Surprisingly boring and stupid

Rating: 5/10 (9 January 2020)

I never thought I'd say this for a big-budget disaster film, but here I am:
2012 is a long, boring and stupid movie. The creators have probably mistaken "stupidity" for "melodrama" since most of the supposedly melodramatic scenes are just stupid people doing stupid things and screaming.
They dumped so much money on effects and there's still no feeling of real danger or immersion just because how stupid and comical it is. The characters are pure stereotypes, the science of the film is beyond me, even the decisions taken by humanity's best are childish (build arcs?, you know we have BIG ships, right?).
I mean, could they at least try to write an adequate script instead of doing the same thing again?
It's like Roland Emmerich really needs to see The Host (2006) to finally understand how to wrap a family drama in a disaster film.
And the funny thing is that they are doing it again. They already have 150 mil budget for Moonfall movie. Here we go again.
