Movie Name: 2012
Trailer Thoughts: Wow, so its looks like the world is about to end some day in December 2012. First thoughts are that it looks like something I've seen a couple of times before, that said, it does look like it would get the old ticker racing. There is a fantastic scene at the end of the trailer that shows some kind of US navy ship being overturned by a huge wave crushing the White House as it tosses.
There is a mention of government ships in the trailer which leads me to believe that they knew D Day was coming and built ships for the majority of the US population to live on for sometime after.
The director, Roland Emmerich is named as being the man behind both Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow films, both following a fairly similar plot. It seems this Roland guy has a fetish for the world ending and following the story of a few people as the drama unfolds. The main difference with 2012 though is that things have got a lot bigger, technology has improved and effects are more powerful, so it really does look like a breathtaking, yet gut wrenching story.
Movie Rating 1-10: My movie rating based on the trailer has to be a 6 out of 10. Whilst you may not agree and this this a little harsh, I reckon it's bark is much bigger then it's bite, not a classic Im afraid, but hey i've only seen a 2 minute trailer so what do I know.
