2012

We caught 2012 the other day.

I was unimpressed, especially given the hype.

In essence, it’s a badly done slapstick mash-up of Armageddon and The Day After Tomorrow. The visuals were impressive and Woody Harrelson was good for a few laughs but I otherwise found myself looking at the clock on my phone and wondering how the producer expected me to believe that John Cusack and his family could cheat death so many times. Seriously – there were at least a dozen scenes where I was sitting there thinking, “No. He simply wouldn’t survive that. Period. Nobody would.”

Of course, there were lots of whiz-bang effects and the audio was fantastic. It just wasn’t worth a damn story-wise. The dialogue wasn’t great, there wasn’t a lot of character development, and the “science” upon which the whole thing was based was absolute bullshit at best.

If you’re not planning on seeing it in theaters, then skip this one… unless you happen to have a godly home theater system.

1. I’m not going to lie, i thought the previews looked terrible, it looked far fetched and looked as if it would have loads of action and no real story. I’m waiting for the torrent. :]
