Roland Emmerich's 2012 provides plenty of visual thrills, but lacks a strong enough script to support its massive scope and inflated length.

Cusack, with his one-of-the-guys face and his nice way with child actors, does creditable work as an Average American Dad trying to put things right. Sep 7, 2011 | Rating: B | Full Review…

2012 is reminiscent of yesteryear '80s shlock-tastic blockbusters -- total popcorn entertainment with ridiculous dialogue and impossible situations and special effects that will boggle the brain for a good two-plus hours. Dec 7, 2009 | Full Review…

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. Nov 16, 2009

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. Nov 16, 2009 | Full Review…

[Nothing] will give you more respect for how difficult it is to be an actor than watching top talent like John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Amanda Peet and Oliver Platt struggling to treat the film's ungodly language and situations with perfect seriousness. Nov 13, 2009 | Rating: 1.5/5 | Full Review…

Wears out its welcome at a ridiculous two hours and 40 minutes, throwing out every cliché in the disaster movie handbook. Jun 6, 2019 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

An overlong, overindulgent action film that wants to be fun and exciting, but is really rather dull and exhausting. May 10, 2019 | Rating: C | Full Review…

2012 is all about this irrational determination to live and perpetuate our crappy civilization. The film concentrates fiercely on who's going to get a spot on the ark in the end. Oct 30, 2018 | Full Review…

...seriously, how often do we want to escape into worlds that are hell-bent on ravaging our sense of security with invading aliens and furious natural disasters? Jun 29, 2013 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

You cannot say, in the terms of the life and career that Emmerich has built for himself, this is not the apex of his work. The world blows up. The world blows up a lot. The world blows up fantastically. There are worst quests in life. Jun 22, 2013 | Rating: B | Full Review…

Emmerich favours hoisting his camera high and dry to give audiences the best panoramic view, but it removes all tension from proceedings - you're always at a safe distance. Sep 29, 2012 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
