Re: Movies in General/ Star Trek etc etc
2012 for me is going to be one of the "movies you have to go watch", along with Avatar of course.
I was also confused watching the trailer for 2012 a bit, they seem to show earthquakes, meteors, huge tsunamis and floods.. Has there been ever a film before which has used so many natural disasters in it before?
Ooh has anyone seen "This is It" yet?

Re: Movies in General/ Star Trek etc etc
I don't think anyone has even attempted ONE of the disasters on the same scale as shown in this one. Most of the disaster movies we've seen so far give you baby-sized floods/earthquakes compared to the monster-sized ones in "2012". Did you notice the cover art of the movie with a Tibetan monk standing on top of the Himalaya mountain (I think) and with a huge ocean under his feet?

Re: Movies in General/ Star Trek etc etc
I like the cover art which has the city cracking and falling into the ocean. The detail is impressive.
I wonder what kind of plot they have for this film.
True. I think this will be quite a groundbreaking disaster film, in the CGI department at least.

BTW, I hate it when they portray nerds in the so-typically stereotypical fashion. No nerds in the real world talk, dress and behave in the way that was shown on the show (at least not me and and those that I know and I know a lot of them).

Just saw 2012. IMHO it's probably the best disaster movie I've seen in a good number of years, better than The day after tomorrow at least.
Special effects were a bit shaky in areas, and there is the unrealistic "explosions around protagonists but they don't get killed" thing...
But overall it's a fantastic film. Got good comedy, good special effects, likable characters, some gut wrenching moments... Pretty awesome movie.

Man! you should go see the clips on Yahoo. They got some amazing CGIs, like the entire Yellowstone becoming a supervolcano. that's something I've got to see!
About the book, I've never seen it (literally, not only never read it, but never seen the actual book). I think back in the 80's and 90's, Chinese people had such a low self-esteem (I guess from the shock on how far they'd fallen behind), a number of Chinese authors actually got famous for blasting Chinese people and culture. According to them, nothing and absolutely nothing about Chinese (language, food, clothes, religion, history... you name it) is good. They claimed that we Chinese are genetically inferior and culturally backward and that we are destined to fail anything and everything we try. I mean it's one thing to be self-critical and down-to-earth about ourselves, but blasting, or more like humiliating, your own culture like that? that's just too much...
