Last night I had the misfortune of seeing the movie 2012. I was expecting it would be a moving in the vein of say The Mummy, and it actually it was in that vein. But as wherein The Mummy some how worked for what it was I don’t think 2012 really does (a comparison to The Core would be appropriate too). There’s just too many of those leaps in logic. Like driving from L.A. to Yellowstone…uh in a limo in apparently a couple of hours. It would take like two days to drive that far period. I don’t know that a limo would even work on those mountain roads that I can only imagine lead up to Yellowstone. And yet some how not only does the main character drive to yellowstone and back over the course of a couple days he does so in a limo. Are you kidding me?
Also, at the end, after the earth has pretty much come to an end and is in the process of being covered in water some how the main character, who is inside a mouttain mind you, successfully makes a cell phone call. Wait, what? WHAT?
And these are just the minor gripes. There’s just too many leaps in logic. Seriously. If the leaps distract me at all than really they’re just too much. They’re not fun any more, they’re just too much. It was kind of biblical ending. Which you should just see coming really, it’s not like they’re subtle or something.
I also saw The Book of Eli. That one I’m not that sure about. The twist ending is kind of lame I thought. I guess I won’t spoil it. Still lame. Also, the producers of that movie failed geography. Or they forgot to that whole sequence of them crossing the Sierra Nevada mountain range over the course of several weeks. Okay, whatever.
