Earth's billions of inhabitants are unaware that the planet has an expiration date. Because of the warnings of an American scientist (Chiwetel Ejiofor), world leaders begin secret preparations for the survival of select members of society. When the global cataclysm finally occurs, failed writer Jackson Curtis (John Cusack) tries to lead his family to safety as the world starts falling apart.
2012 is an intense and violent disaster movie with billions of anonymous characters getting killed during massive scenes of destruction (earthquakes, tsunamis, and more). Although the tone is mainly exciting, the relentless devastation could terrify or depress many viewers, both children, teens and adults. Especially those who've been through natural disasters themselves. Frankly, this is not a movie for children or teens anxious about the state of the world. Fans of the genre will find some of the special effects truly impressive. There's not much in the way of character development or plot depth. Expect a little bit of kissing, drinking and swearing. All that and it's almost three hours long? 3* (This movie is OK)
158 min Action directed by Roland Emmerich with John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Amanda Peet, Oliver Platt, Thandie Newton, Danny Glover, Woody Harrelson, Tom McCarthy, Liam James, Morgan Lily.
