2012 at 1210 in 14

No, it's not some secret code. We went to the theater on Saturday and watched 2012, the 1210 showing in theater 14. I wanted to see it because I thought that the special effects would be spectacular, and they were. Cathy and I thought it was a fun movie to watch. Gene and Ann were a little more critical and could point out all the implausible things that they thought made it a dumb movie, and the truth is I thought it was a little over done and corny in places, but the special effects were, in my humble opinion (or IMHO as they say when texting or commenting on blogs), a lot of fun to watch. One effect that really stood out for me was the eruption of the super volcano in Yellowstone. Starts out big, and gets suddenly BIGGER! HUGE! No, I'm not shouting. The good guys are always cheating death by seconds or inches, which is overly lucky for them, but if they got killed right off, then what? Or if they got away clean with 30 minutes to spare, they would be long gone before everything went to hell, and again, then what?

If you are looking for a lot of plot and great acting, this is not your movie. If you like non-stop chaos where the forces of nature take no prisoners, go see it. I thought it was fun. So did Cathy. We went to be entertained, and we were.
