Good For The Effects

Rating: 5/10 (19 November 2009)

For what it was, "2012" was not awful. It definitely looked cool in the theater. That is really the only way to see it as the special effects looked awesome on the big screen. Also, going into this I did not have faith that they would be able to make a film like this interesting to watch for all of two and a half hours, but I was pretty entertained for the duration of the film.
Although the reason that I can't give this film a positive review is because there were just too many stupid, outrageously unrealistic parts in it. I did not expect complete accuracy or even a 100% realistic plot, but it was just too over the top in "2012".
Multiple times during it's run I laughed out loud at how stupidly far fetched the action was. One good example is when Jackson is driving away from the earthquake destruction in California. I could list many, many more, but I don't really feel like typing out the plot of the entire movie.
If you want to see some cool effects and nifty images, check it out in the theater. If you can't see it on the big screen it is not worth your time.
