MOVIES REVIEWS

2012

This film is directed by Roland Emmerich and it is about the end of the world in 2012. It is actually based on the Mayan calendar predictions about the earth’s future that seems to show a horrible destination for the humankind. According to the Maya’s prophesies, in 2012 there is going to be a strange galactic event in our milky way. The earth will be in exact alignment with the sun and the center of the Milky Way that is a black hole. Mayan thought this will cause a phenomenon called pull-shift that makes the pole of the earth shift in a matter of days or perhaps seconds. Albert Einstein suggested this before. He said that the earth poles have shifted before and it had caused global climate changes but it happened slowly over the years. Before the Equator rested in the Pacific Ocean and in Alaska, but now, we know it rests in South America. If this phenomenon takes place rapidly, it would mean global catastrophes such as giant tsunamis, terrible earthquakes, rise of the sea and epidemics because of the millions of death people. When watching the movie, you will see all these planetary catastrophes all the way through it. It starts when a scientific goes to India to visit another Indian scientific and they discover that the sun is causing the earth’s nucleus temperature raise. The governments of the world decide to build some futuristic and phenomenal arcs in order to save humankind, but to get to this inventions people must pay a lot of money. To my mind, this film has fantastic and very amazing special effects but it longs two and a half hours. It is a sad story that made me think about my family, friends and people destination and It made me feel sad. Well, I hope it is just a Hollywood creation because I wouldn’t like to face this catastrophe.




SAW 6

This is a horror film directed by Kevin Greutert that makes part of the saw series that started in 2004. This film show how certain people are chosen to “play” a game in order to understand what the value of life is. This is a very bloody and dramatic film because it contains violence so that is why it mustn’t been seen by minors. Its philosophy is that life should never been taken for granted. The story begins with a couple that has to cut parts of their bodies in order to save their lives and avoid a device to hurt and perforate their brains. There is also a story of a man who invented a formula for an insurance company to earn more money depending on an applicant’s probability to live long enough in order to pay them a tidy profit, rejecting the coverage to those people who didn’t fit in that formula. He starts to play and then he finds his staff playing also the game, so he has to make life-or-death decisions for each one of his staff. At the end, he saves 3 of his 7 staffs but in another room there are two people, a mother and a son. These people are the family of a man who died because of cancer, but his illness was not helped by the insurance because of the formula. He was not actually a good candidate because his possibility to live was very poor. So he would me more outcomes for the insurance company. I liked this film because it has been one of the films that have kept me all the time awake and interested on it.
