Not great but decent film

Rating: 7/10 (6 March 2010)

This movie plays out like any disaster movie with it focusing on a specific group of characters who appear to be in danger but seem to get out of it with minimal injuries. This film tells the story about how the world will end in 2012. This film is extremely long and is almost agonizing near the end. There is a lot of cool effects particularly the destruction of LA. The actors mainly just scream, run and appear to be upset because of all that is happening around them. The film tries to put humour in it through a variety of characters such as a Russian Billionaire who buys a car that's voice activated. The ending seems to take forever as the main characters are trying to be saved by "arks" made by the Chinese in order to save as many people as possible from the disaster that will strike the world. Of course there the whole reason why more people get killed but it doesn't seem to bother them near the end of the film. What also bothered me was John Cusack ends up getting back together with his ex wife but could be considered responsible for the death of her potential husband when he fails to save him.
