2012 (2009)

[neo_reloaded]

This movie was massively idiotic. I'm all for a fun dumb flick every now and then, but there's something so lifeless about these Emmerich disaster epics. I mean, it's not even the science that bugs me - I found the relationships between characters to be much more befuddling. Particularly

[Show spoiler]the death of the stepdad. The wife had a 5 second freakout, and then that plot point was NEVER discussed again. The movie ends a mere couple scenes later with Cusack and his ex-wife acting like everything was back to normal between them and neither cared the new husband was gone. Not even the little boy who idolized him had any reaction!
