Even though this movie's running time of two and a half hours is about one hour too long, there's still some pretty cool disaster stuff on the way.

2012 is so long, and its special effects are at once so outrageous and so thunderously predictable, that by the time I lurched from the theatre I felt that three years had actually passed and that the apocalypse was due any second.

The movie is an undeniable visual spectacle, but just as unequivocally a cheesy, ridiculous story.

Roland Emmerich is an apocalypse chef. In 2012 he cooks America till it boils, adding live meat to the process at judicious intervals.
