Plot
It all started on 2009, with a man, whose a black American dude named Adrian, a
smart geologist. He was invited by his friend named Satnam. His friend had this mine
studying of what’s happening in the earth’s core. In space, there was a solar flare which
was so strong it affected the earth’s core. Which has interrupted the earth’s gravitational
pull as well as it’s rotation. As soon as Adrian found out about this, he went straight to
Carl Anheuser, the President's Chief of Staff. Adrian had not slept in two days. At first,
Carl Anheuser, the President's Chief of Staff doesn’t want to listen to him, telling him to
tell it to his secretary. Adrian then told him it was urgent that he reads the document and
said it out loud. As soon the Carl Anheuser, the President's Chief of Staff reads it, he
asks who’s he’s boss. And then told him “as of now you will report directly to me”. And
then told him to be ready because soon they will meet the President.
So Adrian was ready to meet the President Thomas Wilson with Carl Anheuser. At first
the President didn’t believe, because it was too horrible to imagine, hoping that it won’t
happen.
Somewhere in California, there was a family who is going out. A man named
Jackson Curtis with his children. They went to Yellowstone Park to go camping; Jackson
wanted to show his kids a place where he always went when he was a teenager with their
mom. They notice a warning sign saying no trespassing, but they still went over the fence
to go through. Jackson wanted to show them a beautiful lake, but the problem is it was
gone. They had no idea what has happened how come the lake disappeared. There was a
man named Charlie who’s a person that broadcasts on the radio telling people all sorts of
stuff of what’s happening. Charlie was spying on them. As soon as Jackson and his
children went to the red zone all of a sudden the military showed up and was running
towards them. They took them and went to their military base. That’s when he met
Adrian, who was a great fan of his book. Lucky for him, Adrian told the troops to take
good care of them and escort them to safety. As soon as the troops left, the Charlie that
spied on them were asking questions to him and his family. About what happened when
the troops took them, what they told him? Then they went their separate ways. So
Jackson and his family continued on their camping trip, this time on a different site.
Close by, there was this vehicle, a man was there broadcasting on the radio. Jackson
went there and had a little talk; this Charlie was telling Jackson what was really
happening. At first Jackson didn’t believe a word he was saying. The Charlie had this
map showing them where’s the safe place to be when the crisis will start. It was given to
him by a listener who was a scientist and this scientist got killed by a government
because he knows all of the plans of government. Then Jackson went back to the
strong, it cuts the building in half. Then Jackson’s son had a call from his mother, Kate
telling to go home now. So they went home, soon they were together in their house. And
Jackson had to leave for his work. He had to pick-up his boss’ children and drops them
off at the airport. Those children named Alec and Oleg were spoiled brats, so Jackson
hated them a bit and called them names. Alec and Oleg were a bit pissed off at Jackson
because he was late, and they mentioned to him that we would live and you would die.
That’s when Jackson started to realize something is wrong, so he hired this pilot and told
him to wait for him. So Jackson rushed to his ex-wife and his children, he called his ex-
wife to start packing and they had to leave but Kate won’t listen. So she hangs the phone.
Then there was another earthquake so strong it would destroy the house along with them.
Luckily Jackson made it in time and pulled all of them out of the house to he’s car. So he
drove as fast as he can, they all notice of what’s happening around them. Ground is
cracking; houses around them were all in ruin. The bridge collapsed, tall building drop
down to the ground along with all the people. They almost didn’t make it out of there
alive. As soon as they arrived at the plane, they notice the pilot was dead. Good thing
his ex-wife’s boyfriend named Gordon knows how to pilot a plane. So they went flying
to the air, evading all the buildings that are falling down at them. They were all terrified,
but they made through it all. So they went again at Yellowstone Park to go to Charlie
who has a map telling them where to go at the same time they put some gas in the plane.
So Jackson with his son was searching for Charlie and soon met him up the hill, Jackson
asks for the map, so Charlie told him it was in his vehicle. So Jackson asks the man to
come with them. Yet Charlie stayed to see what will happen, and he wanted to broadcast
everything on the radio of what’s happening around him. Jackson went to the vehicle and
drove it back to where the plane is at, then he put their kid in the plane, then Jackson ran
back to the vehicle to find the map. Then there was another earthquake, suddenly it
created a huge hole, slowly the vehicle is going to fall. When the vehicle went down,
Jackson ex-wife thought he was a goner, but they waited for him a little longer. Then
Kate saw Jackson’s hand, he was climbing up, along with the map in his possession.
Then Jackson ran to the plain and got in. So they knew what to do now, they know
exactly where to go. But there’s another problem, they need a bigger plane. So they
planned out where to go next. Soon they landed in Las Vegas where big planes are.
There they met Yuri, his boss, and the Yuri’s pilot named Shasa had a problem, he needs
a partner in order to fly the plane. Good thing Jackson ex-wife has a boyfriend that
knows a bit about flying. So they hurried to the plane, and went to China.
Back at home, Thomas Wilson, the President of the United States, ordered
everyone to leave to go to the safe place. But he stayed for the people of America, that’s
when the President told the people of what’s really happening. So the people had a
chance to say farewell to each other and telling their loved one’s how much they love
them. The President’s daughter named Laura Wilson had no idea that her father wasn’t
coming, as soon as she finds out, she cried. Adrian was also there to comfort her.
Watching all those people who died was really sad. Soon the President died and all the
Now, Jackson and he’s family made it in China but they don’t have enough fuel to
make it to the safe place. So they had to do an emergency landing on the snow. While
the plane was landing, they had all kinds of cars inside the plane, so Shasa, the pilot
opens the hatch in order for them to drive out. They all made it, except to Shasa.
The family and the Jackson’s boss notice there were helicopters flying by so they
called them. One of those choppers noticed them, so they landed near them. They were
Chinese Troops, the Jackson’s boss paid them big money to ride with them, but it was
only Yuri and he’s two children that came along. So the Yuri’s girlfriend named Tamara
was left behind, so she stayed with Jackson that was working with Yuri. So they walked,
and walked until they saw a vehicle driving close by. They yelled at them in order for
them to ride with them. They all went to the safe place. That safe place has 6 huge ships
called arks. That’s where their headed. As soon as they made it there, they went straight
inside the ship, but they made a mistake along the way. They jammed the machine that
closes the hatch of the ship. If the hatch can’t close they can’t start the engine. It
jammed as soon as they opened the hatch to let people in. First they weren’t going to let
anyone in because they running out of time. But Adrian convinced them that what they
are doing is wrong. Where’s the humanity if we’re going to leave them to die. Even they
running out of time they can still let some of the people to enter the ship. So as soon as
the hatch has opened they all went in. Then they close the hatch, but it wouldn’t close
because it’s jammed. So Adrian found out that there were people who went inside by
going through the back of the ship. He then recognized them, so he told Jackson that
something is jamming the machine to close the hatch. They had little time because the
tsunami is going to hit them, and it did. Soon the ship was released from its lock, without
the engine they will crash into the mountain. Jackson and his son tried their best to fix
the problem. They fixed it in a nick of time. So the hatch closed and the engine started,
they went full blast in backing up in order for them not to hit the mountain. A minute
Is about the upcoming end of the world where there lots of disaster happened that killed
billions of people. It started in solar flare happened on the sun that affects the earth’s
core, increasing the temperature rapidly. Earthquakes, Tsunami and Volcano Eruptions
Here, the writers showed the main characters they made, the efforts of the characters did
just to help people, they showed how they make ways just on how did they help people in
the world to enter the ship. Especially the geologist named Adrian that has a golden heart
that forcedly convinced the other Superiors in the ship to let those people enter the ship.
They showed here also the inequality, like what happened in the movie. Government
Superiors hid the tragedy that soon to come, they did not even inform the people of the
world except the leaders but, they did also when it is too late and a lot of places have
been destroyed and many people died. In my point of view only those higher rank who
knows the truth and what they did is they enacted their selfishness that people should
Even the negligent of Superiors when it’s just a warning and still have not happened the
tragedy.
Also the people’s faith in God. Hoping that God won’t forsake them and hoping that
For me writers want to show us that this tragedy is possible to happen and to become
alert before this tragedy happened. It is possible too that this will happen in 2012.
Theme
It’s about the prediction of Nostro Damas who is very popular when it comes in
prophecy. This was his last prediction and most of his predictions had happened.
According to the experts his last prediction will happen in 2012. The author of this movie
portrayed this 2012 event by his idea where it first started in solar flare that happened on
the sun and affects the earth that caused earth’s core temperature increases rapidly.
Disasters happen in the earth like, earthquake, tsunami, and volcano eruptions that killed
billions of people but some were lived because they make it into the ship called arks.
Conflict
Circumstances because things that happened are not in man’s will and it’s about natural
disaster, at first it happens in solar flare that happened on the sun then it affects the
earth’s core and made things get wrong. Billions of people died.
Man vs. Man
Leaders hid the upcoming tragedy to the people of the world. One of the scientists got
Also the some of the Superior wants not to allowed the people outside the ship to come in
because their running out of time and when they did that all of them would die.
Characters
For me there is no Antagonist in the movie if has because of the urge to live that is why I
can’t blame some of the characters in this movie who became rude.
