2012 (2009)


An epic adventure about a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivors.

Basically a remake of When Worlds Collide with more spectacular destruction scenes but just as trashy.

On second view: only enjoyable scenes are those of the destruction of our planet.

Maltin **: "State-of-the-art CGI wizardry is employed to eye-popping effect in this latest apocalyptic extravaganza from the director of  THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW. But the pace too often is plodding, the performances wildy uneven, and the script crammed with laughable cliches and preposterous coincidences...this amped-up version of a '70s disaster film offers little more than very expensive cheap thrills."
