Independence Day, Day After Tomorrow, Godzilla...Nobody but Nobody does end-of-the-world mass destruction like Roland Emmerich. The man has certainly found his niche. He has a formula, and 2012 is no different. It essentially boils down to 30 minutes of character setup ...( read more)

In his book Apocalypse Movies: End of the World Cinema, author Kim Newman noted that "The more complicated a civilization becomes, the more fun it is to imagine the whole works going up in flames". Roland
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!
Here, Roland Emmerich destroyed the Earth bigtime! This is by far the most disastrous film.. well.. in cinematic sense.. (I think "Knowing" is far more destructive and the world actually ended with zero survivor.. well.. except for those two kids.. and a bunch of aliens)
Visually...( read more)
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
NI YO QUE SOY MEXICANA CREO EN ESA PROFECIA DE LOS MAYAS NO SE COMO LA DEMAS GENTE SE SUGESTIONA,PERO LO QUE ADMIRO ES LA IMAGINACION DE LOS PRODUCTORES DE 2012
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
