This movie is not really worthy of all the hype that it received. It was very predictable and sometimes looked 'fake." The visual effects, however, were done well and almost made up for the dull story line. I would not recommend this movie to my friends and family.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

This is a fabulous reinvention of the classic 1970's disaster movie genre.
Ok, the plot is thin, but that's not what you really came for, is it? Of course not. You came to see the special effects. I can assure you, you will not be disappointed.
Some people will tell you to wait and see it at home on Blu Ray or DVD. Well, I just don't agree.. This is one movie that NEEDS to be seen on the big screen and the bigger the better. You might be able to reproduve the sound-scape with really top notch audio equipment, but they just don't make a flat screen TV/monitor that can truly visually convey the power of these images. That plus, there is jsut something magical about the theater experience and this kind of movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

2012 a full package movie stereotype a disasters REPETITIVE- Armageddon style*2:40 min long*d HERO:scarifying president*modern Noah Ark!*Arab symbol*silly movie,silly ending. Most of us believe of end of life & 2 address it in a ridiculous way is unacceptable.NO ONE CAN PLAY with GOD,no one can escape faith.Building a hug ark won’t save U if it’s time.They show themselves selfish,inhuman & manipulative.Visual effects:amazing; U won’t b able 2 hold Ur breath from excitement. But if U thinks of it from our prospective as believers, U will just freak out. No matter wt religion U follow it’s all mentioned in d book. Take-home massage: prepare Ur billion Euros & U will live.Its waste of time & money and as bounce: you will get terrible headache

This is definitely a movie to see. Pictures are great, they were able to keep humors through tragedy. In addition of being entertaining it makes you realize how futile all our little daily problems are, How people can rise above self centeredness even in the face of such a disaster, and how insignificant we are comparing to the forces of nature.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I thought it had too many narrow escapes to make it believable. Some of the main characters dying would of made it more realistic. Tina Fey as President Palin might of made a better spin than Danny Glover as Uncle Tom as in Color Me Purple.

I don't understand the nay-sayers of this film. Yes it had unbelievably realistic looking action scenes, but it also had a pretty decent story to back it up. it totally reminds me what it would be like and what humans would act like in a real situation. of course you must formulate your own opinion, but it's certainly the best movie I'VE seen this year! After what seemed like a season of disappointing movies, finally something good.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great graphics. And the trailer acurately depicted the graphics. But, the trailer you see in commercials was the best of the story. Sure there were some scenes that were good but none to make this a must see movie. There were parts of the story that mirrored other movies (Independence Day, Volcanoe, Titanic etc) but the effect was lost in context. Wait for it to come out on DVD..
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Agree that the special effects on a wide screen are good cause to go to the theater! In the case of this particular film, being in a large group of unknown people adds to the effect of the theme.Though some of the scenes were a "bit of a stretch," the brotherhood of humanity is an excellent theme ...... as this will truely be the exonoration of the global population in 2012. Truely a new begining, and the acutual awareness of the "Age of Aquarius." This film seemed to include a representation of several of the major religions of the world ...... not just Judeo-Christian. *****Afterall, BROTHERHOOD of ALL MANKIND is what is most IMPORTANT!!!!!!!! WE ARE ALL SPIRITUALLY CONNECTED, LIKE IT OR NOT! How else will we ever attain World Peace?!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie is worth seeing in the theaters for all the special effects. You just can't get that at home! All the actors were phenomenal as well. You find yourself holding your breath along the way, but there are a few good laughs appropriately interjected here and there. The ending does seem to be a bit of a let down but when the movie focuses on the end of the world...what do we really expect!

And just when you think it can't get worse, it does!! I missed two and a hours of my life that I will not get back. What a shame --

One of the best sci-fi pic I have ever seen. It is the only one filmed in the style of a rollercoaster ride. It could have been extended into another Battlestar Galatica series. All the characters are personable/real with a potrayal of the true human nature in this type of crisis. YOU WILL NOT BLINK OR GO TO THE BATHROOM during the movie.

I have to say save your ten bucks and wait for the DVD on this one. The first thirty minutes are interesting, and the characters appealing, making you want to stick around and see what happens to them. Too bad the sticking around doesn't pay off. How many times can a family drive just ahead of the road caving in, or fly just a nano second ahead of the building crashing around them. The last two hours of this long movie are filled with painfully loud destruction and nothing but destruction. The actors save the day here. John Cusack is fantastic as always, elicting charm and making us root for him and his family, as are the rest of the formidable actors rounding out the cast. Note to Hollywood..give Cusack more work! He has been missed!
No, I do not recommend this movie.

The primary attraction of the movie is its stunningly realistic visuals, but it also manages to present a story line that is refreshingly free of unnecessary convolutions. The plot involves at least 3 intertwined strands involving some moralistic elements, some lighter than others (the point about the people vs. the elite was a bit heavy-handed). The film is full of cliff hangers and there are genuinely humorous moments and romantic developmnts amidst the mayhem. The 2 hours and 38 minutes go by very fast.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The movie was pretty good, but not great. It is worth going to see. The plot has a believable storyline, including the waay the governments of the world plan for the "end of the world as we know it." I'm not a big fan of Woody H., but knowing his public history, I can actually believe his character in the movie. A fact that surprised me and added to the realness of the movie.

The year 2112, is still stuck in my head, the persons that wrote and directed this movie deserves the highest accomplishment you can get as a writer or director. five thumbs up for this movie!
