Well, what can I say, if the movie was a preview of the future, I would probably die from boredom before the catastrophic events occur – I think I actually took a nap during it.
I guess the whole earth shattering scenes were cool, but oh my god I kept trying to find young Elijah Wood in a motorcycle looking for Leelee Sobieski and yelling “Sarah!”, which to me already says a lot.
Predictable, boring, exaggerated, and kind of lame – seriously, isn’t the earth exploding not enough, the hero and his friends/family need to be half a second away from escaping EVERY single time?
Yet, it met my entertainment expectations. I hated how the ending was all happy and shiny after a freaking cataclysm. I honestly wanted to see a sea monster attacking one of the arks! I did like the multitude of languages and accents spoken during the movie.
I look forward to seeing the movie 2012? this weekend. The CGI looked great. Maybe the story and acting won’t be up to par for everyone but the 6 bucks I’ll be paying for the matinee…. well… I think it will be well worth the price for the big special effects alone.
