Now A Classic B Movie

Rating: 7/10 (4 July 2020)

Over a decade on, I re-watch 2012 with my kids and, well, if it doesn't just pop that big bubble of pretentiousness the triggered carry in their narcissist manbags.
It's pure theme park, big action movie nonsense with a sweet ironic undercurrent of conspiracy theory and biblical theme.
How any movie fan cannot enjoy this testament to mad, overblown creativity beats me. Overacting by notable actors, demented cgi that still holds a wow factor all these years and advances later - this is just damn good fun.
Kick back, unclench your critical sphincter and revel in the mentalness of unhinged ridiculousness; this is movie-making on cocaine speedballs served up with a pitcher of JD and an acid dessert. Cinema to make you shake your head with a grin.
