2012...the number of disaster movies rolled into 1

A new movie (2012) is about a specific year (2012) and gives us exactly what we want:

2012 super cool special effects scenes, 2012 explosions, 2012 giant waves, 2012 huge clouds of smoke and fire, 2012 dogs saved, and 2012 narrow escapes and heroic gestures that lead our race to escape it's doom.

Unfortunately the movie also comes with

2012 bad lines of dialogue
2012 flat characters that all get killed so the audience wouldn't notice
2012 cliche plot twists
2012 scientifically inaccurate statements

All in all, a fun movie to watch on a big screen with loud speakers. Don't expect any real story, or creative characters. It may be scary for some young kids but I thought they pulled a lot of punches myself. I'm surprised they took 3 hours to destroy the world, personally I like the 3 1/2 second method employed by The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.
