2012 Doomsday (2008)

Some things I liked some I did not.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This is really the greatest movie i ever have seen. Watched it over and over again. Best acting, best special effects and a great story. I recommend this to everybody!

I am quite happily admit being Catholic but this end of days movie simply did do it for me. The atmosphere of this film was very very dull with its characters and the pacing. There was nothing about 2012: Doomsday that made want to care about what was going on in this movie and why I should care about the characters. Much of the dialogue here gets muddled along without any sense of what the characters are trying to say. 2012: Doomsday is notable for being one of the last acting work from Cliff De Young as he has been in anything since 2010, two years after the release of 2012: Doomsday. Doomsday for me truly refers to the quality of the movie itself as it was quite a doom in not having any enjoyment out of this film.

Some movies are so awful, they're funny. It movie is just awful. The writing and production is at an elementary school level. The movie is a train wreck. You know you shouldn't look but you can't stop watching it. At the beginning of the movie there is a volcano that looks like a grade six science project. This should be the first clue that the rest of the movie won't be much better. There are a couple of hot looking blondies in the movie, however their characters are terrible. When all hell is breaking loose I guess they forgot to tell the people in the background. The people are just walking and driving about, doing their daily routines. It's insulting to Christians, insulting to the Maya and insulting to anyone that thinks they might spend time to waste on this trash.

I'm fond of movies that are quite poorly done. Especially the low-budget ones, such as this near-gem. The special effects of the ground cracking open were fine. However, those of snow falling on the Mexican forest while the temperature also fell and fell were unusually terrible. Not only didn't the snow cling to leaves, but it didn't even melt on them. Nor did below-freezing temperatures affect the vegetation itself. I'm too old to have any more kids, but were I to have a son I'd name him Stock Footage --- in the same spirit as Rip Torn. There was a fair amount of that, too. And the acting was at best so-so. So, ordinarily I'd give this the IMDb equivalent of a C-. However, 2012 Doomsday supposedly is a Christian movie. It tries to combine Christianity with the supposed expiration of the Mayan calendar cycle next December. It teaches that the Last Judgment can be diverted, postponed. It teaches other things that Jesus warned Christians of in Matthew 7:15-20. Since in 21st Century America most people don't read the Bible much, this movie … by the examples it portrays … could lead viewers to believe that they're saved when they aren't.
