Are you interested in the movie 2012?

I think that the "prophecy" that the world will end in 2012 is completely bogus and misinterpreted from the Mayans, but I think this movie looks very interesting. Based on trailers, the events look just too ridiculous, but the main reason I want to see it is for how awesome the special effects look... I also just marvel at destruction. lol

It looks alright. I'll rent it when it comes to DVD.

Looks like the worst movie to come out in a looooong time.

The Mayans are full of it!. I don't really think the world will End in 2012, But it could end tomorrow, or in 100 years. you never know.

as far as this movie goes... I'm a huge Cusack fan, Plus the trailers look incredible. Reminds me of Knowing. I will be there opening night to see this though!

So much destruction, all future catastrophes will be compared to this film!!!

FX is all it takes to make a killing in Hollywood these days?! That is quite pathetic. I hope you don't pay a penny for the viewing of it if all you care about is the CGI. I wouldn't pay for any of it. I wouldn't waste my time watching it.

ITT: People assume great CGI = bad plot and dialogue.

I'm going to see this movie after the reviews pour in. I'm willing to give this movie the benefit of the doubt, Star Trek was also filled wtih amazing special effects as well and people thought it was going to be all flash and no substance and it managed to turn out into a solid movie.

Not really. Just looks like Disaster Porn to me. Sure, I like seeing stuff getting blown up, but this is a Roland Emmerich movie. This guy doesn't make compelling movies that need disasters to benefit the story. He makes movies with the SOLE POINT of destroying things, and then fashioning a story around that.

It's really just porn for people who want to see stuff get destroyed. It's sort of tasteless, and sort of boring. Then consider that this looks like a progression of stemming from his most successful movies.

Independence Day was stupid, and did well because lots of stuff got blown up. The Day After Tomorrow was stupid, and did well because lots of stuff got destroyed. So I can picture Roland Emmerich sitting in a room with a bunch of people, discussing what to do next.

Executive: So, what do you have in mind for this movie?

Emmerich: Well, ID4 had stuff getting destroyed, and it made a lot of money. TDAT made a lot of money, and lots of stuff got destroyed in that movie too. So in this movie, I want to destroy EVERYTHING.

Executives: What's the movie called again?

Emmerich: 2012. You know, just like those conspiracy theories about the world ending in 2012. I'll Destroty Everything, AND tap into the collective nutcase fears that accompany doomsday prophesies. Remember the Y2K paranoia, and all those movies that came out about disaster happening in 2000? Same thing. Only this time, it'll be AWESOME.

Executives: You're a ****ing genius!

Anyway, I have little interest in this movie. I like seeing stuff get destroyed, but this just looks ridiculous. Granted, Emmerich has a history of doing these kinds of movies, but this looks like th most blatant and obvious piece of evidence indicating that Destroying Things is ALL this guy does. EVERYTHING gets destroyed, it happens in 2012, what more do you need?

Just feels sort of trashy.

I'm easily entertained by movies, so I'll probably enjoy it.

Nop, i'll probably watch it when they pass it on TV.

The idea doesn't interest me and the movie shorts look like typical disaster movie, all flash and no substance

I'll get the DVD eventually.

Yeah, I'll definitely catch this movie. I do love watching disaster flicks, and this one looks pretty good, so I'll plunk down my money and get entertained for a couple of hours. It's fun.

Hollywood just wants to make a few bucks of this kind of thing. I think its getting played out.

agreed about the first, thats been disproven by just about every scientific publication. the movie doesn't look intresting although I'll see it if my astronomy professor decides make a field trip out of it.

in short term No

in the long term NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

i dont think ill enjoy it.. but the visuals looks good.

Not really.I think that's it's really really crappy,judging by the trailers...

Cost $250 million to make, i'm seeing it. I hate how people expect there to be a tightly wound story and great acting from a film like this, it's a disaster film. Not what your going to see it for. Althought the acting is going to be top notch, Woody Harrelson and John Cusack.

No, not at all... I'd prefer the Japanese Haeundae.

Looks pretty bad. His only good film is Stargate anyway, the rest are all average at best. Plus the 2012 prophecy is BS.

It looks very good but I still will probably see it on dvd.

I use to enjoy disaster movies when i was younger. Earthquake, The Posiden Adventure, The Towering Inferno, etc. But now they just seem really dumb. The cgi effect really turn me off. I like watching minuatures of buildings crumble more than a cgi buildings and landscape...its just more physical than animation. Plus they dont seem to take the disaster seriously in these new movies, and you never really see people die...its just too light in tone.

The only reason I would consider seeing it is because of John Cusack.. He is one of my favorite actors.sSubZerOo

This and I must say the special effects have actually wowed me. I might see it for 5 bucks on a weekday just for those two reasons. I'll make sure to leave my brain behind.

The only thing this movie gets right is the end of good film making as we know it. Not as if that hasnt already happened. But an earth quake car chase? A plane that can't fly up? all the random stuff that gets tossed into the carnage is a complete joke.

Looks like a good movie but for the love of god i cannot stand John Cusak he annoying as hell to listen to and I just can't take him serious it's like when i watch him he's trying to hard.

No, I'm not interested in the movie 2012.. and im not interested in what anyone thinks about the year 2012 either...
