"2012" is a disaster film that ends up making a disaster of itself.

Rating: Null/10 (11 August 2014)

The mythical theory of the world coming to an end in 2012 frightened some people so much that they called NASA on December 21 (the day it was supposed to end) wondering if they were going to be safe, watched bogus documentaries on various science channels about the end of the blue planet and now paid money to see a horrendous film about this ridiculous theory. The theory was that based on the ending of the Mayan calendar on December 21,2012 there would be mass destruction from our universe entering our atmosphere and totally destroy us. Many scientists and cultural examiners noted that they had no evidence of anything destructive happening in our future and that the Mayan's had many other ways of calculating time besides a calendar. So why the hell did we make a movie about this? It's literally John Cusack and his family trying to survive various catastrophic events for over two-and a half hours! I wonder why good actors like Woody Harelson, Chiwitel Ejiofer and Amanda Peet had small roles in such a degrading film. This film isn't even a fun popcorn film where you can just be entertained. It drags and drags forever and doesn't have one shocking or entertaining scene. Everything you think will happen in every scene happens as well as having the disasters so in your face that the suspense is silenced. The directing by Roland Emerich is horrific. Emerich uses the cheesiest visual effects and worst CGI that result in using terrible sound and horrendous cinematography. There's no strong message about family, which could have been used to provide some emotional aspect to this disastrous plot. With all the poor film-making you have John Cusack giving a lame performance and after seeing every landmark and natural disaster combine with each other for 158 minutes, you'll get a little tired. The only thing I took out of watching "2012' was that the world could end any second and if that's the case I sure don't want this film being the last film I ever see. This film alone is worst than the end of the world.
