I actually love to watch "bad" movies sometimes....the "it's so bad that it's good" thing.
Such as Snakes on the Plane, Battle Field Earth, etc...
But this movie is just so insulting to the audience....it assumes that you have an IQ of 10 or something. I knew it was over the top and went to watch it for the CG effects....but because the film took a "serious side" to the story, it was so hard to watch. Some reasons:
- making up random science facts (don't take your kids...it'll ruin their education)
- after LA is completely destroyed by sinking into the sea, the main character's wife still thinks that her husband is making this whole "2012" thing up
- while burning rocks are falling all around him, the main character searches for a piece of paper in a small pile....looking through each one....instead of just grabbing the whole thing and run
- a "student pilot in single engine training" manages to start, take off, navigate 1000+ miles to another location, and land in a Twin engine aircraft. Later he also flies a huge Russian Antonov An-225!
- Only the United States can save the world...everyone on earth listens to its president
- *SPOILER*: to save the human race, devices are built to hold them but can only fit 400,000 people. But instead of filling it with scientists, bright young minds, strong leaders, etc....you have to buy your way in. Thus, rich spoiled kids, russian mobsters, gold-digger wives, etc. will be the future of earth....great! (and the fact that after Earth is destroyed, money will be worthless....so having rich people onboard serves what purpose?)
the list goes on and on...i think i made it through about 50% of it...haha
