2012 is, in my opinion, just what it set out to be, a view on just what could happen if the 2012 Prophecy is correct.
2012 is by far the most action intensive movie I've ever seen, practically every minute there are mountains folding in on themselves, cars being thrown into the air, the Earth's crust splitting apart, and so on, but it was entertaining.
True, there is almost no historical viewpoint into the Mayan culture or background to the event, besides a brief summary by a news anchor fairly early in the movie giving you a quick lesson on what 2012 is, but that was a choice made by the makers. If they had chosen to go in-depth into the event, it would have bothered action lovers, if they had skipped the history lesson, they would be bothering history nuts. In a movie like this, you can't please everyone.
The story is believable which is very important for a movie like this. What they do actually seems like something the world powers would do (the good and bad, each and every detail of the movie) if 2012 were to occur.
One thing that can be said about this movie, is the acting was fantastic. I particularly enjoyed the small role played for Helmsley's father, he stood out to me.
All in all, this movie is a definite see if you enjoy apocalyptic movies (Armageddon, Deep Impact, Day After Tomorrow, Etc.), I'd say it is one of my favorites in the genre, and a genre I very much enjoy.
