Outstanding

Rating: 9/10 (14 November 2009)

This is a good old fashioned Emmerich film. It has everything you need to make a great film. Drama, action, suspense, and a little romance. Parts of this movie had me on the edge of my seat. The special effects were off the hook like usual. To all you Emmerich fans, I promise you will not be disappointed.
Think of these films all bundled into one. Deep Impact, Waterworld, The day after tomorrow, Independence day (without the aliens), and Knowing. All of these movies combined equals 2012. This movie was pretty much eye candy. The special effects were some of the best and it's hard to take in the whole movie because everything happens so fast and I bet when it comes on DVD when you freeze a frame the picture will speak a thousand words. It is a little long, but that is OK because it's a great story and a good movie to take your girlfriend to see.
