Surprisingly Amusing

Rating: 6/10 (21 November 2009)

Given the awful reviews, I was expecting 2012 to be on a par with those Made-For-SyFy-Channel travesties — but, instead, I was both entertained and amused. 2012 never takes itself seriously, and despite the extinction of most of the human race, it really is quite funny! The acting is better than average for a movie of this sort, and the special effects, although a bit cheesy, are adequate.
Mind you, had I paid ten bucks to see 2012, I might not have been quite so amused — but if you can get a free ticket, or if you're willing to wait for it to reach cable TV (probably a month or two), it's not a bad way to kill some otherwise unoccupied time.
