They sure warned us

Rating: 1/10 (20 November 2009)

2012 was praised a lot in all reviews and I bought into the pre release hoopla, and saw the movie today in theaters. Couldn't stay till the end. First, the story, it is so predictable and hence boring. Second, the anchor characters of the movie fail to connect with the audience as a result, you are not with them during when they so many disasters strike them from all corners CG is spectacular, but, almost always you feel you are seeing a rendered image and not an cleverly choreographed sequence say like Ronin, or Die Hard 4 etc CGs in Godzilla or KingKong 2008 or entire Jurassic park were better and it had some human element in it. Here, you have a rag-tag family, as usual woman lives in with the other man. A boy and girl goes with the father on a camp , Voila, they discover the ultimate truth and brave all odds to live and stay united when some billions are wiped clean on earth. Shallow!! You almost want the members of the family to die for their nonchalance exhibited during the crisis!! Too many Goodbyes in the movie fails to move your heart, it serves as surreal comic interludes Avoid!! to save your time> If you must watch some mass destruction you are better off with Godzilla, King Kongs or any of those three Dino Movies
