Wow, really? How was this released in theaters?

Rating: 1/10 (16 November 2009)

When I asked my brother if he wanted to see this with my friends and I he replied, "No, I don't want to contribute to anything about 2012." Well, I should have taken his ADVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This movie was even worse than I thought it would be. I went to this movie knowing there would not be a plot or characterization but thought that at least the special effects would be enjoyable. What can I say, I was dead wrong. The entire movie is a cliché of scenarios and attempted suspense and thrills that have been rehashed time and again in "blockbuster" movies. The main characters are of course able to survive through countless impossible close calls, it seems 3/4 of the time they are the only ones who miraculously (usually luckily) survive. The special effects scenes are the same thing over and over and over again, just with different things exploding or falling. Very monotonous, over long and boring. Why did I spend my money on this!?!?!?!?!!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??! OK so it made me laugh quite frequently for the first hour and a half, but those laughs were at how terrible the movie was. The rest of the time I was either sleeping or desperately waiting for the end credits (well, actually, I was waiting for everyone in the movie to die). The movie turns into a futuristic Noah's Ark at the end. Come on, I thought the world was supposed to end!!!! I didn't want to see an updated version of a fairy tale taken from the "greatest bull**** story of all time" (I quote George Carlin)! Why is this not getting below a 4.0? Come on people, you actually liked this movie?
