I heard a lady sharing her first comment to her friend That dog sure was ugly. What else was there to say? After a while I found outThe action was truly formidable. demonstrating the power of mother nature. Collapsing buildings, jumping flaming cars, planes falling down and manage to pull up a second before touchdown, it was a real trip and a feast for the eyes and ears. But then again the acting wasnt that good, a bit over the top. In one scene in the movie, where every wasted second could be the cause of a terrible disaster, waste their time beingROMANTIC! At times like that the acting became very juicy, making me think I was watching Titanic instead. One point of advise Do not take this movie too seriously. Its almost stuffed with jokes instead of showing us the real drama of an earth that is about to be destroyed. But keep this in mind and youll have a heck of a 2 hours and 40 minutes(!) in a movie that is made for the cinema. 看完這部電影.我真的需要時間來找出想起來了,我聽到有一位女士,她的第一個評論分享她的朋友這肯定是醜陋的狗,在那裡還有什麼要說?過了一會兒,我發現了這項行動是真正的強大,顯示了權力大自然,觀後感《2012英文觀後感》.建築物倒塌,跳躍燃燒的汽車,飛機掉下來,並設法拉動第二個著陸前,它是一個真正的旅行,為的眼睛和耳朵一場盛宴, 但是有一次署理是不是很好,比最高位在電影中的一個,現場每浪費第二可能是一個可怕的災難的原因,他們浪費自己的時間是浪漫在像倍署理變得非常多汁,使我覺得我在看泰坦尼克號代替, 其中提醒一點不要把這部電影看得太重,這幾乎塞滿了,而不是顯示我們是一個即將毀滅地球的真正的戲劇笑話,但是要記住這一點,你將有一個2小時40分鍾赫克在一個是為電影所作的電影.這部片子,幾乎集中了災難片的所有元素,特大地震,超級火山,超級海嘯,毀滅整個人類的大洪水,陸地的下沉與崛起,地球磁場的倒轉,城市的毀滅,無助的人群,可能是我見聞有限,反正能把這么多災難元素集中中在一起的災難大片,記憶中好像沒有,大概上世紀八十年代的日本電影《日本沉沒》,災難元素的集中度稍可與《2012》相提並論,但也遠遠不及,場面與特效更不能同日而語.看這部影片,你很少能有平靜觀看的時候,眼睛裡隨時都是驚天大災難,所有的思維都在隨著影片故事情節和主人公的命運在轉動. 但這些,只是讓我激動的理由,而不是讓我感動的理由 我的感動,來自於片中的那種人性的光輝.人性,這個詞用於評論電影實在是太多了,多到了泛濫,但我還是要說,這部片子,最讓我感動的,是人性.這種人性,是博大寬廣,是勇於付出,是為了他人而不惜犧牲自己的生命,而不是狹隘自我,不是自私自利,不是人不為己天誅地滅. 在《2012》里,我可以看到人類生命和人類文明的脆弱,那麼健美的身軀,那麼精美的建築,那麼溫情的感情,在大自然狂暴的力量面前,顯得如此無力,幾秒鍾,或者幾分鍾,在地震、火山、海嘯、超級洪災面前,都消失的無影無蹤.但我也看見,無論是在什麼樣巨大的自然力量面前,人類,或者說作為人類代表的影片主人公一家,還有那些上到國家領導人下到平民百姓的人,都在災難面前表現出了人類的尊嚴.美國總統在災難註定來臨的時刻,選擇留在美國與自己的人民在一起直到最後時刻,船長不願丟下正在沉沒的船,這是他高貴的選擇,影片中那位美國官員對總統的評價,我完全贊成.在超級洪水襲來的最後時刻,那些掌握著方舟外幾萬人命運的全世界各個國家的領導人們,在瑞得里安博士我們都是人類的一份子,人類的文明就在與互相幫助創造更加美好的明天,如果我們今天放棄他們,那麼即使我們生存下來,我們怎麼去面對自己的孩子,孩子們又怎麼去面對他們的孩子的激切演說下,一致同意打開方舟大門,無數人歡呼著沖進方舟.那一刻,不管是是什麼人,不管是什麼政治立場,我想,都會在心中刻下一絲溫馨. 而那些普通人,他們為了自己的生存而作出的奮斗和努力,更值得我們投以尊敬的目光.男主角傑克,為了讓自己的一家人得到進入方舟的船票,駕著車瘋狂地跑,從黃石國家公園跑到了拉斯維加斯的機場,在漫天黃石公園火山爆發的巨大煙火中找到沉迷於要和地球共存亡並且快死了都不忘記自己是第一個宣布地球完蛋的那個瘋狂傢伙,又在陷入巨大的裂縫後爬出來追上正在起飛的飛機,經過了飛機原本說要在中國南海迫降最後卻在中國西藏降落的戲劇性經歷,終於在那位好心的中國方舟工作人員天慶的幫助下全家進入了方舟.當傑克在影片最後,終於解除了方舟尾部的機械故障使得方舟順利開動,一家人悲喜交集擁抱在一起的一刻,我想,作為平凡人的傑克,在這樣的巨大災難面前表現出來的同樣巨大的勇氣,應該說不上是為了什麼全人類的共同利益（即使他的做法恰好做到了這點）.他和瑞得里安博士不同,博士確實是一個全人類共同利益至上的理想主義人物,而傑克,在尋常時期在一個為生活而奔波的小人物,在危險來臨時,他的無比勇敢和智慧,都只是為了自己的親人.但誰能說,即使只是為了自己的親人,他的這一切舉動就不值得我們感動,並且值得我們向他致敬呢?又有誰能說,他的一切舉動,不是博大寬廣、勇於付出和為了他人而不惜犧牲自己生命的光輝人性呢?
B. 2012英文電影影評
007第一集，大反派諾博士是個中國人，這部電影上映於1962年的10月5日，之後15天，中印邊境沖突爆發，4年之後，文革中的中國進一步封閉了自己，謎一般的紅色風暴自東方而起，席捲了整個世界，而那些嘶喊吼叫著的左派學生們其實並不知道當時的中國在發生著什麼。
文革過去33年了，西方人眼中的中國是什麼樣子？這個問題始終挑動著所有中國人的心，我們就如同一個少年，有著讓人自豪的成績，也有著不可忽略的缺點，毛躁地期待著，期待著所有人都為那些成績喝彩，所有人都放過那些缺點。我們在每一部大片中尋找著中國的影子，在每一個應該有大國出現的大場面中尋找那紅色的旗幟，在每一次世界面臨奇思異想的滅頂之災時都期盼著中國的出現。我們等來的是什麼呢？是破舊野蠻如集中營一樣的監獄，是中國熊貓的美式減肥之旅，是舊式的軍服和冷酷的軍人，是揮金如土的黑幫富商，是質朴善良卻吃不飽的人民。我們是如此在意西方媒體對我們的看法，所以《參考消息》銷量甚高；我們是如此在意好萊塢鏡頭里的中國是怎麼樣的，所以在失望後我們憤怒，我們謾罵，我們沮喪。
好像一個少年，用穿著球鞋的腳踢著街邊的垃圾桶，發泄著他看似有理卻其實無關緊要的憤怒：這一切，都是成長的煩惱而已。
何必在意好萊塢鏡頭里的中國是什麼樣呢？不需要在隕石撞擊地球之前拉著中國也發射核彈，我們知道自己能毀滅世界；不需要讓蝙蝠俠在香港跳來跳去，我們知道自己有摩天大廈；不需要一個外國導演的感動，我們知道在2008年的5月，汶川、映秀、北川閃耀著怎樣的光輝，那光輝足以在人類不長的歷史上留下璀璨的一點。不需要，其實我們從來都不需要好萊塢的肯定和西方世界的贊賞，我們有《南方周末》，有簡光洲，有盧廣，有×××，有×××（請隨意填空，只要可能被豆瓣刪除的人名都符合條件），我們能夠發現自己的問題，我們也有有勇氣說出這些問題的勇敢同胞。
但是——是的——沒錯，如同那個少年一樣，我們希望那肥大的校服能夠襯出自己一下子躥高了8公分的身材；我們希望那千篇一律的、人人一樣的發型能夠有點變化；我們希望自己成為同齡人中最有魅力的那一個——尤其是和西南角那個黑乎乎的表弟相比；當然，我們最希望的是那些前輩們能夠說一句：小夥子，不錯！
哪怕那些前輩們雖然有的富可敵國，有的學富五車，卻已老眼昏花，跟不上時代，也泡不到美眉了。
少年中國啊，少年中國，當我坐在電影院中，不可免俗地費力尋找你的身影時；當你的名字出現在那張地圖上，我驚呼出聲心中暗爽時；當我和所有觀眾一樣，看到直升機上那八一星徽會心一笑時，我們都是你的一部分——你的少年心性，你的故作深沉，你的不成熟，你的早熟，你的活力，你的不完美，你的沖勁，你的不自信，你的勇敢。
好萊塢的鏡頭里永遠不會有我們眼中的中國，我們眼中的中國只會出現在中國電影的鏡頭里。西方媒體的筆下永遠不會有真正的中國史，中國歷史的記錄者永遠使用漢字，那漢字從前存在於史官懷中的竹簡和市井小民的傳說中，今日則被坐在電腦前的每一個你和我敲擊，那些西方記者們漏掉的每一個歡笑和每一場苦難，都被我們忠實的記錄。
所以，無需費盡去尋找「中國方舟」了，無需為那一句「只有中國能在短時間內做到」而受用無窮，梁啟超在《少年中國說》中說中國「壯麗濃郁、翩翩絕世」，不是嗎？在那些白皮膚的老朽們已經爬到山頂的時候，等待著他們的只有下山的路，而攀爬未半的少年中國，抬起頭，前方是久違300年的絕頂風景。
好萊塢，不如遺忘中國吧，不當大反派，也無意成為救世主，更不想如你們鏡頭中俄羅斯的寡頭、沙特的王儲、印度的科學怪才那般臉譜化。如何編排你們的配角由你們自己高興，但真正的中國，存在在中國人當主角的電影里。
好吧，善良的中國人民都同意了，以後俺們的災難片里，也給你們美國人留一艘船。要減肥哦。
007 first episode, big villain Dr John Ure is a Chinese, the film released in 1962, October 5, after 15 days, the Sino-Indian border conflict broke out, four years after the Cultural Revolution in China to further its own closed, mystery The Red Storm from the East in general into the sky, swept the entire world, and those rages hoarsely roaring of the leftist students in fact did not know then what is taking place in China.
The Cultural Revolution in the past 33 years, the eyes of Westerners, China is like? This question has always been stirring up the hearts of all Chinese people, we would like a teenager, with people proud of the achievements, but also has shortcomings can not be ignored, edgy look forward, looking forward to all those who applaud achievements, and everyone put than those deficiencies. We look forward to every large in China's shadow, in every country there should be a big scene to find that a large red banner, and every wild notion of the disaster facing the world when they are looking forward to China's appears. We waited for the past what is it? Is worn the same brutal, such as concentration camps, prisons, the American-style Chinese panda journey to lose weight is a old-style military uniforms and the cold is a wealthy high-rolling gangsters, is simple but good enough to eat people. We are so concerned about the Western media's views on us, so "Reference News" sales of very high; we are so concerned about the lens inside the Hollywood kind of how China is, so we are angry after disappointing that we abuse, we are dismayed.
Like a teenager, wearing shoes with feet kicked street trash, vent plausible but in fact his anger does not matter: all these are just growing pains.
Why care about Hollywood lens, China is like? Do not need to pull before the meteorite hit the Earth in China also launched a nuclear bomb, we know that he can destroy the world; do not need to make Batman jumping in Hong Kong, we know that they have skyscrapers; do not need a foreign director moved, we know that in 2008 in May, Wenchuan, Yingxiu, Beichuan how brilliant shining, it is not bright enough to a long history in the human left bright point. No, in fact, we never need Hollywood's recognition and appreciation of the Western world, we have, "Southern Weekend", with Jane Kwangju, there is Lu Guang, there is × × ×, there is × × × (please feel free to fill in the blank, as long as may be 豆瓣remove the names are in line with conditions), we can find their own problems, we also have the courage to tell these brave fellow.
But - yes - yes, like that young, we hope that the hypertrophy of Chen Chu their uniforms to a sudden jump high 8 cm tall; we hope that the monotony, and everyone can be a bit like hair changes; We hope to become the most attractive peers of that one - especially with the southwest corner compared to that dark and cousin;, of course, our best hope is that those predecessors were able to say: boy, yes!
Even though some of those predecessors extremely wealthy, and some Xuefu five cars, already Laoyanhunhua, keep up with the times, it can not crush the foam.
Young China ah, young Chinese, when I was sitting in the cinema can not escape convention to effortlessly find your shadow pm; when your name appears on the chart, I exclaimed out loud when the heart Anshuang; when I, like all the audience and saw the helicopter was 81 when the star emblem of a knowing smile, we are all a part of you - your young minds, you Guzuoshenchen, your immaturity, your precocious, your energy, you do not perfect, you have momentum, you are not confident, you are courageous.
Hollywood's lens will never have our eyes China, we are in the eyes of China will only appear in the Chinese film lens. Western media's pen will never have a real Chinese history, Chinese history, the record will always use the Chinese characters, which used to exist in the Chinese historian bosom of the bamboo and the ordinary people of the legend, today was sitting in front of the computer for each one You and I tap those Western journalists who miss each and every one laugh a misery, have been our loyal records.
So, no need to expend a tremendous amount to look for "China's Ark", and no need for that one, "Only China can do in a short time" and is good enough for infinity, Liang in "Young China, said that" that China "magnificent full-bodied, Innocent Steps masterpiece", is not it? In those white-skinned decrepit are already Pashanding time, waiting for their only down the road, but climbing is not half of the Young China, raised his head, the front is a long-hoped-300 years of utterly scenery.
Hollywood might as well forget the Chinese bar, improper major opponent, but also not intended to be a savior, even if you do not want the lens in the Russian oligarchs, Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince, India's science geeks be as profiling. How to schele your supporting by your own happy, but the real China, there is the Chinese people when the main character of the movie.
Well, kind-hearted Chinese people have agreed, after the film was a disaster An Men, but also give you the Americans stay in a boat. Oh, to lose weight.

D. 電影2012英文影評（按照我的中文翻譯，要求不要太難）
2012 is an exciting American movie. It tells the story that everything on earth is destroyed in a disaster in the year 2012, only a small percentage of human beings survived. After watching the movie, I ponder a lot about the end of the world everyday, because I am both afraid and curious about it. This is an excellent movie with a thrilling storyline. It tells us that we should protect the earth and the environment, as well as all creatures on earth. 2012 teaches me a lot, I think everyone should go and see it. What a good movie it is!
E. 2012電影英文簡介60詞以內
The film briefly references Mayanism, the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, and the 2012 phenomenon in its portrayal of cataclysmic events unfolding in the year 2012. Due to solar flare bombardment the Earth's core begins heating up at an unprecedented rate. This results in a series of Doomsday event scenarios plunging the world into chaos, such as California falling into the Pacific Ocean, the eruption of the Yellowstone National Park caldera, shifting of the continents by crustal displacement, and Megatsunami impacts along every coast line on the Earth. The film centers around an ensemble cast of characters as they narrowly escape multiple catastrophes in an effort to reach ships in the Himalayas, along with scientists and governments of the world who are attempting to save as many lives as they can before the disasters ensue.

G. 求電影2012英文介紹
The film begins in year 2009, when there is a huge explosion on the surface of the sun. We then see Adrian Helmsley (Chiwetel Ejiofor), an American scientist, traveling to a copper mine in India to meet his friend, who discovered that Earth's temperature is increasing rapidly. He returns to Washington D.C. and submits a report to his supervisor, who immediately takes him to the president. In 2010, we see the President of the United States tell other heads of state the situation (the world is ending) and we also see billionaires all over the world buying plane tickets for untold sums of money. In 2011 the original of The Mona Lisa in the Louvre is replaced with a decoy, and is sealed away for unknown reasons.
The story jumps ahead to 2012. Jackson Curtis (John Cusack), a divorced father who works as a limousine driver and writer, and his ex-wife, Kate Curtis (Amanda Peet), and children, Noah (Liam James) and Lily (Morgan Lily), who live with Kate's new boyfriend, Gordon (Thomas McCarthy). Jackson takes his children on a camping trip to Yellowstone, where he meets Charlie Frost, who hosts a radio segment that addresses the Mayans' prediction. Charlie mentions a map of where special ships are, but Jackson assumes he is a rambling drunk and leaves him. Kate and Gordon and in a super market buying groceries when the floor begins to crack and the supermarket is split in half. Jackson gets a call that he has to return from camping with the kids. Jackson arrives at the house and drops the kids off, and takes his limo to a job. He goes to the house of Russian billionaire Yuri Karpov. Jackson takes Yuri, his children and his girlfriend to the airport. The children make cruel comments to Jackson, and as they board the plane, they mention they have tickets to board the ships and Jackson doesn't. This leads Jackson to believe Charlie's story, and he rents a plane. Jackson hurries to Kate's house and picks up her, the kids, and Gordon as the house collapses and a massive earthquake begins. They drive through L.A while it is being destroyed and arrive just in time at the airport.
When they get to Santa Monica Airport, the pilot that Jackson hires is killed by a falling structure. Kate mentions that Gordon knows how to fly (gordon protest's, he has only had a few lessons) so they tell him to fly the plane out of L.A. From the sky, we see L.A sinking into the Pacific Ocean. Jackson announces they have to get to Yellowstone to get the map from Charlie. They fly there and Jackson goes looking for Charlie. He finds his R.V and takes it out looking for Charlie, and he finds him at the top of a hill waiting for the impact. Charlie tells Jackson where the map is and he rushes back to the R.V as a massive explosion goes off, hurtling rocks in every direction. Jackson gets to the plane and they take off for China.
The group lands in Las Vegas and they meet Yuri. Yuri's plane is damaged, but he and Sasha, Yuri's pilot, find a cargo plane that carries automobiles. Las Vegas is destroyed by earthquakes and ravaged by the impeding volcanic ash cloud of Yellowstone. Yuri has 2 children and his girlfriend with him.
While in the air, the group learns that the plane does not have enough fuel to reach China: they've passed Honolulu, Hawaii, which has been inundated in lava. As they're about to ditch the plane they discover that they are no longer above the ocean: the Earth's crust has shifted thousands of miles and they are heading towards the Himalayas. During a crash landing on a glacier they manage to escape from the plane safely by using one of the luxury vehicles in cargo as a raft. The group ditches the car and a helicopter lands, they ask for tickets and Yuri shows his three tickets. He goes on the helicopters with his 2 children and leaves his girlfriend and the group behind.
The group eventually find their way to the ships with the help of some locals and are smuggled aboard with the help of a Buddhist monk and a construction worker. Gordon dies as they board. Tsunamis begin to engulf the Indian peninsula, and a giant wave eventually reaches the ships, which turn out to be arks constructed to save the heads of state, hand-picked indivials chosen to repopulate the earth and the rich elite, who could afford to buy tickets. A massive flood is heading towards the ship, and e to a wire left by Jackson in the ships gate, the gate isnt able to close, and the engines arent able to start. Jackson manages to get the gates closed just in time, and the ships cruise off. A title appears that says Day 27 Month 01 Year 01. The group is living on the ark, and Jackson and Kate seem to have gotten back together. The captain of the ship learns that Africa was able to miss catastrophe and is safe to venture too. The ship heads for Africa, and a view from space shows all continents have moved together and are in the shape of Africa.

I. 有關《2012》的英語電影評價 高中水平即可 謝謝了
2012 is actually an captivating film with some spectacular effects scenes. Cusack is great as the everyman hero. Ejiofor grabs your attention as the young government scientist trying to prepare for the inevitable. Glover and Harrison are also effective in smaller roles: Glover as the resolute President, and Harrison as the wackjob conspiracy theorist who might not be so crazy after all. Many other characters are merely stereotypes (like the Russian) or one dimensional (like the wife), but let's be honest, it's not the characters that we're coming to see. If you are, you'll probably be disappointed.
2012 is not great but it entertains as a doomsday thriller.

2012 is a 2009 science fiction disaster film based loosely on the 2012 phenomenon and directed by Roland Emmerich. The film stars John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Amanda Peet, Oliver Platt, Danny Glover, Thandie Newton, and Woody Harrelson. The film was distributed by Columbia Pictures. Filming began in August 2008 in Vancouver.
The film briefly references Mayanism, the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, and the 2012 phenomenon in its portrayal of cataclysmic events unfolding in the year 2012. Due to solar flare bombardment the Earth's core begins heating up at an unprecedented rate. This results in a series of Doomsday event scenarios plunging the world into chaos, such as California falling into the Pacific Ocean, the eruption of the Yellowstone National Park caldera, shifting of the continents by crustal displacement, Megatsunami impacts along every coast line on the Earth, and the flooding of the entire planet. The film centers around an ensemble cast of characters as they narrowly escape multiple catastrophes in an effort to reach ships in the Himalayas, along with scientists and governments of the world who are attempting to save as many lives as they can before the disasters ensue.
Reviews of the film have been mixed, with several critics pointing out the improbability of some of the Apocalyptic scenarios depicted in the film. The film also utilized a viral marketing campaign that has fallen under much criticism with the fictional organization Institute for Human Continuity, a fictitious book written by Jackson Curtis entitled Farewell Atlantis, and streaming media, blog updates and radio broadcasts from the apocalyptic zealot Charlie Frost at his website entitled This Is The End.
