The latest disaster movie from director Roland Emmerich, 2012 refers to the year when, according to legend, the world will come to an end. As a consequence, the movie is chock full of visual effects that are quite impressive and, arguably, the best thing about it.
As one would expect, the screenplay isn’t memorable, and character development plays second fiddle to the visuals’ requirements. However, pretty much all the actors involved do a pretty good job, especially given the material on hand, even though you can feel the interactions as forced here and there.
Unfortunately, there are a few too many typically overblown, C’mon moments that bring down the overall value of the final product, but you gotta know to expect them given both the director and the theme.
