2012

I'm often surprised by the reviews and ratings this movie get's, if you accept it for what it is. It's actually really good.

Terrible, terrible, terrible. Graphics are embarrassing just do not bother.

I know some of the reviews of 2012 are not that great but for me this is the ultimate disater film.

I've seen numerous disater films down the years(Armageddon,Dante's Peak,Day After Tomorrow,Deep Impact,Independance Day and Volcano)some of them more mixed than others but this quickley became the best one yet.

The film starts off with a huge solar storm from space heat up the Earth from within,not long after the planet starts to crack within.

Gigantic earthquakes start to destroy alot of Earths big citys including a massive one in California that sees alot fall into the Pacific ocean(even though John Cusack and his family manage to outrun the chaos in a Rolls Royce car)and it blows you away seeing all them citys disappear into the ground but also very frightening to see it hoping that it never comes true.

But the big set pice of the whole movie comes about 20 minutes later at Yellowstone's national park in California when the monstrous caldera(supervolcano)underneath the park erupts with enourmous fury setting off the biggest volcanic eruption in history,the force and power of it blew me away and gave me goosebumps at the cinema,all the other people there were blown away too and of all my years of film watching i have never seen anything like it(it was like 30 to 40 volcanos going off at once.

The rest of the movie slows down a bit after that and can't get to the heights of the first hour and a half though there are some very good moments inluding a huge tidal wave turning a cruise ship over reminisant of The Poseiden Adventure and a massive tsunami crashing into Washighton DC.

I LOVE this film. I think it's amazing. I started watching the beginning and I got bored and switched it off. Then another day I caught a bit of the middle of the film and got so into it, I decided to give it another try! I loved it, it's really an amazing film.

A terrible film! the special effects are the only thing that work in its favour. This cannot save the film though, as the acting is terrible; i was suprised to see woody harrelson apprear in the movie, playing an offbeat charcter. Although he is soon put out of his misery. I left the cinema a little frustrated having spend my time and money on a film that pitched an intersting idea, about the world ending during the year 2012, having been predicted by the Aztecs. The delivery is terrible though. Having established some sort of premise, the director quickly gives up following any narrative or character development, instead throwing special effects at the viewer in an attempt to distract them from lack of content in what is a woeful piece of cinema that they are being subjected to.

Bascially, dont bother considering this film.

the movie kept me on the edge of my seat, but it all got a bit 'oh god here we go again!'i guess its an ok movie to kill two hours with - if you've really got nothing better to do - really!

this was by far the best film i have ever seen, it was excting, intresting and full of suprises.

it was very lenghy but it didnt bother me at all,

it was a little emotional in parts, wich made it all the more heart warming!

althoug it was much bigger seeing it on the big screen rather than on a home tv's

a truy amazing spectacle

and well worth waching

A good disaster movie but a bit long at 2 1/2 hours. It takes a while to set the scene. A scientist realises that sun flares are going to destroy the earth. The story revolves around the governments getting their act together to save as many (rich) people as possible. John Cusack is a writer and he is trying to get his family to safety. Some great special effects if you can suspend belief. An entertaining film.

A movie that can be enjoyed only on big screen.

Main Character:

1) John Cusack as Jackson Curtis, a science fiction book writer

2) Amanda Peet as Kate Curtis, Jackson's ex-wife

3) Woody Harrelson as Charlie Frost, a conspiracy theorist disguised as Yellowstone hermit who prophesies the end of the world and is considered crazy by others.

Its when jackson meets Frost that he realises that the earth is coming to an end. so he tries to save his family.

Amazing graphics.

Moreover many scholars have been arguing over the idea that a catastrophe will happen in 2012.

I guess we will have to wait and see

I was left pretty disappointed after watching 2012. After witnessing all the hype during its release, I was really looking forward to watching this movie.

The story line is so ridiculously unbelievable and farfetched I ended up laughing throughout a couple of scenes. So over-the-top, this film takes the disaster movie pretty much as far as it can go!

The story at times just doesn't make sense and while the actors do their best, they are, inevitably, forgotten when the action scenes and CGI graphics take over the movie.

In between the explosions and quakes you sometimes hear bits of the cheesy script, and then wish you hadn't. If you're after an ALL action apocalyptic, all exploding movie, then this is for you... if you're after a movie which also includes a story line... than I'd dodge this one.
