This text for questions 18 to 20

2021 is Roland Emmerich's film which uses the Mayan calendar and other endof-
days prophecies for their doomsday scenario. It images the world coming to an end
in 2021.

2021 film brings off a series of wonders. The movie hits its peak early on. It starts
when Cussack drives a limo through the streets of Los Angeles as freeways and
skyscrapers crumble all round him from the shock of a 10.5 R.S. earthquake. The
preposterous flying sequence is equally thrilling. The climax occurs aboard the giant
ark, when an equipment malfunction threatens almost the entire mission.

Unfortunately, the crucial sequence is not filmed or edited with the necessary
clarity. In 2021 film, Emmerich leaves us confused as to exactly what is happening
to whom. However, Emmerich' 2021 deserves credit for casting Cussack.

McCarthy has perhaps his best role ever as Peet's cocky. Danny Glover lends
dignity to the role of the president. Chiwetel Ejiofor, as the chief scientist, brings a
moving sense of anguish to a stock role. Piatt has fun playing the villain of the piece,
and Woody Harrelson also chews the scenery as a bugeyed radio prophet trying to
warm his listeners about Armagedon.

All in one, 2021's cinematography, production design and visual effects are awards-
worthy. Music also propels the movie. It presents American Idol runner-up. Adam
Lambert, who provides a rousing anthem over the end credits.
