Nothing Too Special About It

Rating: 5/10 (21 November 2009)

2012, all I can say after the leaving the theater on November 13th is... "meh, wasn't too bad... nothing too special about it."
It's nothing special, yeah the effects are good and I really enjoyed it. There was something missing during this... I got it, it's over 2 hours long and you would have a chance to connect with the characters, but no... little connection with the characters.
To be honest, I wouldn't care about what would happen to them at all. I really want to cheer for the hero, but no. The story is lacking, it's just one chaotic scene thrown in after another... and some arks you have to pay one billion Euros for and what not.
The effects are nice and all, I'll give the effects team a thumbs up for it.
Overall, Emmerich does what he does best and that is destroy the world on the big screen. My verdict... I give this film a five out of ten, I didn't hate this film at all, but I didn't really love it. I left the theater, going "meh... wasn't too bad... nothing too special about it."
5.0/10.0
If you're dying to see it in theaters, I suggest paying matinée for it. Otherwise, you might as well rent it when it comes out on DVD...or third option, skip it.
