Full Version: 2012
The film 2012 comes out next week. Anybody going to see it? I'm definetely seeing it.
Alot of my classmates thought this movie was a documentary showing what will exactly happen. Thought it looks nice.
Looks like another crappy disaster film.
Over hyped, hollywood drivel to appeal to the mass market of "GO AMERICA! SCREW THE WORLD".
No I won't be watching. It reminds me of I Am Legend, a big hollywood blockbuster to show how great Americans are. Anyway I wish John Cusack stuck to films like High Fidelity and Being John Malkovich.

It'll be the same as all the other end of the world movies,
*open my popcorn* theres a leading white male character whos no doubt a scientist who knows all about it, people dont believe it or him and dismiss him as a piece of trash, the scenarios he predicted actually happen and people panic, *finished my popcorn* it is at this time the leading white male plays the hero role and one person believes him, they then go on a rescue mission to save the world *gets up out of seat to go get more popcorn* (while im getting popcorn lots of random destruction happens, etc etc, including at some point the statue of liberty getting torn to shreds as is a popular trend in most end of the world movies) *gets back from buying popcorn and sits down* leading white male character survives but a lot of innocent people die, after the final disaster and everytyhing is smashed to shizzle the movie is left with an inconclusive ending, the last scene shows the leading white male as one of the sole survivors at the tip of a flame scorched hill overlooking the destruction and devastation of the land he loved and once called home.
The End, another x-million dollars thrown down the drain.

epic.
but yeah, that is most likely what will happen
TBH, it just looks like an excuse for Roland Emmerich to destroy as much stuff as he possibly can (this is, what, the 4th time he's destroyed New York?).
That being said, it might work as a popcorn flick.

I wouldn't mind a few hours of mindless destruction of the world.
Yes, I'm gonna see it.

It's going to be a rehash of every world-destroying movie ever. Might as well break out any you have and watch those.
BUT THE STATUE OF LIBERTY PART WILL BE AWESOMMMMMME

Just another movie that predicts the future, we probably won't die in 2012 and all that research and time will go to waste for the scientists
but i might see it if it comes out on DVD <--Lawl

How can someone have that many close calls and not get wasted???? This is going to be a good visual effects film but the plot is going to suck MAJOR ass.
I'm a graphics whore, so I'm going just for the special effects.
The plot is probably all the most generic disaster plots rolled into one, but I do like the fact it will show how the governments will cope in such a major crisis.
Like the fourth day of Children of Earth.

If anyones seen Know1ng this is kind of like it, you know the water and everything, but it's a hell lot more realistic.

Know1ng is just 2012 with a National Treasure spin on it.
It's like 32% on rotten tomatoes. That is exactly how a money grabbing disaster movie based on purely fictional evidence should be rated.
This film will be good for a laugh.

I don't rely on Rotten Tomatoes, it's evil.
I went to see 2012 today and I thought it was brilliant. IMO it was MUCH more than a crappy generic disaster film.

I cried when John Cusack survived, I really did.
There's a part when all the heroes are in a plane and they're flying away from a massive earthquake in California and there's bits of earth shooting up all around them and buildings are collapsing into the abyss and it's absolutely breathtaking.
There's another scene when Yellowstone erupts and Cusack and his daughter are driving away from all the volcanic rocks hurtling through the air in a camper van, it's amazing.
Although does revolve heavily around America, and any British person in the film has the worst accent EVER, three of the main characters are Russian. Albeit they all die, but all but one sacrificed themselves while saving the rest.

What's with repeating the fact that the main character is a white male over and over again? More men are white than anything else in the US, it's not like it makes the film racist or boring if the main character is white. Okay, if EVERYONE in the film was white, then that would be a problem. But the president is African-American, and from the sound of the review I read, he's a good leader, so it's obviously not being racist.
About the leader being male: It's like that in ALMOST EVERY MOVIE. Yes, I'm sure that annoys a lot of people. But that doesn't make 2012 something specifically to complain about.
Main character isn't a scientist, he's a divorced guy with his ex-wife and her new significant other.
It sounds like a bad movie with awesome special effects. But if the world is getting destroyed, I don't care about how implausibly the people survive. I care about the fact that the world IS getting destroyed, and that nobody is actually dying so I can enjoy watching the buildings fall to pieces.
Lighten up, everyone. There are good movies, and then there are movies where you get to watch awesome special effects. And then there are both, obviously. But one or the other should be good enough for an awful lot of us.
I predict it will be another Day after Tomorrow except with the entire world. Their plots sound really similar.
I'm wondering though...since the world is supposed to end, does that mean everyone dies?
On second thought...no, that probably won't happen.

Above that, the scientist is black.
The main character who Cusack plays is a writer, Jackson Curtis. He has two children but he's divorced and lost custody of them. He's not a scientist at all.
So, let me revise your story.

*There was such a massive queue because the film was so popular, I didn't buy popcorn*There's a leading white male character who's not a scientist at all. There's a black male scientist who knows all about it, and people believe his idea, and give him two years to sort something out to save as much of humanity as possible. The scenarios he predicted happen and people panic. At this time, the leading white male plays the hero role and tries to save him and his family by getting on the 'big ship' that all the important people are going on. California gets ripped apart by an earthquake (Schwarzanegger dies in this, btw), Yellowstone erupts and Washington DC gets smothered with a pyroclastic flow. Statue of Liberty doesn't get destroyed at all. If I recall correctly, New York doesn't even feature in the film. Leading white male almost dies but survives. Lots of innocent people die. Leading white male almost risks his life to save everyone on a big ship. His family cry. Leading white male survives. I cry because it's so happy. Millions of people who were on all six big ships survive, as the ships don't get smashed up. The one with all the important people on crashes into Everest but leading white male unjams some mechanism somewhere to save it. The last scene zooms out and shows the Earth covered in loads of water because of the giant tidal wave, and Africa's the only place you can see because it's risen like a thousand feet.

I don't understand why they couldn't start the turbines on the ship before the door was shut? Would it really cause that much more water to go inside?
