Overall Rating:

(out of 5)

I don't know if I was just having an off day or something, but this movie was pretty stupid. There were a few "haha" moments, but the "tragic" moments didn't make you feel any real tragedy at all. It was a movie filled with explosions, ground breaking apart, etc. Not worth seeing.

With 2012 coming up, and all the concerns about it, I'd say that it isn't necessarily unbelievable. They have preparations going on worldwide, such as bunkers and such, in order to keep some people alive if disaster does hit in 2012. I don't think anything was necessarily outlandish.

Special effects were well done, but there were far too many... or I guess not. I mean, the end of the world would have a lot of explosions, its just... ugh. Such a terrible movie.
