Warning: Spoiler Alert!

Yay, 2012 is here. I watched it with a friend of mine who already watched it, so he did spoil the ending for me, so I'll probably spoil it for you too if you haven't seen it. Most people think the movie is just two and a half hours of CGI-explosions. Well, for the most part, it is, but it has a good, yet basic storyline. It really gives you a greater appreciation of human life; although in most movies there are human deaths, in this specific movie, at least to me, the death were depicted as crueler and more brutal than others. The main character's posse was so intent on survival that their will to survive was almost selfish, putting at risk the lives of others. The government's approach at the situation, with the arks and the tickets, was rational, the statistically correct way to save humanity. Although Adrian's selflessness could be seen as stupid, irrational, yet anti-egoistical to most. Putting at risk a whole ark for the sake of less than 10 people was kind of stupid. Another point of criticism was the fact that most of the non-essential characters died, either trying to save someone (Sasha) or pathetically (Gordon and Temara).

Well, I've spoiled enough of the movie for you, post your thoughts on the movie, and even your thoughts on the cataclysmic event that's supposed to happen on 2012.
