After the hassle with the online movie ticket purchase was finally resolved by the management at Bay Plaza AMC cinemas (they were disorganized beyond belief).. the movie ended up being a good show... as usual in the Bronx people tend to shout their reactions to the screen. It was fun though.. the movie was long but gave my friend and I lots to talk about.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I love end of the world as you know it movies, so this one was perfect. Great special effects. I loved the Bible references in the movie like naming the "ships" Arks. I did notice that they showed destruction of every major religious icons except Islamic. All in all my husband and I enjoyed the movie. It was a nice night out for us.

It appears to be accurate as to what would happen if the earth's crust was displaced by the sun's activity.
I would doubt that the earth's atmosphere would clear that quickly. But, overall I liked it.

This movie is not going to win any Academy Awards for acting, maybe for special effects. This is what the movie is all about is the special effects and they are awesome. The acting is what you would expect for this type of movie pretty lame and predictible. If you like movies that don't really make you think but allow you to sit back and enjoy the effects, then this is a movie for you, I myself liked the movie for all the special effects. I would recommend to go see it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Visually, the movie was fantastic. The plot was very predictable. The ending was weak and very anti-climactic. The suspense scenes were gripping, but too repetitive.
Overall, not a bad was to spend a few hours, but not very thought-provoking.

The visual effects are what makes this movie. The story lines and relationships are a bit weak and the acting, for the most part, is not very believable. It appears the headline actors are out for having a bit of fun making the movie and don't really draw you into the story.
About 2 hours into the movie, it started to drag and lose my attention, with the ending being a bit predictable and anti-climactic.
Still, worth seeing, if only to be thoroughly entertained and wowed by the cinematography.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Very much what was expected in regards to the overall storyline and plausibility, especially knowing the other Emmerich movies. There were many unnecessary tear-jerker parts that I could have done without. More crazy-acting Woody Harrelson and less drama and the special effects alone would have made me buy this when it's released, but as it stands the tear-jerker moments and ending didn't do it for me.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I'm not much of a scifi person, but I took my 12 year old son and we both really enjoyed this movie. The special effects were GREAT! The movie had action, adventure, scifi, romance and a little comedy. Its long 2 hours 38 mins, but it didn't seem like it while you were there. Alot of the science stuff was true thanks to my son and his advanced science class at school.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie didn't stray much from the formula. Overall, the special effects were the only thing that really made this worth seeing, otherwise it would literally be no different than your typical Sci-Fi channel end-of-the-world movie. The first half was exciting and great to look at, and the second half was lackluster and disappointing. My main complaint is that they went weak on the ending. All that being said, I would recommend it, because the special effects were just that good.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great cast, loved John Cusack & Danny Glover; Oliver Platt was excellent. Plotline pretty skinny.
Great science exposure which is always a good thing. Tremendous effects. Global type of scope, also good. Looking forward to his production of The Fantastic Voyage! I personally thought the initial portrayal/depiction of John Cusack's character as "bumbling wanna-be dad with an amusing good heart," shamed regularly by the mother of his children, and Amanda Peet's character as "the natural and obvious better parent" to be banal and unnecessary and too consistent with the depiction of men (misandry) in the media.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Movie was very predictable with the story line. It is an action pack, and a movie to take the family to see. But, don't exspect to watch a new exciting and different type of movie that is based on the history, why the world was predicted to end in 2012, for it is not. It is something that should of been made for the television. It will make a great movie for the family DVD collection. Family time has it's value and this movie will do this that. Grapics where ok, and I have seen better. The children enjoyed the movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Special effects were awesome...acting was ok...plot line is kind of interesting.
The actions/reactions of the characters in the face of total anihilation is just totally unrealistic...I mean, comedy with billions being killed???
James Cameron had the tools and potential to make this a really amazing movie...he should have asked my advice. lol

Suspension of disbelief aside, I found the movie a fun ride with good special effects, good action, some comic relief and some decent performances. I'd put it in the same category as Con Air (another action flick w/John Cusack), although 2012 didn't have quite as many big-time stars in it as Con Air (which had Malkovich, Buscemi, Cage, and a couple of others). Woody Harrelson was entertaining in this. If you like action flicks in general, this is a good one and worth seeing on a giant screen. If you hate action flicks, don't bother. If you're in between, it's your call whether to wait for DVD or TV.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this movie - thought it would be typical end of life stuff but was pleasantly surprised. Great action, good dialogue and found myself on the edge of my seat in certain scenes. No bad language or lurid violence so good for kids. Thanks Roland Emmerich for a great film which will definitely join mh DVD collection - love John Cusack!

I was not really interested in seeing this movie but went along with family. I felt that the movie was interesting and had great action. I thought it was slow starting but really picked up. There was not much in the way of bad language and nothing that I saw as inappropriate. Myself, I did not find the movie to be predictable as there were main characters that had bad things happen to them, but more than anything the movie kept my interest. I do look forward to the DVD coming out. I'll be buying this one.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
