Graphics are top-notch, otherwise... nothing great...

Rating: 5/10 (19 November 2009)

Written by Harald Kloser & Roland Emmerich '2012' is based on the "Infamous" 2012 phenomenon. Now there are a billion question on this topic, will it happen... will Human-Kind end on 12-21-12? Well, that is it yet to be explored. Our topic of day, is the Mega-Budgeted, Hugely-Awaited Emmerich's '2012'.
Now when you make film on a phenomenon like this, you better make a highly gripping & nail-biting fare... In terms of Graphics, '2012' is a all-rounder, but in terms of screenplay.... it has minuses written all over it.
'2012' starts off really well... the first disaster sequence with John Cusack & family flying off in plane is a delight. It's one of the most gripping sequences ever in a movie. Unfortunately, right after that the film starts getting tedious. Even the climax in the ship doesn't create any impact. Well 'Africa' will love this movie for sure... you guys know what I mean! Another aspect that goes completely against the film is the track between The President & his daughter. It's just doesn't touch you, emotion is completely missing. This track could've easily been avoided.
In a film like '2012' you don't expect much from the acting department, but here's a mention for John Cusack who delivers a sincere performance. He is the soul of the film. Others do what they supposed are to do, 'Scream'.
on the whole... We {Humans} are anyways Ass Holes... so 12-21-12 isn't really a bad sentence for us! Right?
