2012

A 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.
