2012 is another offering from disaster specialist director Roland Emmerich whose credits include Independence Day, Godzilla and the The Day after Tomorrow. So you know, it is leave your brains at home time, ignore character development and just enjoy the noise, the craziness and the mind-blowing CGI.
This time it is world annihilation due to solar flares. The first half of the movie is excellent and has everything that popcorn entertainment has to offer. Cities just falling off due to the movement of fault lines will leave you agape. But it is the second half where the movie starts to get boring and repetitive. And all the cliches that you expect also come hopping out with glee with the conscience stricken Americans saving the world yet again.
No one performance stays in the mind even though the movie runs for almost three hours. Watch the movie just for the spectacle of seeing a plane taking off from a runway crumbling behind it, ships being hit my massive tsunami waves and much more.
Rating : 3/5
