Yeah! Typical Ronald Emmerich! There was a lot of hue and cry over this 2012 thing.I suspect some people deliberately did this for making money.

The world ended 6 years ago? What did I miss? My biggest gripes with this movie are the bad cg, a convenient chain of events, and some pretty terrible child acting. This movie doesn't have a climax or any suspense because they let you know from the beginning that the world will end in 2012. My favorite character was Woody Harrelson's character, and he died less than half way through by being engulfed by a cg super volcano. The whole movie, the crew flies from Yellowstone, to Vegas, to China, to Mt. Everest, giving you a major headache! Also, they conveniently have two pilots that they just know, and they both die by the end. Concluding this awful film, it's boring, unrealistic, badly directed, and very funny!

In 2012 Woody Harrelson plays the part of an irritating goggle-eyed hippie eco-prophet who correctly predicts the imminent transformation of Yellowstone National Park into a super volcano that will destroy the United States. Harrelson hams up the part seemingly bent on pushing the viewer beyond the bounds of annoyance and into a ballpark where cinema goers must beat themselves with baseball bats senseless to the point where the awfulness that is 2012 can be expunged from memory. Yet, at least Harrelson does the viewer a favour by dying quickly. In that his is the least irritating of a tidal sea of god awful characters in a movie which is so bad makes the prospect of Armageddon seem like a bliss devout.

Dialogue was comically poor. But just before the 5 minute mark the premise is revealed and it was so terrible I gave up and stopped watching.SPOILER (Literally)The neutrinos from the sun have mutated and turned into a new kind of particle that acts like a microwave. Deep underground they reveal a column of water boiling away merrily ...... humans, obviously, not affected... hot dogs not slowly cooking in their packets... microwave popcorn isn't jumping off supermarket shelves... water anywhere else on the planet just fine...... no... only water deep underground in a neutrino detection pool is boiling. Because ... well ...neutrinos. underground. stuff.So the sun is now a microwave and the eaths core is cooking, water is boiling, but only in special places ... and blood isn't.The fact that I just paid to rent this movie is starting to boil my urine. Avoid, it's a complete crock. For the budget you'd think they'd hire someone with a red pen, to strike out all the utter garbage in the script. It would have worked just as well with something a little more credible ...... like a huge coronal discharge ... or a sudden increase in heat output generally ... or zombie teddy-bears with nasty burny lazer eyesIn the end I chose to stop the movie and re-watch weekend at bernies.
