...possibly I would say Roland Emmerich's best work to date

Rating: 8/10 (17 November 2009)

When I was coming in to see this movie, my expectations weren't that high. Why? Well, I'm not exactly a big fan of Roland Emmerich's past films, (Independence Day was the most overrated piece of crap I've ever seen), but I was really impressed with his latest work, 2012, about the apocalypse according to the Mayian calender on that year,(obviously!) The story was believable, the effects were astonishing, and the acting, for the most part, was pretty good(not exactly Roland's strongest suit in making his movies). It had a good cast too. My favorite was Woody Harrelson's character, as some crazed, intelligent conspirasists hillbilly that meets John Cusacks character halfway through the movie, warning him about... u know. Speaking of which, I only gave it an 8 outta 10, because I mentioned the acting was PRETTY GOOD(pretty being the key word) it wasn't the greatest, and some parts of the acing in the movie were a little unbelievable. Plus, Idk if John Cusak is the strongest leading actor. Although he did decent, I thought they could've got someone better. Bottom line though, I think this is possibly Roland's best work to date(yes, a tip of the hat to u Roland). A solid movie that definitely, in the end of the day, makes u wonder...
