Great special effects, poor storyline and acting

Rating: 5/10 (15 November 2009)

Yesterday I saw 2012 with some friends. Just because of the trailer, I was really looking forward to it and I expected it to be a great movie.
Strenghts: Really great special effects! I think that couldn't even be better. Despite it's not realistic, it looks very awesome!
Weaknesses: - Too long - Poor acting (like the Russians Yuri and Tamara, and especially Yuri's kids, what are they possibly adding to this movie?) - Every 10 minutes a disaster, but somehow, they always manage to escape and save the rest of the family.
I can name up several other things like: - they are taking a giraffe and rhinos into the arc, but if they are going to Africa because that continent hasn't been flooded, they will find a whole population of those species. - Instead of getting height with the plane, why are they flying so low, even below a metro train? - The cabins of the Arc look like a Hilton hotel room. Erm, that thing was supposed to save human race instead of having a vacation trip? - as usual in a Hollywood movie, America has to be on top of the world again. Like, why has America one Arc all for itself, while the whole world has to be divided into 2 other Arcs?
Well, to make a long story short, despite all those weaknesses I think the movie is worth seeing just because of the special effects.
