Special effects were great, movie wasn't

Rating: 1/10 (22 November 2009)

The CGI in 2012 was excellent, but it was way overdone. The special effects draw attention to themselves and distract you from the storyline, which could have been salvageable if it had been executed better.
It's impossible to get engrossed in the film. The action sequences are so unbelievable that your intelligence is insulted, and the acting is so unrealistic that you can't relate to any of the characters. Even though there are a lot of fancy special effects to look at, it's a boring movie because the characters are so obviously fictional that you just don't care if they live or die. In short, it's an awful movie with excellent special effects.
