Emmerich disaster film in auto-pilot...again - spoilers -

Rating: 5/10 (10 September 2012)

I like disaster movies, they're brainless fun but the characters are usually full of drama. Mister Emmerich needs to make other types of blockbusters because I've seen enough.
After seeing 2012 for a second time this time in HD, I decided to re-vote it (gave it a 6/10 upon release) to a 5/10, but still hesitating to a 4/10, simply because the movies sucks and really only the over-the-top special effects and surround sound makes it up.
I'm not going to "review" this film as most of you have already seen it, I just want to point out some annoying points in this film:
. Woody is annoying. Why must there always be some nutcase in these type of movies? Oh wow he eats pickles, his fridge is full of pickles. Pffff... face palm moment.
. The kids in this film were annoying they should have drowned.
. Incredible and impossible scenes of our heroes escaping with a limo, rv, cessna, antonov from crumbling roads and airstrips, it annoyed me... that they survived those.
. And why is there always a damn dog, that survives, ah well chapeau to Roland. Thousands die but hey I won't try and save myself I'll just save the dog.
. Let's not forget the "science" in this movie, far from believable.
. There's always a speech coming up in Emmerich disaster films, and they always suck. Only 15 minutes before the gates close but let's have a 5 minute speech to remind us we are human and this is not who we are crap.
. Half the world is dead, earthquakes destroyed almost everything but one of the main characters can still use a cell pone to say goodbye. Ah well, excuse me do tell me which provider you're using.
There's more points to be made but I'll leave it at that.
