Editorial Review: Product Description: "As the world faces a catastrophe of apocalyptic proportions, cities collapse and continents crumble. 2012 brings an end to the world and tells of the Amazon.com: Now this is how you destroy the world. Roland Emmerich's 2012 pounces on a Nostradamus-style loophole in the Mayan calendar and rams the apocalypse through it, gleefully conjuring up an enormous amount of Saturday-matinee fun in the process. A scientist (Chiwetel Ejiofor) detects shifting continental plates and sun flares and realizes that this foretells the imminent destruction of the planet. Just as the molten lava is about to hit the fan, a novelist (John Cusack) takes his kids on a trip to Yellowstone; later he'll hook up with his ex (Amanda Peet) and her new boyfriend (Tom McCarthy) in a global journey toward safety. If there is any safety. The suitably hair-raising plot lines are punctuated--frequently, people, frequently--by visions of mayhem around the globe: the Vatican falls over, the White House is clobbered (Emmerich's Independence Day was not enough on that score), and the California coastline dives into the Pacific Ocean. Unlike other action directors we could name, Emmerich actually understands how to let you see and drink in these vast special-effects vistas--and they are incredible. He also honors the old Irwin Allen disaster-movie tradition by actually shelling out for good actors. Cusack and Ejiofor are convincing even in the cheesiest material; toss in Danny Glover (the U.S. president), Woody Harrelson (a nut-bar conspiracy-theorizing radio host), Thandie Newton, and Oliver Platt, and you've got a very watchable batch of people. Emmerich hasn't developed an ear for dialogue, even at this stage in his career, and the final act goes on a bit too long. This is a very silly movie, but if you've got a weakness for B-movie energy and hairbreadth escapes, 2012 delivers quite a bit of both. --Robert Horton Stills from 2012 (Click for larger image)
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Faint praise: I didn't turn it off...I am going to keep this short. This was not the worst movie I have ever seen, however it was pretty bad. The story line was... well... ridiculous. The special effects were too over the top. Throughout the entire film I kept thinking the effects, while on one level were impressive, they were so unrealistic that they suspended my 'suspension of disbelief'. The movie really did deserve one star, but as I recently sat through "Furry Vengeance" I could not in good conscience lump it at the same level. Rating:  - PatheticTake some of the most extreme liberal hack actors -- Danny Glover, John Cusack, Woody Harrelson -- the director of the liberal "disaster" film "The Day After Tomorrow" (both in genre and boxoffice, as well as in critical acclaim), add liberal cliches and platitudes for a script, stir in CG effects that are nonsensical (a car driving unimpededly right through the concrete columns of a crumbling building, and a plane flying unimpededly through tons of falling rubble from 2 collapsing skyscrapers) and ...

I watched this movie and I didnt expect much from the makers of godzilla circa 1998 but I was pleasantly surprised. But I got linked to sites like [...] and I"m starting to be a believer myself. Rating: - 2012This movie is so bad I rather see the 70's Disaster Films like Earthquake,Airport etc. than have to sit through this,and you have Danny"I sold my soul to chavez" Glover who got millions of dollars from Venezuela to work on a Movie as of this writing,and he is the president in the movie(talk about irony a communist in power)Now the Movie what did I find wrong with it?besides playing on Fears of a person ooh the world is going to end cause the Mayans said so and where are they now? The World has been ... Read More Rating: - GOOD TO GREAT SPECIAL EFFECTS; STORY IS MEDIOCRE TO AVERAGEThe director of INDEPENDENCE DAY tries to bring us another disaster blockbuster picture, though, this one doesn't quite hit the mark in storytelling. It did well at the box office so expect a sequel or spin off. Tale focuses on several main and subplot stories taking place as the Earth's core prepares to destroy the planet. There are a ton of awesome special effects in this picture and that's what pushed it up to a three star. The story is mediocre to poor in certain places with some high points ... Read More
