This 2012 movie is going to scare the crap out of everyone! Don't be surprised if a lot of beach front properties go up for sale suddenly, if there is a mass exodus out of the cities, if mountain properties suddenly become a hot ticket or if people start buying a lot of food to store.

The 2012 movie has raised many questions in people's minds. Finally, 2012 has gone mainstream and this might be the government's idea of warning people of some of the coming challenges for humanity. Those who are paying attention will increase their chances for survival by moving to higher ground and preparing with food storage. People who don't prepare for what's coming, well, you've been warned according to the message of this movie!

In 2009, scientists detect severe storms on the surface of the sun and believe this will have an effect on the earth. Over the next few years, scientists gather data that indicates the imminent destruction of the world and inform various world leaders. Rather than inform the public, the leaders formulate plans to save themselves.Latino Review: Story Details for Roland Emmerich's 2012 (June 24, 2008)

Author Jackson Curtis (John Cusack), an author who has sold only 500 or less copies of a book Farewell Atlantis, which talks about speculation that the world is coming to an end based on prophecies from ancient civilization. Jackson is separated from his wife, Kate (Amanda Peet), who lives with their two children (Noah and Lily) and her boyfriend/ husband, Gordon. Now, Jackson takes his two children for camping at Yellowstone National Park, which has been taken over by the govt for a top secret project. The kids, especially Noah don't quite like their father.

Before this, there is Dr. Adrian Helmsley (Chiwetel Ejiofor). He is a Geologist, working with the Govt, who discovers that, the world is coming to an end, with help from his friend Dr. Satnam (Jimi Mistry)

Now, Jackson tries to save his family and is on the run with Kate, two children and Gordon. As usual, the whole world is cracking up, leaving just about enough roadspace for Jackson to drive his Limo on the roads and reach an airport. Of course, he needs to know the map, which will lead to the spaceships. And luckily Gordon can fly a plane. So, he gets back to Yellowstone to recover map from a half lunatic who runs a doomsday radio channel. From that time, its mostly a bumpy ride on the small plane to Las Vegas. In Vegas, enters Russian billionaire Yuri Karpov, his arm candy girlfriend and two children are flying to China...yes, who else...but China to take the onus of building spaceships. So, while the world is being swept away, our Russian billionaire and Jackson gang flies an Antonov megaplane to China with Gordon as co-pilot. Why else would Yuri agree to take them on the plane?

In true movie fashion, A common man, Jackson becomes the hero, representing the good old values of humanity. Poor Chinese workers are displaced and exploited to create space for the secret project, which is disguised as a dam by government machinery. You can easily guess, who will survive and who will not. The hard working scientist, who in a cliched dialogue delivers the fact, that he had not much luck with girlfriends and strikes it well with the First Daughter.

In the climax, there is a snag in one of the ships and some people are stranded while others are ready to leave. Obviously, there is a villain who wants to leave everyone and just secure the future of the cream of the society and those who could pay big money. Again Jackson saves the ship as well as take the people on board.

And finally, when the world is ready for a new beginning, Africa becomes the new safe ground for the world.

4 out of 5 stars for the movie but 5 of 5 for special effects. They will blow your mind!
