Whatever, but the visual effect in 2012 is so superb that it could be the new standard of big scale special effect.
Remember when I said Transformers 2 was the worst movie ever?
" *destruction scenes* THE END *destruction scenes* IS JUST THE BEGINNING *destruction scenes* "
even if the plot is stupid, I will probably spend my money on that movie just to see the special effects.

"Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow, and 2012 are all Michael Bay films. Yes most of his movies are disaster movies and therefore similar, but Michael Bay makes THE BEST disaster movies around. Sure they are not very deep and require a good suspension of disbelief, BUT the special effects are quite possibly the best around. 2012 wont make cinematic history but it will be a hell of a ride. "

Man, im getting sick of films trying to get by on their special effects alone, mind you, that's nothing new (see Independence Day and Twister)
But then again, i should probably put that cynicism aside to say we really shouldn't judge the film on a mere trailer, if its the kind of film that just doesn't interest you (as is my case) then don't watch it, but i guess we cant just berate it without knowing too much about it (no matter how easy that seem) plus, the disaster films people have been talking about may not have been the best films, but at least most were good for a laugh or two (even if its at their expense) so it may be worth a chance, even if its entire premise seems to be based on the misinterpretation of a theory (again, nothing new in the world of Hollywood).
wow, that was surprisingly positive of me, must have woke up on the right side of the bed for once.
" @Alphazero said:Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you, "The Money Pit"." Turner and Hooch is the worst movie ever made. "WHAT i dare you to name a better Tom Hanks movie, besides from Bachelor Party, which we all know is the greatest movie of all time. "
Better than Turner and Hooch.
" Guys, did you not see the U.S.S. John F. Kennedy destroying the White House?Awesome visual pun is awesome. Also: IT WAS A FUCKING AIRCRAFT CARRIER RIDING INTO WASHINGTON DC ON A GODDAMN TIDAL WAVE. "I will humor you and say that was really fucking sweet. I can't say that I've wanted to see that all my life, but now that I have, I wish I did. Bravo to those writers on that one.
" @Claude said:This again." Who cares. That was the fucking John F. Kennedy rolling into a city on a wave. I liked it. "This. "
Special effects look top-notch.
Hey, the whole "family man" story might not be so great but tons of shit blowing up and throw in a gigantic wave and ReTarDedFisHy is sold.
i wasn't comparing the two films level of special effects, just the fact that both had special effects as a major part of their marketing, instead of their narrative (something i find vastly more important)
no i think i might enjoy that movie more.
" You know what happens when the mayan calander ends, you start back at the begining, because the cycle and such is one big loop. "uh no. you're wrong.
Well, the effects of shit blowing up look neat. That's about it though. If they were going to call it 2012 it should be a ten second video where the Earth fucking explodes. Or maybe just make it the giant-ass asteroid hitting the Earth video on YouTube.
Since that's what people seem to think is going to happen.
You know what, though? December 20th and 21st, 2012 will be amusing-as-hell days in the real world.
At least 2012 looks like it could be cheesy fun, Transformers 2 was just going to be dull from the outset.
" We elected Obama.... doesn't that mean the Apocalypse got called off? "no...apparently to conspiracy theorists Obama is the Antichrist. :-/
it looks meh. the action looks good but i don't care to much about 2012. it won't happen, as in the past there have been saying that this will happen, that will hapen IT NEVER HAPPENS. where is Y2J? where is the aliens that we were suppose to talk to? those things never happened and 9 years later we are still here.
Seriously, how much CGI can you stuff into a movie?
Though guys it doesn't look THAT bad, maybe a B grade rental, but nothing that shitty.
The movie doesn't look that bad, neither does Transformers 2, you just seem like one of those pissed off movie nerds who likes whatever the critics say is good.
NOOOOOO. Freddy Got Fingered is the worst movie ever made. It is so bad I would of been happy if Tom Green died of cancer. He cuts open a deer carcass and runs around with it for fuckin sake.
