Excellent visual effects but only an average movie..

Rating: 7/10 (15 November 2009)

2012 drops the best visual effects for any movie that talks about the end of day. the visual effects are so stunning that can make you jump out of your seat, but that's it!!! This movie, with all the resources that were available, could have the movie of the year, decade. It could have been iconic, but it seems that the producers and director, only wanted an average movie with some supreme effects.
The movie is being killed by the silly funny remarks at some points, come on guys billions are dying and you are joking? Also, the unnecessary romance, guys you cannot guarantee your life for the next five minutes and you are flirting with the woman??!!! Watching this movie can never make you feel it realistic, only because 2012 fails to read the correct reaction of the human nature in similar situations. furthermore, killing the characters when their part for saving the family (main focus of the plot)finish, example, you drove our plan and reach us here, thank you, you can die!!! and eventually saving the marriage, who cares??? the world is ending buddy!!!
Finally, the movie can only touch you visually, and when the movie finish, the effect is gone. Will you enjoy it, probably yes. Will it touch you in the core? probably no.
It is disappointing how they can convert a potential masterpiece movie into an average box office hit movie. I am disappointed...
