The world should have been destroyed before this movie...

Rating: 1/10 (14 November 2009)

...not in it.
I've never seen one of the Uwe Boll-disasters...but I imagine them to be just like this movie.
This only the second movie in my whole live where I EVER thought of leaving the cinema before its ending. The first was Brüno, but in contrast to Brüno 2012 doesn't get better near the end, it even gets worse.
The action-sequences are not only highly unrealistic and badly scripted, they are also absolutely boring and have special-effects far from up to date.
Spoiler: The main characters should have died, if the action was meant to be a realistic event, more than 10 times just during the first runaway in San Francisco.
This movie is also full of clichés and lacks good acting. Almost none of the characters (except the U.S. president and some of the scientist) appear authentic. The worst and most misplaced character the conspiracy-blogger played by Woody Harrelson.
Even worse the director inserted comedy-elements in this movie, which are not only bad but have nothing to do in a movie with this topic.
There is no tension building up while viewing this movie. Every time the director tries to build in a tension-break you already know exactly what will happen. Even so is there not even a real climax in this movie. Other than in Independence Day where you are waiting eagerly what will happen next, in 2012 you just think "how bad will be the next try to show some "exciting" moment".
Spoiler: The "highlight" is the scene near the end when Tamaras dog is running over an anchor-cable toward her on the departing ark. And just when the movie appeals to the "good in humanity" you can just shake your head and ask yourself why you just then see some of the characters with the most inhumane behavior survive. Needless to say that even the one-man-saves-all moment has its place in this movie.
Combined: 9 Euros and 158min of lifetime wasted.
