The temperature was….

very low!

The number of people waiting in line…

was a lot!

However I managed to get 3 tickets for the opening night of 2012 in Paris at Champs Elysees and it was worth it.
It took us about 30 minutes to get in and there was a lot of pushing and shoving because the French cinemas don’t reserve seats, they just let you buy a ticket and find your own seat and the Cinema was one of the largest, with about 500 seats.

Now I had seen the trailer for 2012 and I was waiting for this baby to come out and I can assure you I wasn’t disappointed. The movie was very, very entertaining.

I don’t want to spoil it for you hence I will be as vague as possible.

Since 2012 hasn’t happened and there are a number of theories as to why it would happen, the movie took the standard theory of the world ending in total destruction as the basis. The plot line revolved around 2 people, a scientist and a writer.

The Government of several nations hatch a secret plan to save man kind and the rest of the movie involves some really nerve wrecking scenes and hilarious humor.

The movie isn’t much of a talker, apart from the end where they had an Obama styled moment of HOPE but luckily the rest of the movie is jam packed with cities blowing up, volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, tidal waves and high-tech satellite imagery.

If you love science fiction and action and comedy you have got to go see this movie. I’ve added the trailer below, do watch it, find out where your closest cinema is and book a freakin’ ticket.  Do not DOWNLOAD this movie, DO NOT watch a shitty version of it and DO NOT think about NOT seeing it.
