The worst movie ever!

Rating: 1/10 (15 November 2009)

I think it's the worst movie I've ever seen - I hoped so much that I'm wrong that I actually watched it till the end... o, what a mistake! I had some respect for Mr Emmerich before this, and I love disaster movies. After 2012 I will think twice about going to the movies to see a disaster film. And I will never ever see any of Mr Emmerich's movies after this catastrophe.
The story is stupid, but that's OK - no one expect it to be any different, it is a disaster movie after all. But there has to be some nice characters, some jokes and funny moments, and a totally unconvincing but happy end. In 2012 there are so many characters, and none - none! - of them has any charm. There's too much of them and they are all dull. How is that even possible?! John Cusack was in this film just because of the money. Like Sean Connery once said: "Good actors sometimes do stupid movies for lot of money".
No jokes. Not one. No happy end. What kind of movie is this?!
I'm sorry I watched this film. This is Emmerich's bad - and 2,5+ hours long! - ego-trip. I wish I could know how it's possible to make such a bad film with so much money and so much levels of control - which producers, editors, art directors etc. said to Emmerich "Yes, this is it!".
Don't watch it. Instead, make something nice for yourself. Or just sleep. Walk. Sew. Anything is better that watching this.
