‘2012′ Trailer Promises Greatest CGI Animated Film Of The Year

Let’s get one thing straight right up front… Roland Emmerich’s new movie 2012 is going to be incredibly stupid.  Mayan prophecies predicting the end of the world, the laws of physics thrown out the window, an insufferably sappy family at risk, iPhone’s capable of redirecting earthquakes… this movie is going to be bad with a capital SHIT.

And I cannot wait to see it on the big screen.

Why?  Emmerich may suck at drama and real human emotions (with the strange and singular exception of The Patriot), but the man knows large-scale destruction.  The new trailer for 2012 has just gone online and it is a visual feast of mayhem, disaster, and epic devastation.  Click below to check it out.



Sweet.  Even the naysayers among you have got to admit the effects in the first half of the trailer look incredible.  From the Brazilian Jesus statue crumbling to the meteorites to the roads buckling… effing amazing looking.  The bullshit physics (car driving out the back of the jet) and some less impressive CGI start appearing after the one minute mark, but it still promises a grand finale to life as we know it.  Or does it?  See, the government has been secretly building a Noah’s Ark…

But I don’t care how inane it is!  The aircraft carrier washing over and crushing the White House seals the deal… I’ll be checking it out in theaters this November.

Will you?

    Maybe the mayhem will stick around in this movie. Not like Day After... where everything happens in the first 1/2 hour and then we have to sit through boring dialogue.

    Please Emmirich, do not make any attempt to be comedic in this movie because you surely have no taste for it.
  • 1. That trailer was awesome.
    2. They had me once they were literally trying to Noah's Ark it, with giraffe's and everything.
    3. The USS John F. Kennedy flips over and crushes the White House that could, in the real world, still be an Obama White House, where Obama is often compared to JFK, in a movie where the President is Black... Roland Emmerich is CLEARLY A RACIST.
    4. The above is (hopefully) obviously a joke.

    Why the hell is this new comment system being implemented? Is IntenseDebate not good enough?

    And yes, this movie will be horrible, like all of Emmerich's films.

    To Rob Hunter, articlewriter:‘2012′ Trailer Promises Greatest CGI Animated Film Of The Year on IMDB:

    Fuck yourself, you piece of shit! Don't u dare again to insult Roland Emmerich, the "Spielberg of Germany"... his last film, 10.000 BC may wasn't the best, but he's still a german idol of filmmaking. You better shut you fucking mouth and think straith before posting such fucking bloody shit of yours!

    Oh please. The movie is not even out yet and already some people are saying they hate it. I for one am loving it so far and look at Day After Tomorrow and Independence Day They turned out to be hits. I'm gonna give this a benifit of a doubt. So going to see it.
