      I'm not some CG hater, but that's absurd. Why bother adding real actors?

      No matter where you go, there you are.

        I've studied a lot about 2012(the real one) and was surprised at first to see a movie for it. But who would have guessed(me) they take one of the most ancient mysteries and just seemly turn it into a disaster movie. I like the part where the crack in the chapel goes in between Adam and God,lol. You're right, why even bother wasting actors on this. Shouldn't it be called The Day After Tomorrow's Volcano, Earthquake, Tornado Armageddon?

          When I first saw the thread title I thought it had something to do with the Arthur Clarke book. Thank god it didn't.

          Another ''watch us destroy national landmarks'' disater movie. Yawn Imma gonna pass on this one.

              It's funny, with each new (crappy) disaster movie we're getting closer and closer to one where they just up and blow up the Earth. With extended shots of famous landmarks falling down of course.

              So many people in the world. And so many bullets. Lots and lots of bullets.

                Thread proves how tough a crowd Arlong Park is.

                And I don't get the why use real actors bit what's wrong with that?

                  It seems like 90% of what the film has to offer is CG.

                  If so, why not go the Beowulf, Scrooge, FF route.

                    I do really hate when movies rely on CGI, hoping it'll make it better. 300 is an exception though, that movie was awesome 😉 . Though that 20 minute scene of Leonidus slicing people up was kind of annoying.

                      Wow, what a way to make profit off of another end of the world theory… I do agree with the CGI, but the sheeple will just go to watch it anyway, since well sharp images and high definition can pretty much sell everything.

                      Uh... Another surviving apocalypse movie. End of the world, and somehow people survive… You've watched the plot once you know what happens. It just makes people seem more like cockroaches than humans... I mean this thing just seems like it has no true story beyond people trying to avoid being killed and trying to survive the Apocalypse, with of course the director trying to show what it might look like. I'd take that kind of death than anything else right now, seems more fun.

                      You know for once, I'd like to see an end of the world movie where no one survives. Interesting twist…

                            Does anyone other than me know someone who believes that 2012 is connected to aliens coming down to Earth, giving us technology, and some other shit in there that leads to the end of the world? …It's not me, I swear.

                              !

                              Actually no, this is the first I've heard of that. When I thought 2012 would kill us all I thought it'd be by nuclear warfare.

                                Oh for goodness sake, this just goes to show how cheap Hollywood is trying to profit from a lame-ass, harbringer of doom prophecy. The 2012 prophecy is dumb and people who take it seriously are dumb.

                                Still I got a nice chuckle when the Sistine Chapel crushed all those priests. Talk about irony.

                                  The movie looks okey.

                                    I wish if 2012 does happen, the first city to go is Hollywood (like seriously, why do we need another cheesy movie like this)?

                                    The only thing I also have to say about if 2012 does happen I do find it kind of obvious that it will go almost like this. Look at one thing, if the moon was destroyed by something the oceans of the Earth will go out of control, for example, like water that is spinning around in a washer/dryer. Second of all, though this one is less believable, when something ginormous go even near to Earth it will cause Earthquakes and such , since the gravitational crap of it will be huge, since it have a large probability that it's gigantic (thats why Independence 4 was incorrect)

                                      Yea, that was my favorite part of the trailer too. Would have been funnier if it showed them going to hell, because everyone knows it's the Mormons who are right😉.

                                        You can either take another disaster movie which come around every so often or another spoof movie which comes around every few months.

                                          I don't actually believe that 2012 is the end of the world. More like something life-changing is revealed. I don't know, I really hope the world doesn't end :ninja: .

                                            Gets 30 seconds into trailer and stops

                                            God, ANOTHER Armageddon movie? Bad enough I have to hear about this 2012 stuff from people, no way am I watching a MOVIE about the event and/or what happens afterwards.

                                            Pass.

                                                I saw the trailer on TV, and think it does not look bad. I don't care about the topic for say, but I want to be entertained by collateral damage every once in a while.

                                                  This movie looks terrible. It's made by the same guys that made Godzilla and The Day After Tomorrow among other amazingly cheesy CG based movies. I hate how in the trailer the plane goes inbetween the two buildings instead of above or around them, unnecessarily epic.

                                                        LMAO, everyone knows that it's the Large Hardon Collider secretly doing us in. At this very moment, there is a black hole deep within the Earth, threatening to consume us all.
