Comments:

The first time i knew that the movie was a disaster movie, i rushly plot my time to watch in a theatre. I love disaster movies ^_^ and i saw almost all Rolland Emerich's film and fans of some like Independence day and The day after tomorrow. And from what i saw, it was great! I like the thrill, the action, the effects, they're just ok. But if i need more emotional scenes, i won't ask Cusack to play. I don't know if Jackson should be that plain, but he supposed to be more emotional, more happiness when you succed and more sad features when you lose.
It's nice and to see it in a wide screen is highly recommended ^_^

Fun Facts:

• Some cinemas show the movie on 20.12
• Summer Oympics in London at 2012, is no way held in December, it should be earlier months.

• When the children are on the camping trip they are bitten by mosquitoes. Both have several fairly serious bite marks on their faces. However in the scene in which they return home (the following day) their faces appear unblemished.
• Assuming that neutrinos have caused to heat the earth core, what was the cause of cooling it in such short time?

Comments:

I can't tell you much regarding this movie, since what i have is the leaked internet version. I am sure that you can find it somewhere by googling it. Frankly, this is a good movie just like any other X men film, you can see the plot and the action is the same thrilling. But since what i saw is unfinished film, i can't tell you the whole story. I need to see the original movie first, then i'll come back with the polished complete story ^_^

Fun facts:

• Originally, Liev Schreiber was given a muscle suit to wear for his role as Victor Creed, in an effort to make his physique look comparable to Hugh Jackman' figure. The suit made Schreiber feel "humiliated." Schreiber then requested he be given a chance to gain real muscle by putting work in the gym and changing his diet. He trained for 3 months while on the set of Defiance (2008) in Lithuania, and eventually trained with Jackman on the set of X-Men Origins: Wolverine in Australia.
