I had no interest in seeing this movie, honestly. I rented it cause my kids enjoy these disaster movies. They’re boys…things that blow up and implode are cool.

The thing is, one cannot go into 2012 expecting fine cinema. It’s an orgy for the eyes, really. A ridiculous, over the top, orgy. There are 3 scenes of a plane taking off before the ground caves in or some other nearly adverted disaster, and about 2 ridiculous car scenes. It’s repetitive.

There is one saving grace to the movie. The Americans don’t save the day. It’s more of a group effort. Also, I don’t think there are any scenes of New York getting destroyed for once.

Even so, this is the type of movie that is good for one viewing and that’s it.
