*****SPOILERS CONTAINED IN THIS POST*****

Actually w/ $600 Mil in ticket sales somebody might not actually consider 2012 a contender for "worst flick ever".

If people can win 60 mil to 1 lotteries I can buy a driver escaping a collapsing land mass nipping at his heels. (I am not a pilot, nor have I gone up in a small engine plane, but...) It's my understanding that once a plane is in the air - flying really isn't all too difficult. I have a co-worker who has a pilot's license and when he takes friends up in the air, he frequently lets passengers take the flightstick. So, giving the 60 mil to 1 odds, if a pilot in training can remember what it takes to get a plane in the air then flying in between falling buildings falls into the realm of "possible" (even if highly improbable). Now if I recall correctly Gordon really didn't do too many arial accrobatic tricks to fly passed the falling buildings, so if his flight path was clear, if the path only required simple turns AND he remained cool again this falls in the realm of "possible" (and that's pretty much all I asked for)

I could describe it like a modern day Towering Inferno but without the personality. Hey I love movies with explosions and mindless boom boom but for all the CG this movie had it lacked in the imagination department. Too bad because I was looking forward to it.

Thanks for taking a whizz on my enthusiasm Mike.

I rented and watched "2012" on Friday Evening.  I watched it and did not fall asleep but after it ended I said to myself "I can't believe I watched that movie."  The movie is just poorly done and disjointed.  I cannot recommend this one with a rating of 2 out of 5 stars.

Saw this a week ago...was a fun watch...but afterward, the only thought I remembered was, 'that was a stupid movie'.

So much potential.........

I saw this in a big theater when it first came out...had very very low expectations, and will admit to the movie actually beating those expecations...I was entertained.  Basically this was Independence Day without Will Smith (although I do think John Cusack did ok)...implausible, corny sub-stories and characters, etc.  Completely forgettable in just about every way except one: imho, the special effects were flat out amazing to see on the big screen.  Definitely left the theater thinking "I'm glad I saw it on a big screen"...

This movie is a disaster on so many levels it is hard to describe. The action scenes kept me entertained so 2012 it is worth renting for that reason but some of the sub-plots had me rolling my eyes and completely stopped any forward momentum the movie ever had. If they ever release a director's cut it should be cut down from 158 minutes to 90 minutes, then it would be an excellent action movie.

No director's cut could possibly make this film any better unless it was trimmed from 158 minutes to less than 90 seconds.  This is the biggest POS that I have seen in many, many years.  Do NOT rent this movie, ever!  Watching paint dry is more entertaining.
