According to the Mayan calendar the year 2012 marks the end of the world as we know it. When Adrian Helmsley (Chiwetel Ejiofor) discovers, with the help of his friend, the exact date and times the world will begin to crumble, literally, he takes this information to the head of the state

and his cabinet, and they devise a plan to help save the world, or at least those wealthy enough to afford a ticket aboard a steel arc. Helmsley isn't entirely on-board (no pun intended) with this plan. When Jackson Curtis (John Cusack), a divorced writer, gets wind of the upcoming doomsday, he does all he can to save his children, ex-wife and her husband. Will anyone be able to survive? This apocalyptic sci-fi thriller takes movie-goers on an intense journey to the world's end.




Yank It!

This movie reminded me of the other doomsday movie, "The Day After Tomorrow," only that movie was actually good. This movie was just a little too far fetched for me, however I will say I enjoyed the cast. I thought Danny Glover played a good head of state,Woody Harrelson, was funny and I liked Chiwetel Ejiofor's smart, handsome do-gooder character. I'm always a fan of good stunts and special effects, but to me, this just goes a little overboard into the realm of unrealistic. Plus, I'm never too fond of movies which predict the end of time, especially when, by the predictions, it's only 3 years away. I say save your $8.50 or however much it costs for you to see this movie and wait until it comes out on DVD and rent it from a Red Box kiosk machine for a buck, but make sure you rent it before December 21, 2012 since that's Doomsday!
