I watched this last night for the first time and thought it was a visualy stunning movie and thought the film itself was great. Imo it wipes the floor with The Day After Tomorrow and it is definatly the best disaster flick I have seen in a long time.

My Review
2012

We Were Warned.....About How Crappy This Movie Is.
2012 is a jumbled mess of a film. Roland Emmerich stated that for his last disaster flick he wanted to make it so that no other disaster flick could come after it. Well, mission accomplished because I don't want to see anymore. Upping the disaster scale to the entire world might do well for the special effects guys, buy not the paying viewer.

This looked absolutely horrendous, but that could be my utter hatred for the whole idea of the 2012 prophecy.

I love the movie and the concept.The film received mixed reviews from critics, but topped the international box office in its first weekend.
I don't know if this is against the rules to bump old threads like this but 2012 is one of those movies that I dislike so much that I felt the need to complain about it here. So, my apologies in advance if I'm doing sumpthin' wrong (its not intentional lol).
ANYWAY... I've read this entire thread and what I've seen is that most people say they don't like it and just stop there. I can't speak for them, but I will say that my biggest gripe with this movie was the plot holes. Yes, plot holes.
Example: He took his kids on a camping trip, something happens and they decide to leave early yet he's "late for work" when they get back? Huh? Maybe I missed something...
Cusak and the effects were the best parts. And the overall lesson someone else had metnioned earlier are all redeeming qualities, but in my humble opinon, just not enough to earn a priority watch spot.
