The whole movie can be summed up with one sentence: Thank god I wasn't 5 meters behind from where I was.

rofl

high budget + the idiocy of the public = profit

the whole movie made me nauseous, especially because the theater was packed for what I expected as a typical high budget bullshit movie, but when the credits started rolling and the audience in the room clapped, I almost threw up.

You do realize that you're in that crowd?

probably clapping harder then the rest :)

was thanksgiving, parents wanted me to do something with them. I protested profusely but was finally cajoled.

maddening behaviour

terrible movie, good f/x

I thought it was amusing. The way they kept escaping narrowly from everything, including the collision with mount everest. It was especially funny when he was driving the car and the earth was cracking open behind him and around him and he was dodging falling skyscrapers with his car.. XD People and vehicles flying around falling into the earth. I saw it in the cinema which made the joke pretty intense.

You'd be a pro at that with all your "evade" preperation

brumu ragequitted Earth

What exactly were you expecting walking into the theater? I went in to see buildings collapsing left and right and cataclysms devastating the Earth and they delivered. That was the point of the movie (not the family's love story for example...). When I want to see character development, a good plot etc I don't go see 2012... I thought it was entertaining for what it was.

I never stated I wanted character development or some touching story. I go to the theater to be entertained. I wasn't entertained.

I was hoping it to be better than G.I. Joe at least. But it seems nowadays even such poor expectations are illusive.

don't tell me you actually watched G.I. Joe..

bedwetting should be a main story focus in all summer blockbusters

2013 THE SERIES will be awesome
priviledged white people settling down in africa with a huge contingent of chinese worker slaves

Like all emmerich movies, 2012 was a gold coated turd with horrible acting, i'm glad i did not spend 10€ to watch it

lol

Movies are simple entertainment, watch it for what it is.

rottentomatoes.com and Oscars are hoaxes all the way
knew it!

no wai?

>Movies are simple entertainment, watch it for what it is.

movies could be more, much more. i need only one actor from the casting and will do a much more entertainment movie.

You must have known pretty much what to expect man. I went to see it knowing there would probobly be horrible acting and a weak story in it but decent CGI. And like someone else said, I think they delivered.

Sounds to me like you had your expectations up a bit to high for a billion-dollar hollywood-movie. Don't.

was weaker than i thought

I had never seen a preview of the movie. All I knew it was some end of the world thing. Didn't even know John Cusack and Woody Harrelson were in it.

Expecting a movie to be better than G.I Joe is probably one of the lowest expectations one can have. It didn't even manage to meet that.

Haha that's a shame man, I feel for you.

i hated the movie but the whole experience as a whole was annoying.

first i had to pay for premium seats as the standards were all sold.
then i get in there and theres no premium seats...apparently they oversold the tickets & i sat in standard seats
then i had an argument in the cinema with this annoying black woman who wouldnt STFU throughout the whole movie
finally the audience were all tards and pissed themselves over stuff that wasnt even that funny e.g. "engine...start" and the woman sticking her finger up to the russian...the audience went fucking mental over these whereas i simply gave a non-enthusiastic "heh"

fuck the cinema

Stupid american watashis, probably wouldn't know a shibabi from a wengo no shoshi lol x ^_^

lol yeah audiences going mental over bullshitty things.. love that too x)

shit movie, harrelson and cusack was it worth to be in the movie?

average movie, seems it recycles all "world ends" movies into one big 2,5 hour clip.

2,5 hour
now all my courage went off

Im gonna make a quake movie based on this film

That Quake movie Escape from the bastille has more plot than this one for sure :)

didnt you read that emmerich did it?

nope ;D

That's very dangerous behaviour.

If you keep taking such insane risks, you might end up seeing an Uwe Böll movie !

what was everyone expecting from roland emmerich... did he deliver with day after tomorrow or 10,000 bc.. :o)

Funny how they just forgot that one russian bitch with its ugly dog drowning in the chamber :D


best part of the movie.

the year 2012 is in about 25 months time
