Description

In Roland Emmerich’s 2009 disaster film 2012, geologist Adrian Helmsley discovers that unusual solar activity is destabilizing Earth’s interior. Governments quietly prepare a limited-capacity survival project while the public remains unaware. In Los Angeles, divorced novelist and limousine driver Jackson Curtis learns that a seemingly eccentric warning about a global catastrophe may be true, forcing him to reach his former wife Kate and their children before the city collapses around them.

Jackson’s attempt to keep his family together becomes a race across a rapidly changing world, intersecting with Helmsley’s effort to preserve more than just the politically connected. The film combines large-scale destruction with questions about who receives advance warning, who is selected for rescue and whether survival can be separated from moral responsibility. John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Amanda Peet, Oliver Platt, Thandiwe Newton, Danny Glover and Woody Harrelson lead the ensemble.

Riddick (2013), which previously was titled as The Chronicles of Riddick: Dead Man Stalking is the third movie of the Riddick franchise. The first one was low budget Pitch Black, which was filmed in 2000. This film gave a start both for The Chronicles of Riddick franchise and Vin Diesel career. The movie was a "sleeper hit" grossing over US$53 million in theaters with budget less than US$23 million. The second film in the franchise, The Chronicles of Riddick was less successful in profits: it generated over US$115 million with budget around US$100 million, but met mostly positive audience feedback, although critics met it with tepid reviews. Nevertheless, the third movie is aimed to repeat the success of the first film: it has relatively low budget grossing around US$38 million. The story of the Riddick (2013) revolves around the antihero, Richard B. Riddick. He is left on the scorched planet inhabited by alien predators. When he manages to activate an alarm beacon, it attracts the attention of two spaceships. The first one carries the hordes of thugs hired to kill Riddick, while the second one is captained by the man well known to him. Uncommon intelligence and inhuman strength help Riddick to use these guests to get away from the planet, commit an act of retaliation and rescue the people of his homeworld planet Furya from mass destruction.
