❶ 介紹電影《2012》英語文章
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

❸ 電影2012英文簡介
2012 is a science fiction drama disaster film, directed by Roland Emmerich and released in 2009. The film stars John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Amanda Peet, Oliver Platt, Danny Glover, Thandie Newton and Woody Harrelson. It 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. Because of solar flare bombardment the Earth's core begins heating up at an unprecedented rate, eventually causing crustal displacement. This results in an onslaught of Doomsday event scenarios plunging the world into chaos. Ranging from Los Angeles falling into the Pacific Ocean, the eruption of the Yellowstone National Park caldera, cataclysmic earthquakes wreaking havoc around the globe, and Megatsunamis surging across 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. The film was promoted in a marketing campaign by a fictional organization, the "Institute for Human Continuity"; this entailed 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. This campaign was subjected to numerous criticisms, and was regarded as a form of viral marketing. The film received mixed to negative reviews but topped the international box office in its first weekend with $450 million. It ultimately grossed 767,581,683 worldwide becoming Roland Emmerich's second highest grossing film behind Independence Day. Plot 情節 In 2009, American geologist Adrian Helmsley learns from a colleague, Dr. Satnam Tsurtuani, at an underground copper mine in India that neutrinos from a massive solar flare are acting as microwave radiation, causing the temperature of the Earth's core to increase rapidly. Adrian informs White House Chief of Staff Carl Anheuser and US President Thomas Wilson that this will trigger a catastrophic chain of natural disasters. At the G8 summit in 2010, other heads of state and heads of government are made aware of the situation. They begin a massive, secret project intended to ensure the survival of humanity. Approximately 400,000 people are chosen to board a series of ships (called arks) to be constructed in the Himalayas. The majority of tickets aboard the ships are reserved for heads of state, government officials and selected indivials chosen for their skills, while additional funding for the project is raised by selling tickets to the private sector at the price of 1 billion euros per person. In 2012, Jackson Curtis is a writer in Los Angeles who works part-time as a limousine driver for Russian billionaire Yuri Karpov. Jackson's ex-wife Kate and their children Noah and Lilly live with her boyfriend, plastic surgeon and amateur pilot Gordon Silberman. Jackson takes Noah and Lily on a camping trip to Yellowstone National Park, where they meet Charlie Frost, a conspiracy theorist living as a hermit and hosting a radio show from the park. Charlie references a theory that suggests the Mayans predicted the world would come to an end in 2012, and claims he has knowledge and a map of the secret ark project. The family returns home as cracks develop along the San Andreas Fault in California and large earthquakes occur in many places along the West Coast. Jackson grows suspicious and rents a plane to rescue his family. He collects his family and Gordon when the Earth's crust displacement begins and they narrowly escape Los Angeles as it collapses into the Pacific Ocean. As millions die in cataclysmic earthquakes worldwide, the group flies to Yellowstone to retrieve Charlie's map. After retrieving the map, the group narrowly escapes as the Yellowstone Caldera erupts. Charlie, who stayed behind to broadcast the eruption, is killed in the blast. Learning that the arks are in China, the group lands in Las Vegas, where they meet Yuri, his sons, girlfriend Tamara, and pilot Sasha. They join the group and secure an Antonov 225 aircraft, fleeing just as Las Vegas is destroyed. Also bound for the arks aboard Air Force One are Anheuser, Adrian, and First Daughter Laura Wilson. President Wilson chooses to remain in Washington D.C., and is soon killed by a mega tsunami that sends the USS John F. Kennedy crashing into the White House. With the Vice President also dead and the Speaker of the House missing, Anheuser takes over as acting president. Arriving in China in a crash-landing that kills Sasha, the group is spotted by the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Yuri and his sons, possessing tickets, are taken to the ships. The Curtis family, Gordon, and Tamara, who do not have tickets, are picked up by Nima, a Buddhist monk on his way to the arks. They stowaway aboard an ark with the help of Nima's brother Tenzin, who has been working on the ark project. A mega tsunami approaches the site as tens of thousands are still attempting to board the final ark, and a large impact driver becomes lodged between the gears of the ark's hydraulics chamber, preventing a boarding gate from closing and rendering the ship unable to start its engines. In the ensuing chaos, Yuri, Gordon, and Tamara are killed, and the flooded ark is set adrift. Jackson and Noah free the impact driver from the closing mechanism, and the crew regains control of the ark, preventing a fatal collision with Mount Everest. When the global floodwater from the tsunamis eventually recedes, satellite data shows that Africa's elevation rose in relation to sea level, and the Drakensberg mountains in KwaZulu Natal are now the highest on the planet. The scientists are sure that the rest of the land on earth will soon rise above sea level, too. As three arks set sail for the Cape of Good Hope, Jackson reconciles with his family and Adrian starts a relationship with Laura. The movie ends with a view of the Earth from space, showing a vastly different continental landscape. 希望幫到你啦~

I think,it will be, for its audiences, one of the most satisfactory films of the year and it really can be called the "mother of all disaster movies".
❻ 2012 三部電影英文名都是什麼都是哪年上映的
偶現在告訴你，真正的、正宗的《2012》沒有英文名，只有數字，就是「2012」，這個片名凡是在電影院看過電影的人都知道，影片就是這四個數字，沒有任何英文副標題。
因此，你所說的三部電影，另外兩部是假貨，也即山寨貨，其中一部叫《2012世界末日》，是2008年由英國人拍的一部電視電影，另一部叫《2012地球毀滅》，是美國人拍的另一部電視電影，2007年的貨色，總之，都不是正宗貨，這兩部片子，成本低，特效粗糙，沒有任何可看性，不要上當了。
不過另外告訴你一個消息，當2012年真正到來時，可能還會有另一部關於「2012」的片子上映，這片子目前還沒有開拍，是由夢工廠出品的，據說導演就是執導了《變形金剛》的邁克爾·貝，這片子目前連片名都沒有確定下來，但如果它真上映了，那也算是正宗的，只是題材撞車了而已

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.

The Mayans predict the world is ending on December 21st, 2012. The government hides the end of days and once the secret is out, it』s a mad race to survival headquarters。
It』s clear, 2012 is no Independence Day or The Day After Tomorrow, two films that were directed by Roland Emmerich, who also directed this film. 2012 is another tale of global destruction that we have all witnessed before, but this time it』s padded with Sony PSP-like special effects, not-even-bad-enough-to-be-camp dialogue and a nap-incing running time of 158 minutes. 2012 is a gargantuan mess.

To help fund the venture, additional indivials are allowed to purchase tickets for one billion euros apiece.
In 2012, Jackson Curtis (John Cusack) is a writer in Los Angeles who works part time as a limousine driver for Russian billionaire Yuri Karpov. Jackson's ex-wife Kate (Amanda Peet) and their children Noah and Lily live with her new boyfriend, plastic surgeon and amateur pilot Gordon. Jackson takes Noah and Lily on a camping trip to Yellowstone National Park, where they meet Charlie Frost, a radio show host and conspiracy theorist. Charlie supports a theory that suggests the Mayans predicted the world would come to an end in 2012, and claims he has knowledge of the ark project and possesses a map of the arks' location. The family returns home as cracks begin to develop along the San Andreas Fault in California and earthquakes occur in the San Francisco Bay area. Jackson grows suspicious and rents a private plane to rescue his family. He collects his family and Gordon when the Earth's crust displacement begins and they escape Los Angeles as it collapses into the Pacific Ocean.
As millions begin dying in apocalyptic earthquakes worldwide, the group flies to Yellowstone to retrieve Charlie's map. The group narrowly escapes as the Yellowstone Caldera erupts. Charlie, who stayed behind to make a live broadcast of the eruption, is killed by the blast. Realizing the arks are in China, the group lands in Las Vegas, where they meet Yuri, his twin sons, girlfriend Tamara, and pilot Sasha. They join the group and secure a larger plane, the Antonov An-225, to head across the Pacific. Also bound for the arks aboard Air Force One are Anheuser, Adrian, and First Daughter Laura Wilson. President Wilson remained in Washington D.C. to address the nation one last time. He is soon killed by a tsunami that sends the USS John F. Kennedy crashing into the White House. With the Vice President dead and the Speaker of the House missing, Anheuser appoints himself acting Commander-in-Chief.
Sasha discovers that the plane doesnt have enough fuel to get to china, so they have to make a crash landing in the ocean. But as they get near the ground, they discover that they are indeed in china. The earths crusts have shifted.
Yuri, who has purchased ark tickets for himself and his sons, deserts the Curtis family, Gordon, and Tamara upon arriving in China. However, the abandoned group is picked up by Nima, a Buddhist monk. Together, they begin sneaking onto an ark through its hydraulics chamber with the help of Nima's brother Tenzin, a welder for the ark project. In his last moments, Satnam calls Adrian to inform him that a tsunami is engulfing India and heading towards the arks. Learning of this, Anheuser orders the arks be sealed before the boarding process is complete, trapping thousands outside. Adrian manages to convince the other G8 leaders to let the remaining people on board. As the ark's tailgate is lowered, Gordon is killed when he falls in between the gears, followed by Tenzin's large electrical power drill. Yuri sacrifices his life to get his two sons on in time, but the obstruction prevents the gate from closing, rendering the ship unable to start its engines. The tsunami arrives and begins to flood the ark, drowning Tamara and setting the ark helplessly adrift. Jackson and Noah work together to free the drill and its cable from the closing mechanism. The gate closes and the crew regains control of the ark, preventing a fatal collision with Mount Everest.
A title appears that says "Day 27 Month 00 Year 00"
When the floodwater from the worldwide tsunamis eventually recedes, satellite data shows that Africa rose in relation to sea level, and its Drakensberg mountains are now the highest on the planet. As the arks set sail for the Cape of Good Hope, Jackson reconciles with his family, and Adrian starts a relationship with Laura. The movie ends with a view of the Earth revealing all continents have merged, and are in the shape of the African continent.
在2009年，一位美國科學家Adrian Helmsley博士被捲入一個在印度的研究項目，在其中，他的同事薩坦姆發現了一個十分神秘但令人震驚的真相:太陽表層風暴正在對地球產生著足以致命的影響。之後，博士聯絡了他的一位朋友赫斯里——他也是一位年輕的總統科學顧問，並傳達了這場駭人的消息。赫斯里試圖向總統報告這一令人不安的發現，但卻被他長期不受待見的安修斯——自付狂妄的白宮管理部部長 所不了了之了。
自此到了2010年，總統開始意識到一些徵兆的發生，便召集8國集團的成員國舉行在西班牙的秘密磋商，而他要告訴其他領導人的事實是：世界最頂尖的科學家已經承認世界正在走向消亡。期間，我國偉大的PLA正在西）藏）進行著浩瀚的大工程--遷徙所有的村莊和人口，並建造一個超級大水壩。
到了2011年，更多令人費解的現象愈演愈烈，一個極其富有的沙特商人，決定捐出超過10億美元給英國軍/情/6/處和世界文化遺產基金會（其會長即總統的女兒勞拉），把許多傳世珍寶如《蒙娜麗莎的微笑》用贗品替換，並把真跡都貯藏在位於阿爾卑斯山的秘密倉庫。
中遇到了2012年，走向毀滅的步伐徑直向前……美國西海岸出現了許多「小型地震」，在世界各地冒出許多地裂的徵兆。盡管如此，人們依然一如既往著日常生活，並對即將到來的災難毫無察覺。其中我們的主角傑克遜，一位熱情並清醒的作家，正開著車去接他在位於洛杉磯的前妻的兩個孩子，莉莉和諾亞 ，並打算帶著他們去黃石國家公園進行露營。但當他看到他前妻的現任丈夫——高高掛起的整形大夫高登，他所期待的那份和自己孩子重新團聚的欣喜之情一下冷卻了下來。接著鏡頭轉到了一位老爵士音樂家哈瑞，他既是那位總統科學顧問赫斯里的父親，正當他在舊金山一海岸邊的游輪上表演途中，他試圖說服他的樂隊老友托尼給他遠在日本並與之不和的兒子打個電話的時候，突然整艘游輪北海底冒出劇烈的力量徹底掀翻……鏡頭轉到華盛頓，當總統的女兒勞拉接到一個來自法國的抓狂的博物館館長的電話時，那位館長怒斥她所在的基金會是徹頭徹尾的騙子時，館長所在的轎車突然爆炸了。勞拉逐漸意識到她被某個勢力利用了，而一系列的背後操縱者恰恰就是他父親和科學顧問赫斯里。
期間，當作家傑克遜帶著他的孩子最終抵達黃石的時候，他們發現所在區域已經被封鎖，而沒有人能夠告訴他們到底是怎麼回事。傑克遜剛好碰到了一位熱衷爆料的電台主持人，這個怪人相信毀滅將從加州開始，遍及黃石，最後全世界。傑克遜開始將信將疑，但事實告訴他洛杉磯出現的越來越多的裂開的地縫已經開始越變越大，一發不可收拾。
事情越來越糟，並且已無法預料的速度進行著……關於真相的暗示也逐漸浮出水面——世界的精英和有錢人正在建造一個巨型的大船，而裡面藏著人類能夠擁有的足夠物質，直到災難結束，只有船里的人會重新出來重建文明，繁衍人類。剩下的人都將被浩劫洗劫，簡單的來說，這將是挪亞方舟的翻版。
接下來就是暴露的5分鍾的超常片斷，傑克遜開車趕回洛杉磯，把他的前妻和其現任丈夫都接走，並開著飛機逃離了已經被徹底毀滅的洛杉磯。出人意料的是，傑克遜絕對輾轉回到黃石，以找到那個「瘋子電台主持人」，並希望能夠從他的口中得到能夠倖存的方法。但是令人無法想像的是，當他們剛抵達黃石，黃石早已成為了世界最大的活火山。同時，那些自作聰明的精英們准備開始計劃好的方舟計劃……
最後地震，海嘯，火山爆發，火山灰……我們的主角們開始了逃亡的全球之旅……還記得我國的大壩么？其真正的目的其實是……………………最後，全球將被淹沒在一片浩瀚的汪洋中，能否倖存？生死未卜！
