I enjoyed the movie but I did not get the storyline though,however I havent seen many of John Cusacks movies or atleast any of his good ones. It is based on an event in the mayan calendar that I do not belive will happen on 21-12-2012. overall it is a good movie but I cant say its the best movie ive seen.

This is seriously the worst movie I'e seen for a long time. All these people saying it is great must have very little in between their ears.

Just went and WOW.

Don't go if you're into overly developed and real story lines, just go to be blown away by it all. So forget what you prefer in films, and just go and become dazzled by the epic-ness that it 2012.

This is the worst film i've seen, ever. No joking. There's nothing, nothing credible in the film. The personal stories are so cheesy and repetitive. The action is so repetitive. They scape by plane three times in exactly the same way. It just seems you are seeing a video game instead of a movie. Disgusting. Really disgusting that exists people who likes this. If you like this, then you are going to like everything. Because there's nothing worse than this.

Irwin Allen would be proud of this movie. Only a swarm of killer bees was missing.

I went into the cinema with low expectations. Knew the special effects would be great, and new the script/plot would be under par, and because of that I walked out thinking it was $10 well spent in terms of entertainment. Which is what it was. Pure Entertainment. AND much better than the load of bore that was Transformers 2.

I thought John Cusak was great, the bits he wasn't so much so would be due to the acting around him. Best scene was any with him and Woody Harrelson. Definitely worth watching at the cinema, all the good things about the movie would be lost on dvd.

I also agree, please no Independence Day sequel it's probably one of Emmerich's best movies (second only to The Patriot). Don't go spoiling it with a sequel.

special effects?? yeah they were great, the only thing great with the movie besides the nutty woody harrelson character. except that every awesome action scene was cut before you could see the results of the effect. the aircraft carrier crashes into the white house and then suddenly it cuts to some crappy sappy dialogue scene without even finishing the action.

the day after tomorrow was much better plus eye candy with jake gyllenhaal. john cusack should stay in nineties indie flicks that suit his hideous mullet hairstyle. .. although he was pretty good in war,inc.

bobsyouruncle, no, scientists are not freaking out over any aspect of 2012.

I enjoyed the movie, I thought the premise was absolute rubbish, but I didn't go there expecting a cerebral plot and Oscar-worthy acting, but awesome special effects and gigantic explosions.

This movie was so bad. I hated the cheesy american humour. I dont think it needed any funny bits at all, and the only parts I laughed at (laughter in disbelief how lame it waas) was the references, like arnold swatzenager and the queen, it was just incredibly hammy and stupid. The effects and big disaster scenes were great, but other than that, worst acting ive seen in a long time. I did not get why Woody harrelsons character had to be comic, it just did not work. John Cusack was o.k, but everyone else was CRAP. especially amanda peet. What a waste of space.

Watched it and totally what i expected. Intense CGI, typically bad hollywood story-line and just utter chaos. Pure entertainment thats will never win over the critics and worth about 3 stars. On another note, please do no sequel to independence day. A classic hollywood blockbuster but a sequel would ruin it.
