This is easily the most irritating movie ever made. It stank so bad I actually had to leave the room to get some fresh air.
For starters it has absolutely nothing to do with the year 2012. Normally that wouldn't be a concern but the producers of this movie have called it that to detract from the similarly titled "2012: end of the world" which can't possibly be worse than this movie.
If you have any grasp of physics, or reality, than the premise, execution and method of the movie will drive you insane. For example, a crew of 4 people sitting around launching spaceships willy-nilly at the press of a button.
Stereotypes galore: foxy Chinese spy/scientist, drunken Russian scientist "From the people's republic of vodka".. yes, seriously, also starring black guy in charge of the facility and white guy protagonist with hot wife and hot daughter Mum and daughter are perpetually in danger from rapists, lightning, earthquakes, avalanches, heat, explosions, terrorists, global warming etc. They can't go 30 seconds without destroying their current vehicle or running a gauntlet of exploding objects.
The "movie" drops in bits of stock footage to set the scene, not an uncommon practice, but it reuses the same footage over and over again. Also, events will happen but instead of seeing something cool like a house exploding the scene will jump to a character saying "Oh, the house exploded".
Save yourself and a friend, don't see this movie.
