2012 - 'Obvious spoilers warning'
Discussion
Saw 2012 last night. Obviously most people will go and see it for the Cgi destruction rather than the script and acting and on the Cgi front, not too bad, but some glaring quality issues.
However in terms of a film, its gash. Actually quite horrible with a god awful script, repetitive ‘saved in the nick of time’ scenes, terrible plot and characterisation, stereotypical storyline and casting and generally ,cgi apart, a terrible film.
Just in case you follow stereotypes:
Friendly yapping dog saved – check
Government acting naughty – check
Man not spoken to kids for a while in bad parent musing – check
Ability to dodge every single death resulting injury whilst all around you die horribly – check.
Man who cant fly plane can suddenly fly plane easily – check
Cars leaping massive jumps with no damage – check
Product Placement – check (Sony Laptop anyone?)
Minor scientist suddenly gets promoted to chief adviser – check
Comical Russian accents – check
And it has the worst final line in any film I have ever seen (and I quote verbatim):
Kid: “No more pull ups”
Dad: “Nice”
Cue credits….
Seriously.
CGI: 7.5/10
Film: 1 out of 10.
Overall: 3/10 if being charitable.

saw this last night. not at all great, which is a pity for some of the mostly excellent cast.
see above for the cliche's.
i nearly left during the antonov scene, laughable.
effects pretty good fo rthe most part, but as for empathy for the charachters, the script let them all down badly pretty much.
3-4/10 at most.
