2012

Rubbish.

It's OK to have a ridiculous premise in a film, but it only works if the development of the story from the premise is realistic and believable. This story was stretched to the most bizarre extremities at every turn.
 
I'm looking forward to this :D

I know it's not going to great, but if it's got decent special effects I'll enjoy two hours of it. It does help that John Cusack's in it as well!
 
Saw it yesterday, compared to ID4 and The Day After Tomorrow, I thought the character development was very weak and really didn't care if they lived or died, the effects were amazing though but the pscience was even more incredulous than Emmerich's previous disaster movies (which were bad enough).

A visual spectacular that forgot to have an engaging story and was about 40 mins too long.
 
I went today.

Throughout the escape sequences I cried with laughter....the movie was so full of cliches and product placement - why else would they have a giant donut roll across their path.

One of the funniest movies I've seen in a while.

I think they just invented a new genre - disaster comedy, no matter how unintentional it was.
 
Couldn't agree more. I have to admit there was a tear in my eye when
Dr Fonseca from EE - sorry can't recall his character's name in the film - and his family died.
 
Yep and no one in the film seemed to batter an eyelid when anyone died either! No mention at all in some cases :confused:

I'd say it was a bit too far fetched for my liking and a bit too tongue-in-cheek, but overall I did find myself quite enjoying it, especially towarRAB the end.
 
Really? Boy, you need to get out more?!!! ;):D

It really is a terrible, terrible film. The kind of film that you really don't care who lives or dies. As mentioned elsewhere though, the effects are pretty impressive. But sadly the same can't be said for the awful dialogue and below par acting (for John Cusack at any rate).
 
I think it was intentional. Every disaster film and counting in there. Will have to go and see it again.

The winRABcreen made me howl. Not giving anything away but we were almost in the realms of Airplane! All we needed was a guy hoicking up the bonnet........
 
saw it yesterday, great CGI, most unbelievable story ever though

agree there were some funny moments, everybody lol'd at the queen and the corgis

i deffo thought it was better than "Knowing"

i felt it was a bit long at over 2 and a half hours, but i suppose i got my moneys worth
 
Hmm, I've always read years as 'Two Thousand and Nine/Ten/Whatever', but then again I also say Nineteen Ninety Nine. Perhaps I'll avoid both when I go to cinema, and just ask for a ticket for the disaster movie, please :D
