Disaster-movie king Roland Emmerich has decided we're due for another effects-laden vision of the end of the world.
This time it's not alien attacks (Independence Day) or global warming (The Day After Tomorrow), it's those darned ancient Mayans.
Not content with advancing chocolate and maths, to the delight and despair of schoolchildren everywhere, they've gone and predicted that the world ends on Dec. 21, 2012. Well, at least we get a movie out of it, one that's heavy on the action and easy on the eyes and mind.
2012 opens in the present day, as geologist Dr. Adrian Helmsley (Chiwetel Ejiofor) goes to India and learns there's been troubling solar activity that confirms the Mayan prediction that the world is going to fall apart in three years' time. (Don't worry too much about the science; in fact, if you need a popcorn refill this would be a good time to go).
