I had a great time hanging out with Atul and Wanie as we headed for the cinema to watch 2012. I really have to give my review on this.
The movie is all about apocalyptic disaster that is caused by rapid heating from the Earth's core which practically resulting crustal displacements, mega tsunamis impact along every coast line on the earth (9.5 and 8.2 scale at one time!) and also volcanic eruptions. Most of this events is predicted according to the Mesoamerican Long Count Calender @ Mayan calender. Basically, 2012 is predicted the year for Doomsday or kata kitani hari kiamat.
But, I wouldn't touch that much. For me that story didn't give me the chills. I'm not sure why..maybe because I wasn't wearing my spectacles so, I couldn't see much details. But, what's for sure; the story should not be taken seriously by us Muslims. No need to go panic and repent the next day or such. On contrast, it can be a sin because, of believeing what non-muslims predict about Kiamat instead of what the Qur'an have reciting from the words of Allah. So, in theory, the movie may give an indication but, what Allah prepared for us on Kiamat is beyond of our expectations and knowledge(That's for sure).
So, my review of the movie... hmmm.. very exciting and large application of fx. I was so soaked in to the movie; I keep scanning the whole screen, looking at each characters, be practically attentive on the whole plot. I really love how they extract videos that can be included in the movie (mcm banar saja ahaha) and so loving how they take full attention on how disasters unfolds. what's more, the pacific and Eurasion plate continent hits the most a.k.a IT'S educational!! That's what I want to learn during my geography lesson :) Students will be very critical to identify the fault lines and tsunamis occurence~~woah. (Note to geography teachers: Very recommended!)
As for the casts.. they did a good job :) Can you imagine being in a small room with green screen behind you and acting as you saw the world destroyed before your eyes? The kids were marvellous! Favourite cast must be Nima; The tibetan guy. I search on him and he is actually American by the name Osric Chau. google tah~~
Well, I can't think much now..the props were great (i.e: Bentley cars!!) I cannot describe much on the whole plot sal ada yg alum liat haha..it's not fair for now. Toodles~
