2012

I usually refuse to see a movie alone, it feels like a waste of privacy and a dark space, but recently I let a few quality pictures go to waste because I could not find anyone willing to see them with me. I decided to suck up the pride and go see 2012

The movie surprised me in a few good and bad ways. The first pleasant surprise was black president. Hollywood has this crazy idea that black people can only run the United States when the whole world is about to end. I think they see it as a sign of the end times or something. I remember Morgan Freeman playing black president under similar world ending conditions.

I found my self pleading with the movie to please hurry its pace, I mean lets be honest the only reason people went into a movie like this is to see the destruction and mayhem. Sadly their was not enough of it. Too much love scorned family bonding moments. Too much hittin’ on black president’s daughter not enough mass slaughter of Californians.

I felt as if the movie took too much time trying to explain itself and sadly the punch line throughout the whole movie was “The Mayans knew it was coming.” It was as if that was justification and proof enough that the world was going to end. Some people thousands of years ago with out running water knew that the world would end in 2012.

The movie had a happy ending and it should not have. All the romantically involved couples made it happily ever after and the new world starts in Africa. Which is strange seeing as how black people, besides black president his black scientist, were missing from this new world plan. In the new world only two blacks will live, a brave new world indeed.

Ah, but who am I kidding the movie delivered the goods when it needed to bang bang explosions and death that’s what I came for, and that’s what I got, nothing more and a little less than I would have hoped.
