Yes, the world is coming to an end again. This time it’s on 12/21/12, as predicted by the Mayan civilization hundreds and hundreds of years ago. That is the world’s expiration date and we are all doomed (according to the movie). So if you are ready, buckle up cause you’re in for a hell of a ride. But first, let me present the main disclaimer . . . this movie is mostly eye candy and action and not to be considered for its artistic qualities. Or look at it this way, if you liked Day After Tomorrow, Core, War of the Worlds, Knowing, or any other disaster type movie, there is a very good chance that you will enjoy this one.

I have so many fond childhood memories of Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol. Every Holiday Season since I can remember I would watch any and all versions of this classic, including a Mr. Magoo Christmas Carol and some sort of Donald Duck version, if you can believe it. So I guess I thought that I would be a bit jaded with the exception that with Disney at the helm, it would at the very least be visually stunning. Well, visually stunning it was but so much more than that. 

Robert Zemeckis was able to twist and turn the story with out changing the integrity of the piece in such a way that you see it with new eyes – I know I did.

The prelude to the screening of this film was very interesting. A woman got up in front of the audience and said a few words. She was representing The Ninety Nines, Inc. This organization of women pilots was established in 1929 by 99 of them to provide mutual support and advancement of aviation. There were approximately 10 to 15 female pilots present in the theater who stood up and were applauded. Another special treat was the presence of an elderly lady whose husband helped fuel the plane for one of Amelia Earhart’s famous flights

There are plenty of “revenge” action movies and one of the first that comes to mind when I think of that genre is the Kill Bill series. This movie makes Kill Bill look like child’s play. Well, okay, not that much, after all I am a fan of Kill Bill and I don’t want to diminish it. Let’s say Kill Bill is high school level where this is college level stuff. It is probably more comparable to and just as good as Taken or Brave One for example. It’s not all about the action either which is pretty good (both the action and the fact that it’s not all about it).
