    Amazing Global Castastrophe Movie

    by flixwatchergal

    You get a bang for every buck you spend to see this film. There are multiple story lines so be careful not to get too distracted on all the wonderful spec effects. Cusack, Glover, and Harrelson were awesome. This film focuses on brains for survival where other disaster films have focused on brawn, most interesting. There are surprises, making this film unpredictable and edgy. If you are a fan of the disaster genre this film delivers earthquakes, volcanos, and sunamis all rolled in one! There are appropriately placed pockets of humor to make you laugh and touching scenes to make you cry. Movies rarely cause me to do either, but I did both watching this movie. This movie is not about theology although the film does depict a variety of religious icons. My concern is this movie may feed into the hype already being created in churches, media (like discovery channel), and survivalists groups about the coming of the end. I highly recommend this movie. Go and enjoy! Is this review helpful? :)

  • Oh No!

    Great CGI. Racist Script.

    by badbadkittymn

    If you're into special effects, this movie won't disappoint. What bothers me about this movie is the racist screenplay. The writers resort to that tired old plot line that has the likable minority figure expousing morality while the evil white man is only concerned about himself. C'mon, is that the best Hollywood can do? I bet the CGI gals and guys are upset that they spent so much time making it look like California is sliding into the Pacefic only to have the writers mess up the movie with recycled dialog.

    Congratulations!! 2012 worse movie of the year

    by migsar

    The blu-ray DVD will look great on your home theater as ambient background for your next house party, but that's about it.. Definitely 2012 was just made for pure cheap entertainment, and never based on the 2012 mayan prophecies, that is all about the awakening of consciousness of human transformation and evolution. The movie message was,'there is NO spirituality or God in the world, we are just alone and only money will save us". The acting had a lack of credibility, while millions of people were dying, the only middle class family from California who survived, spent most of the their time trying to find a safe place to speak their inane dialogue and how Mommy's new boyfriend was squashed in the gears of a giant high-tech ark, so Daddy's back in the picture! What does it matter that billions die if that brings a family together in one big hug?
    . My fellows americans you better make a billion dollars by 2012 if you want to make it at the end of times. 2012 SUCKS!!
