18 Genius Pieces Of Movie Exposition

Tell it like it is...

2012 (2009)

The Exposition: Charlie Frost: “Why don’t you download my blog? It's free. Of course, we do appreciate donations.”
 
Animation: “In ancient times, the Mayan people were the first civilisation to discover that this planet had an expiration date. According to their calendar in the year 2012, a cataclysmic event will unfold caused by an alignment of the planets in our solar system that only happens every 640,000 years. Oh, not again.”
 
Charlie Frost: “Pretty neat, huh? I did all the animation myself.” 
 
Animation: “Just imagine the Earth as an orange.”
 
Charlie Frost: “You lure them in with humour. Then you make them think.” 
 
Animation: “Our sun will begin to emit such extreme amounts of radiation..."
 
Charlie Frost: “Those little bastards are called neutrinos.” 
 
Animation: “...that the core of the Earth will melt. That's the inside part of the orange leaving the crust of our planet free to shift.” 
 
The Short Version: The world will end on 21 December 2012 because of a planetary alignment. 
 
Why It's Genius? In an utterly shameless piece of exposition, Woody Harrelson's crazy end-of-days DJ turns the Earth's destruction into a cutesy Flash animation.
 
Still, bringing the audience up to speed in super-quick time jogs the film ever closer to the CGI destruction.

      Im shocked that the Harry Potter Deathly Hallows part 1 animation about the 3 brothers/ Deathly Hallows is not there! that is awsome and could be a short film in its own right!

      I can not believe Back to the Future part 2 is't included. The Doc, a black board, a piece of chalk and an alternate 1985...classic!

      No it hasn't. No Indianapolis speech from Jaws? One of the greatest of them all.

      Ermmmmmmm freakshows - where on earth is the Prologue from the Lord of the Rings? The first 5 minutes of that is just stunning and sets up the trilogy perfectly! I also agree with Azazeal - The Tale of the Three Brothers is just a beautiful piece of cinema too!

      i def agree about harry potter and lord of the rings, but i found Serenity to be a great one, finding out the history of the alliance and the war in an actual history class then Wham! straight into Rivers situation and her escape, which once again turns out to be exposition as well
