Director: Roland Emmerich
With: John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Thandie Newton, Oliver Platt, Woody Harrelson, etc.
A few years ago, I warned our listeners to avoid Independence Day, a big, loud and awful movie directed by Emmerich. But, did people listen to me? Hell, no! It became the biggest movie of the year. And, it still stinks.
So does 2012. Based on the wildly misinterpreted legends of the end of the Mayan calendar, the Mayans believe that time just rolls over like a speedometer, this bomb destroys the world in big, expensive and stupid ways. The plot is ridiculous, the characters cardboard, the situations silly and the acting (overacting?) amateurish.
