2012 Ratings & Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Cusack, with his one-of-the-guys face and his nice way with child actors, does creditable work as an Average American Dad trying to put things right.

Laremy Legel
2012 is the rare case of a bad film that I'm nevertheless obliged to recommend you see.
Observer
Sara Vilkomerson
2012 is reminiscent of yesteryear '80s shlock-tastic blockbusters -- total popcorn entertainment with ridiculous dialogue and impossible situations and special effects that will boggle the brain for a good two-plus hours.
At the Movies
A.O. Scott
Even though this movie's running time of two and a half hours is about one hour too long, there's still some pretty cool disaster stuff on the way.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
2012 is so long, and its special effects are at once so outrageous and so thunderously predictable, that by the time I lurched from the theatre I felt that three years had actually passed and that the apocalypse was due any second.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
[Nothing] will give you more respect for how difficult it is to be an actor than watching top talent like John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Amanda Peet and Oliver Platt struggling to treat the film's ungodly language and situations with perfect seriousness.
HitFix
Daniel Fienberg
It's over two-and-a-half hours of Roland Emmerich simulating the experience of the "ID4" dog outrunning the fireball. It's slaphappy ludicrousness taken to an epic level.
Detroit News
Tom Long
This is fear-mongering, sentimental, horror show shtick, but it's also fairly competent, making 2012 a work of awful efficiency
The New Republic
Christopher Orr
[J]ust as the cyclones and tsunamis of The Day After Tomorrow ultimately succumbed to a bad case of narrative frostbite, 2012's ludicrous thrills begin burning themselves out by the movie's midpoint.
Dallas Morning News
Tom Maurstad
If the viewer were ever invited to think or feel about what's happening on-screen, the movie's wow-whoa-ain't-it-cool momentum would collapse in a heap of horrific preposterousness.
Chicago Reader
Cliff Doerksen
As you might expect with director Roland Emmerich, the movie isn't a patch on the trailer.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Despite the frenetic action scenes, the movie sags, done in by multiple story lines that undercut one another and by the heaviness of its conceit.
Movie Retriever
Brian Tallerico
You don't get off a rollercoaster and complain about the lack of storytelling.
Washington Post
Dan Kois
The crowning achievement in Emmerich's long, profitable career as a destroyer of worlds.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Only a movie critic without a sense of humor would question whether you could really drive a limo straight through a collapsing skyscraper...or whether the Dalai Lama really owns a pickup truck.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Preposterous? You bet. But 2012 delivers the disaster-movie goods better than any other popcorn movie we've seen since the '80s.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
This oafish epic about the End of Days -- as predicted by the Mayan calendar -- operates in a dead zone roughly equidistant between parody and idiocy.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
I could fairly describe the 2012 plot as follows: The highest-paid members of an indifferent cast survive the massive floods and giant fireballs that cause our planet's destruction.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
The movie is an undeniable visual spectacle, but just as unequivocally a cheesy, ridiculous story.
Christianity Today
Steven D. Greydanus
If 2012 is an apotheosis of all disaster movies, that means it's also an apotheosis of all disaster-movie clichés.
