This movie reminds me a lot of The Day After Tomorrow — tons of cataclysmic, end-of-the-world explosions and awesomeness. Or at least that’s what I thought that Day After Tomorrow was going to be. And for about 15 minutes, it was. I spent the rest of it wanting to bang my head against the wall to make the nonsense stop because things like people outrunning the cold were happening.

So I realize this might be like that proverb about a dog returning to its own vomit when I say this, but … I’m pretty psyched about 2012. It looks like it’s got some great special effects. Sure there’s a minimal plot about building an ark, but as long as stuff keeps getting destroyed in awesome ways, I’ll be happy.

Here’s hoping for better end of times this go-around.
