Title: Really?
Review: My God, this movie makes 1951's "When Worlds Collide" look like "Citizen Kane". 2012 is sad indictment of Hollywood. It is a ridiculous movie with a cliché a minute. The scene where Calfornia is falling into the sea for instance, is a non-stop montage of narrow cliff-hanging escape among rivers of lava, buckling pavement and exploding skyscrapers all set to a John Williamesque sweeping musical score that is almost laughable. John Cusack's character achieves these feats of rapid fire skin of your teeth escapes while driving a limousine which among other passengers included his two children. Placing children in danger to cheaply raise the viewers feeling of angst is one of the lowest forms of Hollywood moving making. The CGI effects are passable but often very video game-like. Watch this movie only if you have 2 1/2 hours to completely throw away.
