The special effects were brilliant. The acting and writing was cheese pure cheese, but it's Emmerch so what do you expect Clint Eastwood. You see his movies for the action, and to see shit get the fuck blown up. And that lady and gentlemen is what you get. Hell yeah it's cliche, but how do you make a movie like this thats not cliche. I think the only one I saw so far that really isn't all that cliche is Knowing. But it was still a good movie. I liked it a lot I got what I paid for.
Typical american brainless movie, no sccript, TOTALLY CLICHE, i've never seen a movie with so many cliches like this one... Stupid, very stupid and ridiculous. The effects were good (the only thing).
Visually AWESOME. I did feel like I thought about what I would change in the movie though but it was good.

An visually exciting and thrilling disaster flick that was unrelenting when it came to total destruction, which made the runtime go by in a flash. On the downside it was all too familiar with not a strong enough script, plot/story or characters to make it rise above and be on top of all the other disaster/end of the world flicks of the past and to be honest that made it not as involving this time around. I thought the acting was ok but not the greatest but I do think Chiwetel Ejiofor who played Adrian Helmsley was the standout actor here. The special effects are the star of this movie and is the only thing that makes this film watchable, without it the film would of been a complete dud, still it was better than the director's other film The Day After Tomorrow but to me the best disaster/end of the world movie of 2009 will have to be Knowing. Overall the previews pretty much show most of the best parts of the movie and unfortunately it's not the disaster flick we've all been waiting for and they just didn't add anything fresh or eventful to that particular genre, but as far as popcorn flicks go it's decent and worth at least one viewing.

A dumb and high paced destruction spectacular! That describes this movie pretty well. The plot is thin, a bit like the plot of "The Day After Tomorrow". The action is over the top, and the acting is fun at times.
If you love disaster movies like "The Day After Tomorrow", "Independents day" and "Godzilla" you wont be disappointing with this movie. The pacing is high, and there is only very little whining about the catastrophy (unlike the in shitty Armageddon". The movie is pretty much a big explosion of effects, where the the characters are only secondary. Try to listen to their hilariously bad accents, lol!
You wont leave the theater feeling dissapointed since the movie is entertaining at all times. But you wont be blown away, since the movie has no originality at all.

Make no mistake about this film it is a gargantually...retarted movie. It may be one of the worst movies I've ever seen in fact but I still managed to have a pretty good time. I know many of you will be saying well what did you expect it's from the director of Day After Tomorrow, Independence Day, Stargate, 10,000 BC, The Patriot and Universal Soldier. All for which I can say I enjoyed some much more than others. To me his films have always been fine tuned popcorn machines. The truth about 2012 is it's kind of a mess and I don't think he's ever really made a bad movie, this is a bad movie. If your not getting the jist of what I'm trying to say let's put it this way for those of you who had problems with XXX being unrealistic beware. Because this is the most jaw droppingly silly film ever made. What's it about? Basically the prophecy of world apocalypse from the Mayan civilization brutally ripped apart and dumbed down by the Hollywood machine. You don't care about any of the charachters well except for Jimi Mistry, oddly enough. The acting is mediocre(John Cusack) to horrendous (Amanda Peet) and there are just some really weird ones thrown in (Woody Harrelson). The visual effects are striking at times and really cheestastic at others. The green screen is so majorly overused too much in this film. What the film does have to offer is an admirable devotion to its stupidity which makes the proceedings at times to be so extremely entertaining. In fact for most of the film I was pretty much on board. The LA scene outlined in the trailer and Tv spots isn't really suspenseful but it's shockingly fun. But in it's ponderous last 40 mins it lost me mainly with an unintentionally laughable moment with a stereotypical Russian thug and a flying kid. And it's a moment that will be remembered forever. It's in that moment that I realized that nothing can really, truly redeem this film from it's obsurdity and length. So with that I say that I'm happy that I saw it and may peek again on DVD just for a few scenes but another full viewing the future does not hold. All in all not the disturbing impact you'd effect but if anything discourages any realistic fear aligned with prophecy altogether.
