Ok so 2012 is disaster porn. One of those movies where everything is gonna go *splodey* - and it directed by pretty much the acknowledged king of disaster porn - Roland Emmerich. But this was not his best offering. In fact it might be argued that he's getting a little played out in the genre.
Don't go for plot - because this one is rather weak. No unexpected twists or even attempts - you'll see it coming a mile away.
Don't go for acting - some of the actors in here are good to decent, but really? It's hared to give a lot of depth in D.P.
Don't go for a feel good ending - you might find yourself at the end of the movie wishing you could kill the ones who didn't die.
However if you can lower your standards this far - this is what this movie is good for:
LOTS OF THINGS GO BOOM! In spectacular fashion! The special effects are fun.
Woody Harrelson will make you giggle - he's the best thing in the movie IMHO.
Did I mention the things going boom? If you in your secret heart of hearts kinda wish on some days you could watch the world come to a spectacular end - then go ahead and watch this movie. You'll enjoy that much at least.
