Non-stop (almost) action packed thrill ride!

Rating: 7/10 (13 November 2009)

If you are looking for a movie that pulls out all the stops, and displays as much mayhem, explosions, and all-around adrenaline pumping action scenes that can possibly be fit into 2 1/2 hours, this is your film. However, if you are looking for a thought-provoking, profound commentary on human society and a movie that will leave you pondering your own existence...you may be slightly disappointed. 2012 really came through with the much-hyped special effects and budget, proving the money was well spent. The action was well directed, the CGI flawless, and the carnage displayed in truly impressive epic proportions. Unfortunately, this movie suffers from being preachy, and VERY cheesy and clichéd at several moments. This factor prevents the film from achieving true greatness, but is more than compensated by the electrifying and pulse-pounding action sequences, which make 2012 a must for all serious action fans.
