On the edge of my seat John Cusack entertainment. This flick was much better than I thought it was going to be. I knew it was going to be ridiculous, and it was (the disaster movie to end ALL disaster movies), but the 2nd half of the movie was actually fresh and incredibly inte...( read more)
Really enthralling story. It keeps you fixated from start to finish. Loved it!
Dont really care for disaster movies, and this was no exception, and despite the Star power, it was just a mess of CGI and a bad script.
What is with these doomsday movies?? I thought The Day After Tommorrow would be the last, but alas I was wrong... and here we are again with ...( read more)
Ok, I don't expect much more from Roland Emmerich than a bunch of stuff getting destroyed. He's good at it and that's about all he's good at.
Just like how with Michael Bay I expect big explosions, shiny cars and hot actors/-resses. And nothing more.
And just like how Michael...( read more)
Spoiler warning!!
This film was abit misleading I discovered at the end, I thought everyone was gonna leave the earth in a spacecraft for deep space, it turns out it was just an ark to sail on the ocean, strange seeing how you are lead to believe the earth is gonna virtually imp...( read more)

War of the Worlds meets The Day After Tomorrow. Without the aliens, of course.
Overall, the movie is laden with a lot of visual effects. Too many I think but overall not bad. Now, if you consider the physics of it, that's a whole other story. I don't t...( read more)

I want to see it because I think the world WILL end in 2012 and I want to see what it will be like
Very good disaster movie. Special effects wowed me. I love John Cusak anyway and he is great in this one! Woody plays his role really well as an absolute idiot! Want to see this one the big screen. Internet version is just ok.
2012 is so long, and its special effects are at once so outrageous and so thunderously predictable, that by the time I lurched from the theatre I felt that three years had actually passed and that the... full review
Why does Roland Emmerich enjoy killing off humanity? full review
This oafish epic about the End of Days -- as predicted by the Mayan calendar -- operates in a dead zone roughly equidistant between parody and idiocy. full review
The movie is an undeniable visual spectacle, but just as unequivocally a cheesy, ridiculous story. full review
Roland Emmerich is an apocalypse chef. In 2012 he cooks America till it boils, adding live meat to the process at judicious intervals. full review
Beware 2012, which works the dubious miracle of almost matching Transformers 2 for sheer, cynical, mind-numbing, time-wasting, money-draining, soul-sucking stupidity. full review
The effects are expensive-looking and impressive enough while you're watching them, although whatever awe they inspire doesn't last long: When you've seen one Washington Monument fall to bits, you've ... full review
People talk about "formula" almost always as a pejorative, but formulas get to be formulas because they work, and there's something to be said for a formula picture done almost to perfection. full review
Films of this sort are plotted shish kebab style: disaster, change of scenery, new disaster. But on the level of spectacle, 2012 is top-notch. full review
Watch at Dalster com all videos working, you do have to fill out a quick survey, but It's well worth the 30 seconds.
it's the greatest movie i've ever seen !
el 3ama ma ajmalo !
it's really an amazing movie ! wow
and he's really a wonderful director! :P
This movie is very stupid because the world is not going to come to an end in 2012, Not even jesus the son of God is going to know when, so they need to stop all their petty allegations and just trust in the word of God. For all we know it could be tomorrow or the day after and so on, no one except God himself knows and they will pay for all this blasphemey they are bringing to Gods name and the way they are leading Gods people astray. (Proverbs 28:10); Whoso causeth the righteous to astray in an evil way he shall fall himself into his own pit but the upright shall have good things in possession. And whether they believe it or not God is real and all man would have to give an account to him for everything they ever said or done whether it is good or bad.
found this movie over at http://dalster.com after doing that quick little survey thing.
Wow. It sounds a little bit idiotic in my mind... I don't know. One of my friends was on MSN with me while watching this and was telling me how bad it was and how much he hated it and almost laughed because it was so ridiculous.
"OF COURSE SOME RELIGIOUS LADY TELLS EVERYONE TO GO TO A TEMPLE! THE WORLD'S ENDING OF COURSE THAT'S GOING TO HELP!"
I definitely do not want to see this movie. It sounds ridiculous.
first off yes very good effects has you on the edge of your seat....but the hole reason i hated this film is because 1 just the media and fear mongers alone have struck fear into so many peoples hearts especially children that are worried about the end of the world and then this? a major block buster? just for amusement? hollywood is starting to loose all sense of morality....my 7 year old brother came home from school scared about this topic.....roland emmerich should be ashamed and if this does happen kick his ass off the boat take care
This year's wonderful mega block buster movie and the only movie i can say and i can point out by arguing with the whole world cinema is this film 2012... What a production and what a roles for everyone who acted and what kinda joints between the roles into the whole film... They started this film in India and by that way am really proud to see this film because its my country... and They finishes it by showing only Africa and it made me to think about the world's reconstructions by the nature... wow it was tremendous effort for the whole unit who worked in this film and there was a thin back line tag story into this film and that is the LOVE AMONG HUMANITY...It was a great feel to watch this movie in big screen and yes they have shown the masters destruction all among the world... wow the Tsunami and the earth quakes the volcano's wow wow wow the spaceships that was great and i was speechless when i see this movie with my friends in the big screen it hit the whole audience as those destruction's comes into the theater it was the real feelings to watch this kinda picture the digital sounds and graphics have been used as masters and it never been seemed that they used graphics because the airplanes the whole city and the whole world they have shown in such a wonderful way... Thanks and i salute to all those who have taken much efforts to make this film out to the universe and thanks to the producers and the director Rolland Emmerich he proved once again he is the master... In one word 2012 is "FABULOUS"....
