I watched this on premiere but I really don't have time posting the review because of the 9 subjects I've been studying all month long...
2012 is a disaster movie based on the myth that the world will come to an end in 2012 (Don't panic, it is really a myth, no science has yet to prove that), and loosely referred to the Mayan prophecy. The cast is basically made up of actors and actresses I never heard before, besides John Cusack, but in the end, the cast and their acting never got any big impact on these kind of movies anyway.
The plot is pretty much dumb, it's like the director have I-don't-what-you-think-of-the-story moment when he wrote it. So, the plot and story pretty much revealed at the trailers and the beginning of the movie, the world will end, many people die, most of the cast survive the freaking disaster... Anyone wants Academy Award winning potential movie? No, this is not for you...
What is the main recipe for a disaster movie? Hmmm... Oh, disasters!!! Well, the director, Roland Emmerich (disaster movies expert) has gone great length to make the disasters in 2012 so epic in sizes, the whole city came down, tsunamis all over the place blah, blah, blah... I am impressed with what I saw in the theathers, because I am a disaster movies fan. I like disaster movies because I like the whole city torn apart and the world is in chaos, those scenarios are never gonna happen in that size and disaster movies fueled my imagination. And the best part is, the size of the disasters in this movie might be the biggest yet in motion picture history. With good CGI touch, unbelievable...
So, in the end, nothing matter in disaster movies... Just disasters with enormous size is going to satisfy viewers. With disasters at it biggest size yet, the biggest disaster porn so far...
Verdict: 4/5
