The majority of modern films dependent upon effects laden storylines are generally precisely that. A story with all of the normal attributes that is used to hold the fx sequences together. 2012 is no different. No better, occasionally worse. The point of interest here is how the filmmaker has used digital technology to up the fx ante. The actual story is almost irrelevant.

I didn't think much of the story or the characters or even the actors, but the visual effects were stunning. I will be buying it on Blu purely for the visuals. And why not?

That movie had so much intense activity going on all the time, that my stomach hurt after it was over. Not sure I can take it again.

And I like John Cusack, but the casting was awful.

I also will be buying this simply for the visuals. It's going to look great on my screen! Damn I love HD! I also enjoyed the movie, how about that? :) Still ID4 is my favorite RE film, followed by Stargate. Day After Tomorrow was almost OK, but 10,000 BC was the worst movie I've seen in a long time.

Haven't you folks heard? Archaeologists have just unearthed what appears to be a second half of the Mayan calendar. It seems that we're good to go until 3012.

That's right; the first one they forgot to count weekends and holidays.

2012 was certainly silly, but it'll look great on my new 9' screen, so I'll have to buy it and skip to the last hour which, in my opinion, was the best part. :)
