     2012 is a good film. If I were you, I'd like to watch it. The words, "Everyone is equal,
and everyone has his chance of survival" , have been shocking to us.
     Things begin in 2009,as an Indian scientist has made a strange discovery:It seems that there are serious storms on the surface of the sun, which are having a great effect on earth. By 2010 the US President calls
a meeting with seven other famous world leaders at the G8 summit in Spain. He says the
world's top scientists have found out that the world will soon come to an end.
     Finally we reach the year 2012. By now, signs have been appeared. The west coast is with so-called "mini earthquakes",  and fissures (裂缝) often appear in the earth.  But people are going about their daily
lives as usual.  At this time, Jackson Curtis is going on a driving trip with his two young children in Yello
wstone National Park.
     Jackson and the kids arrive at Yellowstone to find that some parts of the park have been taken over for reasons they don't know.
     At the same time world leaders are planning to choose excellent people from all over the earth, and let
them get out of the cataclysm (灾难) by special built ships. Everyone else will be left to death.
     Jackson, of course, is not one of those chosen to be saved, but he tried his best to get on the ship with his family. The movie ends with a view of the Earth from space, showing a changed African continent.
