It shouldn't be possible to be surprised of what 2012 offers as you enters its world. This is CGI produced disaster movie for almost every $ spent, then add as many cliches as possible and some decent enough actors and actresses.
I don't mind every now and again some action and thrills at the screen not meant to be thought about, just enjoyed. This still wasn't very entertaining. I liked Woody Harrelson. The rest of the acting is mostly about running fast, just miss out on dying for the tenth time and throw out a new cliche as a line. That considered, Cusack is enjoyable as always and Peet and Newton are eye-candy.
While the idea for the plot is decent enough, it's not especially well suited to take to the big screen. Write a book. More enjoyable that way. Watching tons and tons of CGI with disaster as subject is hardly very entertaining. At least that's the way I see it. Still. I've seen them done worse as well, but this movie is too long, too filled with cliches, too much close calls on the same theme and it's as predictable as menstruation.
On the other hand they at least are realistic about the rich and powerful way of dealing with the knowledge of such an event.
