It goes from being unbareably corny and cheesey to awesomely bad

just reminds me that the key to success is always a V8.

looks awesomely good tbh

Yeah saw this clip. If you're gonna make a ending-world-is-chasing-you scene make it at least slightly more tangible.

john cusack is so dreamy

And no one even seems horrified. They're on the edge of their seats but s*** if that was happening i would be in horrific shock at the situation. Ahh its only the end of the Earth and all life as we know it, not a big deal.

haha awesome.

cool cinematography... but yer, very high unbelievability. if that really is a word. :D i'd prolly watch it for a larf.

who cares how realistic it is 3dee, its a f***ing end of the world movie.

thats awesome :), thats date as my brithday before next day this screen start :)

epic in a crazy over the top way :)

Looks s***.

Yeah I know but it would be really effective if they showed the possibilities of human emotion during such an event. If that was really happening I think most people would be scared out of their f***ing minds. Like biblical end of all human existence scared. Oh well. I'll still see it for the apocalypse-factor :P

It may be because I'm hungover, but that made me motion sick.

man that's some bad blue screen

^ this

Yeh bugger realism, this s*** is pure popcorn cinema. More please!

Is it just me or does that plane not seem to be able to go up...must be one of those hover planes that can only fly 1/2 a meter from the ground...

needs more special effects.

the pilot didnt get to finish his flight check, therefore the plane didnt fly properly.

:P

I was thinking the exact same thing, he took off from the airport, then for some reason he is having to dodge buildings, pretty sure an airport would be far enought away from sky scrapers even for a little plane to have cleared them.

Was just sitting there waiting for the scene of the plane suddenly being able to fly up realy fast, and it came right on queue after he flew between the 2 crashing buildings.

Must've been a treadmill under that runway.

hollywood just pushes the 'omg they JUST escaped that!' scenario just a little too far imo. it loses all it's edge-of-the-seat impact coz you know they are gonna escape in a truely unbelievable set of circumstances. the scenes are still cool though coz, now detached from the plight of the main characters, i can watch all the detail of the cgi mayhem. all the little cars n people who were unlucky enough not to be an invincable main character & subsequently fall to thier deaths :P

I think i just watched the best scene of the whole movie.

Thank you internet for saving me $6.50.

That plane scene was just stupid. Why not get altitude as soon as you can, rather than diving back down into the streets. Sure maybe if it was Battlefield 2, but not when the world is ending. Gosh

drop in air pressure from the world falling out from underneath it would have kept him down longer than usual

or something

swamp gas reflecting off venus.

If only Neill Blomkamp or the Cloverfield dude did this, it wouldn't full of cheesey badness.

The you-know-they're-obviously-going-to-escape-so-f***ing-get-it-over-and-done-with-already thing that "Hollywood" does is what makes these action flicks crap.

And no one even seems horrified. They're on the edge of their seats but s*** if that was happening i would be in horrific shock at the situation. Ahh its only the end of the Earth and all life as we know it, not a big deal.

Well of course they're not horrified. Wouldn't want people to appear horrified on the 2012 Experience: The Ride at Disneyworld/Universal Studios/Dreamworld/whatever now would you?

I dunno. It looks horribly bad but I dunno if it's cheesy enough to become good.

Looks like a tops disaster movie, I mean, who really goes to see these movies expecting to see a good story or a realistic portrayal of how people would act at the end of the world? You go to see these movies to watch s*** get f***ed up!

You go to see these movies to watch s*** get f***ed up!

Pretty much.

thats awesome :), thats date as my brithday before next day this screen start :)

am i f***in drunk or did that make no sense lol

I'm fully aware of this, but nothing I've seen of this movie has got me even remotely interested. I ended up skipping through that video in the OP after about 3 minutes because it seemed really generic and boring.

I was actually looking forward to this movie. The trailers made it look silly and far-fetched, but still fun and effects/eye-candy.

And then I saw this 5 minute clip. Holy f*** that's just ridiculous. It'd be okay if LA imploded not long after they left, but the fact that the street is collapsing 3 feet behind them... and then they drive through a building...
Sigh.

You're forgetting though, this is made by the guy who made the Day After Tomorrow, where the hero is chased accross the street and through the corridors of a library by cold air. I'm not sure exactly why your expectations for this were so high :P

Oh man, now it all makes sense.

That limo through the building part was f***ing ridiculous.

looks awesome, cant wait to see it

Obligatory repost:

Kinda makes you wish it really was the end of the world so we didn't have to put up with these retarded Hollywood disaster movies.

Only 3 years left :) See you at the end of the world, yeh?

haha mantarok, that was f***in brilliant!

so we didn't have to put up with these retarded Hollywood disaster movies

Are you under a court order to watch them or something?

Just saw this. There's lots of expected close-calls (I would say too many), but if you focus on the "end if the world" part, well... f***ing mind boggling! The scale of everything turnig to s*** was insane, CGI was amazing. The whole of continents are levelled right before your eyes. Ignore the Hollywood, definitely see it for the event.

Volcano eruption... O_O

You guys are doing it wrong

http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/2012/

Yeah, saw it on Thursday, I quite enjoyed it. Theres some ridiculously corny dialogue, and its pretty contrived, but who cares, I was just there to see s*** blow up and LOTS of s*** blows up quite impressively. As far as disaster movies go, its pretty damn awesome.

The date is wrong anyway.

Dicussion, 2012 about 208 years too early. In Finish

Hey s***, thats what happened to namak when freeza destroyed the worlds core.

ausome trailer OP.
going to see at balmoral tonight 7.30p.m

a well scripted/acted indie film dealing with relationships, just doesnt get me as excited as this sort of fodder.......

going to see in gold class tonight. should be epic corny.

Makes me want to watch it : /

Saw today, was great popcorn flick. Anyone who whinges about it being unrealistic or poorly scripted fails at life.

rad movie. see it definitely.

blue screen when vatican falls......terrible.....
yuri the russian....classic !!!!!!

best bit of the movie is the OP teaser trailer but imo

saw it at a preview screening at vmax, was so bad it was indeed awesome. Best of the bad ones, on the big big screen was great. I laughed so much it was fantastic.

I personally think John Cusack is a good actor, and the black guy from firefly, but the dialogue is so corny even they can't make it seem real, just comes out funny. Loved it.

The event? Incredibly well made and pretty jaw-dropping, really.
The actors? Coulda been better. John Cusack didn't really fit an end-of-the-world scenario, I think.
The dialogue?Not bad (given the actors), but definitely very corny.
The close calls?Yeah they woulda been dead within the first five minutes. Driving through the building? Yeah, rrright.

The main kickers for me were the Yellowstone explosion and pyroclastic effects at LA or Vegas (forget) and the overall mind boggling scale of the destruction, such as the wave coming in on the president and that Indian dude.

Yeah, the sense of scale was awesome, and yellowstone was prolly my favourite too, that was epic. Woody Harrelson as awesome as the crazy guy too.

The bit near the start where the president gathers all the world's leaders together and goes "Gentlemen, I have some bad news, the world is going to end" (or something to that effect) was so ridiculously corny. It was meant to be some serious moment with a lot of gravity and impact, but the cinema just cracked up laughing when I saw it.

But yeah, great popcorn flick, lots of fun, definitely recommended for the big screen.

Just finished watching it. It was touch and go right at the end and I didn't think John Cusack would make it. And then there were all the choppers flying around and people emerging with the dawn of a new day - just like The Day After Tomorrow.

Jesus a Khel AND infi recommendation... kiss of death anyone? :P

woulda been better if bruce willis was the lead.
starts off in limo driver uniform, ends up in torn/battered wife beater.

and john cusack was in surrogates instead.

just saw it too. was an enjoyable 2 and a half hours. the effects were pretty awsome.

just like The Day After Tomorrow

same producer lol

i think you mean director

Yeah that

I saw this movie a couple of weeks ago and thought it was terrible. It could be summed up with one sentence:

The human race gets bitch slapped back to Africa.

Loved the Arnie quote, "... unlike many of the tough characters I have portrayed during my film career..."

cgi looks ARMAZING so i might go see it just for that
