    It is what it is. Lame works but it was alright as an absurd action movie with unrealistic CGI shots, where a second sooner woulda killed the protagonists and ended the movie - but it didn't.

    Here's my review at the time.

    2012
    Movie Blurb by Shale
    November 13, 2009

    This movie wasn't a big hit with the professional reviewers, but even those criticizing it had to admit it had some good CGI moments. In fact that was the draw, which I have been watching in the trailers for months and which was put prominently on the posters.

    So, I had to see this movie, not as a discerning 65-year-old man but tapped into those five 13-year-old boys within. It was exciting. Even when you know that the protagonist's family has to make it thru those scenes where the plane is taking off as the runway falls away behind it, or as the plane maneuvers thru the tumbling skyscrapers, it is still armrest-clenching exciting.

    Here's the story. Turns out the Mayan calendar (Which many of us believe was made by advanced aliens) predicts the celestial line-up will tear this planet apart on the Solstice of 12-21-12. End Times, The Rapture, The Apocalypse, whatever, is finally upon us.

    This has been confirmed by some scientists and the gov is making secret contingency plans but no one outside the limited circle knows about it. Until writer Jackson Curtis (John Cusack) who wrote a similar apocalyptic novel figures it out with the help of a free radio conspiracy theorist, Charlie Frost (Woody Harrelson).

    Jackson frantically rounds up his ex, Kate (Amanda Peet) their two kids and the ex's new squeeze Gordon (Tom McCarthy). This is where the excitement picks up as the world is falling apart around them and they try to make it out on cars, campers and a small plane, which luckily Gordon can fly.

    I don't like long movies and this one is 2 hours and 40 minutes. As usual, even I can see where it could've been tightened up a bit, mostly at the end when there was more dialogue than action. However, it did hold my interest even when whole major cities were not sliding into the ocean or chasms that opened around them.

    I recommend this movie for those who like to go on a great cinema ride. If you enjoyed other apocalyptic movies like Deep Impact or Armageddonthis one is better. If you liked Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow, you should know that Roland Emmerich directed them as well as this one.

    I plan to get this on DVD to add to my earth destruction movies, but will likely go see it again on the big screen (which you should try to do also).

    Ha ha agreed. I especially was WAITING for that Gordon prick to get killed off, guy tries to grab my boobs in a public place he'll be on his knees singing soprano. And they've already got one kid that can't stop wetting the bed and he wants another one?
