Mit Roland Emmerich ist das ja immer so ‘ne Sache. Seine Blockbuster strotzen nur so vor Effekten und man will sie ja dann auch sehen, die „Independence Days“ und „Day after Tomorrows“, nur um danach völlig enttäuscht aus dem Kino zu latschen, weil es außer Augenwischerei eben wieder nix war mit einem guten Film. Das dürfte mit seinem neuen Film nicht anders werden, wenn ich mir die Zusammenfassung der Handlung so durchlese.
The movie starts off in 2009 set in a “scientific lab” in India. Scientists discover that the storms on the sun are beginning to affect the Earth. They contact the White House but of course, no one hears the message.
Skip to 2010, and now everyone knows that the scientific mega-shit is about to hit the fan for Earth. The world’s “top scientists” are meeting to figure out a way out of their imminent doom. Some countries start building massive dams, and the rest of the world busies itself by stowing away priceless artifacts in secret storage facilities.
FINALLY we get to 2012 the West is plagued with more earthquakes than it’s seen before. Now we meet John Cusack’s character, divorced limo driver Jackson Curtis, who has two kids and seems pretty unaware that the world is about to throw up around him. Soon the destruction starts and we learn that the government has created secret Noah’s Ark-like ships to weather the apocalyptic storm. On the ships are rich people, government officials and people related to important people. Everyone else left on Earth can just die. Everything starts going to hell with more fires, tsunamis, dust storms and earthquakes. Yellowstone turns into a volcano. Curtis bands up with his kids and finds out the information about these reclusive and ridiculous arks and makes an attempt to put his family aboard one of them. (io9)
So, so. Die Menschheit rettet sich also vor der Apokalypse in einer Arche. Aus welchem fiktiven Werk kenne ich das nochmal? Wird bestimmt ein großartiger Film.
