Hmmm I don’t think I’ll watch this. But yes, you two look cute in that photo. :)

I enjoyed 2012 too when I saw it at the weekend.
I felt the ending was pretty drawn out and didn’t really like the cheesy ‘let’s clap for the man who basically doomed us in the first place’ moment, and I *really* didn’t like the huge factual GOOF about what the world would be like if Yellowstone’s caldera actually erupted. 27 days and they have bright and sunny weather? The ash from the eruption would block the sun out for years, lowering the earth’s temperature a large amount, killing off life (that had survived), and generally making the vast majority of the planet unlivable for a time.

This was one heck of a long movie, but don’t go in expecting to get emotionally invested in any of the characters – from about 10 mins in the action starts and wicked as special effects kick in and doesn’t stop for one second until the end!! Leaving not a lot of plot, or script – but who cares, when the acting and little script there is, is predictible and rubbish anyway.

I love John Cusack and he leaves it to his last sentence to deliver a funny line which given the lack of comedy due to all the destruction makes me belive it was improv.

Worth it for the special effects and not much else.

I was disappointed in 2012. Day after tomorrow is better. It was just too long and the acting was pretty bad.

Just a warning to anyone planning to see it: The movie is almost 3 hours long. I didn’t find it too difficult to sit through, but if your a fidgeter or something, be prepared.

Overall, I enjoyed it. John Cusack looks a lot like my uncle, so I had a couple of laughs imaging my uncle in these situations. The FX are great, but SO cheesy. The crack in the Sistine Chapel? SO bad. LoL. Great disaster cheese!

Totally agreed! Anyone going expecting to see Oscar-worthy performances (or even any semblance of decent acting) will be disappointed. But as a disaster movie oozing with cheese, I thought it was fantastic. As long as you don’t take it too seriously, you should have a great time.

P.S. Wyoming gets destroyed first in the blast, not Colorado. Have to rep my home state!

@CHASE — No one wowed me, not even Thandie Newton. Everyone’s acting was atrocious but it was fun to watch the world fall apart :)

I think I’m going to pass on this movie. John Cusack has been making some pretty bad movies lately. The special effects do look good though. But, I mean, the whole ship thing seems absurd. Trent, Amanda Peet didn’t wow you either?

Oh, and the special effects are not that great.

this was the worst movie I have seen in years!!! Save your money and just rent Day After Tomorrow and Deep Impact, the two movies it TRIES to copy.

I can’t wait to see this movie. I have heard the exact critique you just gave it a bunch of times. Hope you feel better. It is just that time of year.
