This isn't awesome. I wouldn't even say this is good. It's just ok. Now at practically 3 hours, it's a long film. But I'm okay with long films, as long as you don't feel the length. It's always a bad sign when you start looking at your watch. The special effects are cool, and I love how the movie shows the whole range of human reaction you would expect if something like this were ever to happen: the crazies, the fighters, the compassionate, the intellectuals, the selfish, etc. The main problem with the film is the characters. I never really found myself emotionally invested in them. And even with thousands to millions of people dying in pretty horrific ways, I didn't really care-and I find that sad as well. Something was definitely missing, because while I HATED Titanic (and it wasn't just because I detest DiCaprio) I sobbed when the ship sank. I was horrified at the terror and trauma all those people were going through, even the ones you hadn't seen for the entire movie until their coming doom, and so that just tells me that 2012 messed up. I also didn't appreciate a certain person "losing" so that one person who screwed up royally could get everything back. I can't give details, because that would spoil the end, but I personally found it lame.

This one will go on my guilthy pleasures list .. I don't really care if it's good or not nor the story. I just want to see this one on the big screen with big crashes, lots of over the top bulls., special fx and stuff ..
Bucket of popcorn and laugh away ..

Trantee... let me know what you think of this one, if you ever get around to seeing it.
I have not seen it, but it looked lame to me. Disaster movies usually disappoint me. I have heard from several people at work that this movie was awesome and all the things that other hyped up disaster movies should have been. (These are all guys... who probably care more about crashes, explosions, etc... than actual plot, so I'm not sure how much I trust their opinions.)
I will probably have to wait for cable on this one.
