Movie Review: 2012

By
Mortgage and Lending with National Credit Fixers - Matt Listro

I had the chance to see the movie 2012 this past week.

2012

2012 stars John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Amanda Peet, Oliver Platt, Thandie Newton, Danny Glover and Woody Harrelson.

In my movie reviews I do not discuss the movie in specific detail so as not to ruin your own movie going experience (don't you hate when you see a trailer and feel like you have just seen the whole movie?).

OK here is is on a scale of 1-4 I give it a 1 star.  I think the critics were generous when they gave it a "C".  The one star I gave it came from the special effects.  Yes it's true, this may be one of the most amazing movies EVER when judged solely on spefial effects.  If this is your thing than this movie is a must see for you.

The plot and storyline were so unrealistic that it ruined the whole movie for me.  If they could have made it more plausible then I would have liked it much better.

in short, the scientific basis for the movie was flawed and the action scenes were sooooo unrealistic that it was a flop for me.

I would be leery about any movie that Woody Harrelson is in.

Thanks for the review! The effects look amazing, but it looks like another disaster movie with lost of noise. I'll wait for the dvd.

This is consistent with other reviews I have heard on this one.  After a while these disaster movies all start to run together.

Yep, I just heard the same thing yesterday. I did get the movie story however, and I have to say, flawed doesn't cover what I was told about! So, I will probably not even watch it. Until 2013, then I will have a good laugh!

Thanks for the confirmation. I had heard the same opinion from a couple of sources and it didn't sound like something I wanted to see. "The Blind Side," on the other hand...

Matt, It's a movie type that does have a following, but...

Yeah, I think this is a definae "wait fro the video" movie. Although I'd like to see the special effects on the big screen.

Matt- it looks pretty lame. I wouldn't even pay to rent it, or get it on Pay per view.  I might not even waste the space on the DVR!!

I would put it in the value category of the $1 red box rental!

I am with you. I prefer my movies to have some semblance orpossibility or believability too.

Funny, I never even heard of this until about 1 week ago.  I'll save my money and watch it when it comes to the TV.  But I am a big fan of Woody Harrelson.
