2012A big budget catastrophe movie without much else to offer. Worth checking out for Morgan fans despite her smallish role.
Calling 2012 a "big budget catastrophe movie" doesn't leave much to add.
The inside of the Earth is heating up. Earthquakes, exploding volcanoes and
finally the mother of all tsunamis cause destruction of scale perhaps never
seen before. Otherwise the movie feels a fair bit like a re-make of
Dakota's War of
the Worlds. The hero is a divorced father, whose ex-wife has married a
more decent man. The kids, a boy and a girl, live with them.
Morgan plays the girl, Lilly Curtis. Like Dakota's Rachel, Lilly has a few
quirks. She likes to wear eccentric hats, and she wets her bed, despite
being 7. You can guess if she overcomes the latter, but the affection for
hats doesn't seem to have disappeared by the last scene, which is good,
because they really are very cute on her.
And all the destruction is just glorious.
