Not the worst by far...

Rating: 7/10 (22 June 2010)

I'm sorry, but if you consider this to be an insult to human intelligence or the worst movie ever, you are sadly mistaken. Movies like these are not meant to be intelligent or sophisticated. Just take a look at the premise--2012 is not going to be the apocalypse, and not even modern day Mayans themselves believe in it. Emmerich (hopefully) just took the idea and decided to do something fun with it.
What this is however, is a whimsical special effects bonanza meant to be taken lightly. The overload of close calls may be insulting to reality, but it does make for a lot of graphically impressive scenes. The shallowness of the main characters may make things dull, but it makes it far easier to take it lightly. People who want to have a good time coming into this shouldn't be looking for a good story, they should be prepared for a destructive joy ride, full of fantastic visuals and fanciful situations.
