2012

1 week people.

I got into a fight with my best friend over this movie. He claims it looks retarded, but then I reminded him that "Grandmas Boy" was his favorite movie for a year.

I won.

Seen a review for this the guy gave it 4 stars but it seems like it was more of comedy for him the way some of the lines are delivered.

Besides the "retarded" end of the world aspect, they'll be a love story, human bonding in the face of peril, probably some warming moment with a loved pet or animal and some measure of redemption for the human race.

Yeah but in my eyes it's for the average theatergoer who will pay to get into "dance flick" and "disaster movie." Something that doesn't challenge anyone intellectually, in the least bit.. and if anything, makes them dumber for seeing.

i can't believe you just compared those two movies to any other movie. at all. they were unbelievably shite. at least 2012 has the possibility of being some good popcorn fun.

Not every film in the world has to challenge people intellectually, there are films to watch just for fun entertainment. Just because people see a film to admire the effects and have entertaining fun while watching it doesn't mean they are dumb or an 'average' cinema person. There are other films to 'challege people intellectually'...

Hi..
Its really good trailer and i am eagerly watching for the movie.. I think Nicolus cage gonna to rock in the movie...

Hey wow... It's released now.
I was so excited to watch this movie and this weekend I have planned it with my friends for watching it.

This was a mediocre disaster movie. Nothing more.

Effects were okay. Seen better, though.

I am just going for the ride thats all......popcorn flick.

Just saw this.....I agree with Backfire.

It wasnt anything special.....It had no edge....nothing to keep me instrested or on the edge of my seat.

Other people were clapping at the end and at one point in the middle of the movie also.

Good actors though.

Honestly , I'm just going to pass on this. I really have no desire to see this in theaters . How many disaster movies about the same damm thing can one watch?

i liked it. minus the kids i felt that all the actors were likable in their roles and the dialogue and interaction were decent so actually it exceeded my expectations in that regard. The cgi was meh though.

Really? It looked pretty impressive in the trailer on t.v. Not enough to get me to wanna spend 10 bucks too see it , . . .but just saying.

this was very disappointing... The Day After Tomorrow was MUCH better

Yup.

Some things 2012 was ok, but yes The Day After Tomorrow is a more thrilling movie.

Just got back from watching this. There was too much waffling and drama for me, nearly all the disaster effects could be seen in trailers, they were few and far between. In fact the first half an hour I nearly fell asleep it was that boring.

Not to mention the illogical far fetched storyline, ok you could say "its sci fi movie so what do you expect" but I like to have the story at least a bit believable.

All in all I´d give it a 7 overall, the "day after tomorrow" & "independence day" were better

No love for Stargate or 10,000 B.C.

Stargate was one of my all time favorites, 10,000 BC was a bit illogical but also good.

But they are different sort of movies than "2012" which is more like the ones I mentioned.
