"2012" - Movie with Extreme Action and Effects
Mar 25, 2020 09:01:48 #
Last night I watched "2012" on Netflix (or Prime). A global disaster is destroying most of civilization. I found the special effects to be absolutely amazing. I doubt it was even considered for an Academy Award back in 2009, but the effects are dazzling. As for the action, it seldom slows down.

Yes, of course. I couldn't find him online.
I recognized Stephen McHatty - the pilot. I first saw him in "Centennial," a very good miniseries from 1979. He's still acting and looks about the same. I'm sure you recognized Woody Harrelson from Cheers. It took me a couple of minutes to realize who he was.

He was much better as Oliver Babish, White House legal counsel, on West Wing.

I can't stand these (lunatic, unrealistic) "special effects" movies which suspend the laws of physics. Aficionados of such really believe the "special effects" are possible.

I just loved how they show the doctor, not a fully trained pilot, is fully capable of flying a pressurized twin aircraft better than the Blue Angels.

I concur, I watched it several years ago and couldn't help thinking it had the most implausible scenes I had ever seen. Not even a good premise.

Yes, I must confess, I watched it to the very end.
