The world is coming to an end...
Have you seen the new film 2012? I did. Turns out the world is going to be ending near the end of the year 2012. Bummer, huh? If only it were just a movie and not a peek into the future of mankind.
Except that it is a movie. It's not real. This is a made up story written by a writer or two in an office. There is no magic or science behind it. It's for entertainment purposes.
You may be asking why I had to state the most simple of facts in this blog. It's because there are people out there that aren't getting it. They sit on forums and comment sections of the web and argue with people about how at the end of the actual year of 2012 there will not be an alignment of planets that will help bring the downfall of the world itself. They argue that the science of the movie is fake and as such the movie is silly and shouldn't be watched. To all of this I say one thing...
IT'S A MOVIE. YOU DUMMIES!
It doesn't matter if there is or isn't going to be a cosmic event in the year 2012! That was written into the movie as a plot point to get us to the part of the movie where the world goes to crap in a hand basket. This isn't the director trying to show us what he thinks will happen to us in the future and telling us to open our eyes and prepare for the coming doom. The director likes to blow crap up and this is his way of doing a lot of that in one movie.
People need to stop taking the entertainment industry so seriously. Folks need to stop complaining about the science of a big dumb fun action movie and just sit back and enjoy the ride. Critics need to stop bashing a movie that doesn't have a goal of enriching the art or lives of the people who view it. Sometimes a movie can just be for having fun.
I saw 2012 and I had a good time with it. The acting was fine, FX were excellent, and the story had some eye rolling moments but in the end the whole thing was a hoot and I left the theater smiling. So go have fun, people.
It's not the end of the world.
