I liked the movie a lot more the first time I saw it

Rating: 4/10 (14 November 2009)

You know, when it was called The Poseidon Adventure, or Independence Day, or Earthquake, or Titanic, or any of the couple dozen other, much better disaster flicks that 2012 so gratuitously ripped off. The only thing that sustained me through 2 1/2 craptastic hours of bad acting, sadistic and preposterously clichéd writing, and overblown CGI effects was the knowledge that, now that Emmerich has destroyed the planet, he's done in the disaster-movie business. I mean, where do you go from there- Viggo Mortensen blowing up space Maybe now he'll be forced to make movies about real human beings in everyday, real-life situations, with honest dialogue and credible acting...nah, bring on the exploding Martians!!
