We took my aunt, uncle and mom to see 2012 this afternoon. They wanted to see it since they figured it didn't have much crucial dialogue for them to be confused by. The local movie reviewers also mentioned how you would see what happens to the state of Hawaii. Yes, we do get creamed. I realize now that we really don't have our house high enough up the hill to avoid a cataclysmic tsunami. I'm also not sure I'm feeling safe about going to Yellowstone Park after all.
I am not one for disaster movies. As a matter of fact, I don't like them. I'm not big into special effects. But by golly, this movie does take you for a ride! How in the world did they do all that computer graphics? Good grief! I realized I was holding my breath with each wave and wanted to press the gas pedal several times during the scenes of them trying to escape. I would have to say this really is the mother of all disaster movies so far.
I think I'm tired from the tension of watching it. I'm going to take a rest now before I put on those aforementioned boots to go to my line dancing lesson tonight.
Yeah, watch a disaster movie always makes me feel as though I have run a marathon!
ReplyDeleteSome movies and even TV shows are so disturbing or scary..they aren't for watching before you go to bed as I try to and then have trouble sleeping...
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking I'll skip that one. The trailers on TV were enough for me. I did read that they pretty much made this movie by combining all of the special effects scenes from all of the previous disaster movies into one.
ReplyDeleteDid you stay till the credits to hear Adam Lambert's song 'Time for Miracles?'...I'm a big fan. But I won't go see that movie, it sounds too scary.
ReplyDeleteI very rarely go to movies, but I'll definitely pass on this one. I've discovered that I get along quite well without TV, without movies, except the ones I rent. Hope you have a fun night line dancing -- now that is something I do miss, any kind of dancing!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!

I have been the same just watching the trailers - amazing, think I'll save it for a smaller screen tho lol!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of disaster movies either. Don't like to watch too much real life tragedy on the screen. I especially don't like real-life movies with suffering all the way through and a sad ending...there is enough of that in the real world. I want to watch a movie to see "La-la-Land" happy endings.
ReplyDeleteThat's just me.
Ha, come what may, you just keep on dancing!
ReplyDeleteGreat banner pic.
I don't go see disaster movies! My life provides more than enough disaster/drama as it is. LOL
ReplyDeleteI think i too can do with out watching this one ... ..teheee.
ReplyDeleteI love disaster movies and massive special effects. I am dying to see this one. Did your relatives follow it okay?
ReplyDeletethe laughing housewife: They followed the movie very easily. It's really the special effects that tell the story. They had a blast and LOVED it! I would recommend seeing this movie at the theater to get the full effect. It was pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteYellowstone is the big concern among those of us who know something about it. There is a lot to be said about our planet and going through some cataclysmic changes is not new but to me it is frightening.
ReplyDeleteI don't like disaster movies, either, and can't imagine why some people enjoy them. Thank heavens you could follow that up with a line dancing class. I'm sure that helped you get back to reality, didn't it?
ReplyDeleteI don't watch violent, war, or scary movies. I don't want to remember the pictures in my mind.
ReplyDeleteI'm not one for disaster movies either but it sounds like this is a pretty exciting one and I am always amazed at the special effects. Our son went to see it and his opinion was very like yours. If I don't get the chance to see it in the theater, I think I will pick it up when it gets to a DVD.
ReplyDeleteI want to see this one, but yes, disaster movies take a lot out of me!
ReplyDeleteYou've reminded me of the first time I saw a photo of Waikiki, and I thought, "wow, one tsunami and all that's gone". I've always loved the seashore...and always lived well away from it! But the chances of one happening to Hawai'i are probably less than one of me getting hit by a meteor here in the middle of my island, I think?
