OK, so the wife and I went to see "2012" tonight. Let me be the first to say this:
YOU
MUST
SEE
THIS
MOVIE
!!!
It is an fantastic ride from about 30 minutes in, all the way to the 128 minute mark. The acting is a bit above average than most disaster flicks, and you do get wrapped up in all the disaster scenes. (And there is a lot of them.) Do yourself a favor, grab the wife/husband/kids/dogs/cat/whatever else, and plop down the nine dollars or so, and get ready for a visual treat.
If you must post spoilers, please use the spoiler tags, so that we are considerate for those who have not seen it.

My favorite quote from this move? {Spoiler}Sasha: (in a thick Russian accent) **Sasha is trying to get the nose of a plane to lift up***
"C'mon baby..lift that big ass up for Sasha!" |

I wanna see this, but me funds are low. Hopefully it stays around the theatres long enough for me to catch it. Im pretty sure it will, disaster movies tend to do well.
Plus John Cusack is awesome, I'll watch anything that guy is in.

Really enjoyed this movie! My only minor gripes were that it felt a bit longer than it needed to be and some of the characters seemed a bit cliched, but other than that it was great.

My biggest gripe with the film is there are several characters that should've been cut outright. {Spoiler}Like that old guy's son and his INSANELY hot Japanese wife. They show up for ONE SCENE and then die...or at least are implied to have died, either in the earthquake or the giant wave that covered Japan in water. |

I thought it was decent. I mean it was what I expected it to be and that was it. It had some cool visuals and all, but it's not movie of the year worthy

Ok... this is going to take a while. {Spoiler}I didn't really like this movie. Granted the action scenes were utterly mindsnorking good, but the movie had another 2 hours worth of filler.
-I hated how whenever a character got cool, they killed them off. Sascha, Girl, Surgeon, and scores of others.
-I hated how they randomly introduced characters and then killed them off.
-I hated how Oliver Platt got no comeuppance
-The ending strugge was way to hammy
-I hate how the dog lived... again, while its master dies horribly.
-I hated how the Russian kids didn't get any comeuppance besides learning to share
-I disliked Cusacks bumbling near extinction of the human race and bumbling in general
-I did not like how the children communicated mainly through screaming
-I hated how the cap on the entire story was that the girl didn't need diapers
-I loved the chicken

Sorry I have to say that the action, while visually impressive fell very flat to me. After the third time of watching the EXACT same action squence (run from a crak and falling debries in a car, get in the plane and run from the crak and falling debries once in the air) I just started to get board.
I mean the first three action sequences all went EXACTLY like this.

{Spoiler}I....actually didn't know Tamara died. I mean yeah they show the room she's in filling up, but that's it. They never show her actually drowning. |

With all due respect I think I will wait until I can rent the Blu, the film looks like it will be a beast in HD.

I HATED this movie {Spoiler}My main gripes were
- too many characters, none of them interesting. You'd think the odds would be in your favour, with so many characters, to have one at least be intriguing, but nope. All soulless.
- No tension. I, at no point, thought John Cusack was going to be meet his maker as soon as debris started flying. If they had killing Glover's character earlier or something, maybe it would've worked.
- The whole plot point about the Ark spots being given to the highest bidder was stupid. What good is money if society was completely destroyed? Then you're just stuck with a bunch of old, uptight people.
I do have to admit the destruction scene's were good...the first time. But they took too long getting there, and it fell flat everytime after that. |

This movie being #1 makes me very furious inside that you would be willing to see Roland Emmerich's crap after the last several films he has done. Congrats as you just kept this guy in show business for a few more years.

Congrats as you just kept this guy in show business for a few more years. Like I said man, people are STUPID, they like big explosions and stuff. Most movie goers don't give two shits about the story, they just want Bay-splosions and any film that has Bay-splosions has their money 100% sure fire. |
