters but I am not listing them.

To 'almost' end the world in this film, many natural disasters occur. For example, a super volcano in yellow stone USA, and the switching of the poles.

After all of this a few million people escape in some extremely big boats, with most of the worlds most famous items. They then head for Africa as it has now risen several feet into the air. 'Everest is no longer the roof of the World', a quote from the end of the film.
