Review of Smallville - Series 1 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

Emmerich kills another 6 billion!!

Advantages: Simply stunning effects that will have you engrossed from start to finish.
Disadvantages: Just lacked that spark that could have made this a truly epic movie

...date of the 21st December 2012 the more and more people are starting to become fascinated with it and its meaning, and of course the mighty “Hollywood” is no exception. Don’t worry though as this film has very little to do with the actual Mayan predictions of the end of the world, with only a very small number of references being made which is a shame as I could have included a boat load of background on the actual predictions and unless I had ...
...cast you can visit the 2012 IMDB webpage; http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1190080/ Will the Effects Blow You Away or Just Fizz Out Now of course we all want great acting in our films but the real reason why you would go to see a movie like this is for the effects and this has them by the bucket load. Long gone are the shaky camera effects to simulate an earthquake now we get to see buildings being torn to shreds as the ground rips open, and no longer ...

Review of 2012

It's the end of the world as we know it ...

Advantages: Another visually impressive and thought provoking movie from talented director Roland Emmerich
Disadvantages: A weaker narrative than Emmerich's previous movies ... didn't live up to expectations !

...teaser trailer for the movie 2012. Instantly I knew that it was a movie that I would really like to see because I saw the words "From the Director Of Independence Day" appear at the start of the trailer. Independence Day is in my all time top ten movies and was a movie I thoroughly enjoyed. With the looks of the trailer ... 2012 was going to be just as good. There was a sense of global disaster, a hint of an emotive storyline, just a little bit of ...
...2012 was eventually released on Friday 13th November 2009 and I saw the movie on it's first weekend in a packed cinema. The movie is rated 12A ... which seems appropriate but it does contain several harrowing scenes of injury and death that more sensitive viewers may find distressing. So, did 2012 live up to my expectations ? Well, l hope this review answers that question !!! ~ THE 2012 PHENOMENON ~ The movie 2012 is based on what has become ...

Review of 2012

The end of the world is coming!

Advantages: stunning effects, great acting
Disadvantages: where was the mayan myths?

...the world will end in 2012 on the 21st December. Interpretations of the scripture has unveiled that catastrophic events will occur in 2012 leading to a winter solstace on the 21st December killing off the human race but only before the changes throughout that year have lead to a different level of consciousness of the human race to begin with. Terence McKenna was a writer and a philosopher. He has researched and created algorithisms for the universe ...
...it hit on 21st December 2012 which gives some support to the Mayan beliefs. Could this philosopher's research actually be implying that as far as physics and philosophy is concerned it does appear that something that will change the universe on this date? McKenna himself denied knowing anything about the Mayan calendar. As well as McKenna's philosophy there are other groups of people around the world who, over the years, have their beliefs and theories ...
