My favourite genre...
You just gotta look at the cast on IMDB:
2012 (2009/I)
Cussack alone makes it worthy for me as one of my favourite actors and I don't think i've seen a bad film where he's been involved. But another seriously notable name for me is Chiwetel Ejiofor, not the biggest name in Hollywood, but he's played some brilliant characters, Lola in KinkyBoots and The Operative in Serentity being two that spring to mind.
The trailer for me makes the film look absolutely immense.
I also have to admit being a big fan of both Independance day, and The Day after tomorrow.
Anyhoo, this is a film i've been looking out for, for the last 3 years, it will be cheesy, have cgi overkill, a weak story and various other things which will have a lot of people asking where they can get back those two hours of their life, but it'll be fantastic for people like me, who get a real kick from this particular kind of film...
I do wish they'd learn to step away from the stereotypical Hollywood ending of hope though, it's annoying knowing that all will be well in the end... Maybe 2012 will be the film to actually break that mold... Sadly I doubt it though.
