One of the best films i have seen
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Blistering performances.
Lacks so many things to be the movie its suppose to be,, lacks meaning,,imagination, and so on,, poorly executed
The world ended 6 years ago? What did I miss? My biggest gripes with this movie are the bad cg, a convenient chain of events, and some pretty terrible child acting. This movie doesn't have a climax or any suspense because they let you know from the beginning that the world will end in 2012. My favorite character was Woody Harrelson's character, and he died less than half way through by being engulfed by a cg super volcano. The whole movie, the crew flies from Yellowstone, to Vegas, to China, to Mt. Everest, giving you a major headache! Also, they conveniently have two pilots that they just know, and they both die by the end. Concluding this awful film, it's boring, unrealistic, badly directed, and very funny!
A potentially viable sci-fi story taken way beyond the rediculous! The miraculous and implausible escapes and "survival" scene are so frequent and commonplace, and so nonsensical, that it takes intestinal fortitude to sit through the movie! The CGI efforts should be applauded.
To answer this question: No. It seems every bit of material shot was used. This is, by any definition, the longest movie I have ever suffered through.It has become a feat of strength and will of power of mine. Much like the characters in this film, I ask myself this: Will I live through this ordeal to tell my story ? I hope so. Bid me farewell.
