2012 (2009) MOVIE REACTION - THIS WAS NONSTOP THRILLS! - FIRST TIME WATCHING - REVIEW

Welcome to our first-time watching as we react to 2012 (2009).
Directed by Roland Emmerich, this film takes us on a wild ride through an apocalyptic world where earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions threaten to wipe out humanity.
We've got to say we were absolutely mesmerized by the VFX work done in this film.
2012 is a 2009 American epic science fiction disaster film directed by Roland Emmerich, written by Emmerich and Harald Kloser, and stars John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Oliver Platt, Thandiwe Newton, Danny Glover and Woody Harrelson. Based on the 2012 phenomenon, its plot follows geologist Adrian Helmsley (Ejiofor) and novelist Jackson Curtis (Cusack) as they struggle to survive an eschatological sequence of events including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, megatsunamis, and a global flood.
We hope that you enjoy our reactions, commentary and review as we discuss the film's mind-blowing special effects, intense action scenes, and nail-biting moments of survival that has us rooting for the family as they attempted to overcome each challenge.

so glad you guys watched this. Such an underrated film. A great follow up that also has Jon Cusack in it is Con Air with Nic Cage, and i swear to GOD!, if you don't watch Con Air, well.....then......erm...there's not really much i can do about it....but....just...trust me. Con Air, Face Off, The Rock, Armageddon, and Independence Day. in no particular order. these films have a vibe back then that i feel this flick managed to capture years later that hadn't been seen since those other flicks. and i really miss it. its like a Jerry Bruckheimer feel to the films even if they aren't Bruckheimer films. so you gotta check em out, or else......um....well, or else nothing. just trust me. i'd never steer you wrong. you guys are awesome

[@jcj268]

Reminds me of a comic “I only had enough room to reach 2012” “Ha, that’ll freak someone out someday.”

[@johnnyrocket1685]

Actually, the Mayan calendars were made sometime during the 5th century BCE, so about 2,500 years ago, give or take some decades. So the fact those calendars actually lasted for **Millennia,** is quite remarkable. The Mayan civilizations officially collapse around 900 A.D., so the calendar outlived the Mayan civilization by another 1100 years. That’s pretty astounding, especially since just 30 years ago, the common western belief was still that people were probably just getting to America around the 5th century BCE.

[@shanwyn]

@@johnnyrocket1685 2500 years? So my estimate was correct. Many Centuries LOL

[@johnnyrocket1685]

@@shanwyn Sure, but most people will hear “Many Centuries” and assume it’s less than 1,000. You know, because it’s only a mere “Many Centuries,” which is 500-900 years. Once you hit 1,000, it’s incorrect English to say “Many Centuries.” You should instead say “It has been a Millennium.” Therefore, you are not correct, because you are not using the English language the way it should be used. 2,500 years is “Multiple Millennia.” That’s how English works.

Well, it wasn't a thing about "making a new one"; it was more like "after this date, return to the beginning of the whole thing, it's common sense"... Centuries later: "Common sense says it means the end of the world!!!" :P.

1:03:07 and 1:06:51 The reason the tsunami was able to breach the Himalayas was because the land itself is plummeting into the ocean rather than the ocean swooping across the mountains. Remember the earths crust is destabilizing rapidly and entire indochina plate is sliding into the ocean. Oh and in a deleted scene, the cruise ship and everyone one board survived 😊

[@Star_chase2004]

If the scene is deleted, then it is not canon. 😁

[@kateofone]

But how could they survive?

[@DocuzanQuitomos]

@@kateofone The film clearly throws a lot of average logic and physics out of the window (and that scene would play as "if you didn't see it happen, it didn't happen" XD). But, in a general sense, a capsized ship still has buoyancy; if the wave carried on its front end, rather than pushing it down and flooding it, the ship, and people in it, can survive such conditions for a relative short period of time.

[@DocuzanQuitomos]

I love the destruction-fest the film is, but yeah... removing scenes like that of the ship and offing characters for shock value while not giving much of a consequence to the "we sold tickets to rich people and kicked out people who helped us design this plan" gives the film and overall grim sense that this new beginning of humanity is doomed XD. If they had left the ship scene, that would mean that humanity survived, in unplanned ways, in spite this elitist, almost eugenic, plan making up for the lack of vision, and greed, of politicians. But the scene was cut and the plot is stuck with what it shows.

In that movie they’re kind of denying and making fun of it like it wouldn’t happen. I think now, in 2024, approaching the next US presidential election, there’s probably a lot of people would who not deny it, but rather embrace it. People are done these days with how modern societies function. The internet has cooked the common western world’s brains to mush. I think both religious people and secular people would welcome a natural disaster like this; Wipe it all clean, give the world a fresh start. Maybe next time, humanity won’t be so terrible. But it’ll probably just remain a continuous cycle like it has for many thousands of years.

Just FYI, while I love this movie, the bits about the neutrinos are wildly inaccurate: Particles don’t ‘mutate’. They don’t have DNA. Neutrinos CAN physically interact with regular matter, they just don’t normally do it often which is why our neutrino detectors are so large. If there were enough neutrino reactions happening to overheat the Earth’s core to the point of a total resurfacing of the planet, our atmosphere would likely have been stripped off in the process. Not to mention the event could very likely disrupt the rotation the Earth’s dynamo, changing or deleting our magnetosphere. When a star ‘explodes’ in a supernova, much of what pushes the star’s guts out into space is a massive burst of neutrinos. Think about that! Cheers guys!

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Space is such a fascinating thing. We know just enough. So much more to learn! The scenario of neutrinos stripping our atmosphere somehow sounds even worse!

[@MajaZaguan]

I remember that my friend and I started laughing out loud when he said that neutrinos were mutating, like wtf, they couldn't come up with something just a bit plausible 😂😂😂

[@eddiewinehosen6665]

There's a lot of things with this movie that are wildy inaccurate. Just have to enjoy the ride :)

[@Llanchlo]

Everything about this movie is wildly inaccurate and utterly preposterous. I love it! If you wanted a movie to demonstrate the meaning of "suspension of disbelief" this would be it. In one sense the mutation of neutrinos is not the worst example - since they can oscillate between different forms. Agreed - this is not mutation in the DNA sense but the word mutation can be used to describe the phenomenon. And yes - sufficient neutrinos to heat the core would strip the atmosphere and all life pretty quickly. It is not impossible despite the very rare interacctions. Neutrinos carry 99% of the energy of a supernova and production is increased by a huge factor. Neutrinos from a supernova within a few light years would destroy us. This may be before the accompnying electromagnetic radiation finishes the job. Althought they travel (just) slower than light in a vaccuum they can get here first as they are not as impeded by matter.

[@125steini]

Oh, thats by far not the only inaccuracy of this movie. I hated it when it came out, I appreciate it by now and even rewatched it with friends who hadnt seen it before... but its still kind of a guilty pleasure for me. What still pisses me off every time is how the producers killed off the russian woman. She's in a compartment with closed bulkheads but the water still rises making her drown. To avoid that is the reason to built in seperate compartments with bulkheads. And those compartments were undamaged, the reason of the water coming in is the open gate at the back. OK, I see why the producers wanted to kill off that character, but there were countless better occasions to do that.

Two, considering Yellowstone went in the movie, there's a very real chance that other supervolcanoes did as well.

As a huge Roland Emmerich Fan this movie was an absolute rollercoaster ride in the cinema, but I was absolutely confused by the hate this movie got by critics. Yes, the science behind the earth ending is complete rubbish, but even after 15 years the effects are still amazing. Back in the day I got really tired of defending this movie, so it's really nice, that after Hollywood has taken a bit of a dip in quality recently, it gets reappreciated. It is one of the first movies, where I have seen this switch in my personal lifetime, having only read about something like this happening before, like how Carpenter's "The Thing" being absolutely ripped to shreds by critics, now being one of the most well regarded horror movies of all time.

2012 was one of my favorite disaster movie, i had the chance to watch this movie in theaters, one of the craziest experience.. everybody was scared after watching this and it haunts people for months because how real they made it, will never forget those times..oh and the vfx still amazing to this day

[@TheBmweed]

I saw this in the cinema - it was amazing - those plane scenes your stomach just DROPPED with the plane. Amazingly underrated disaster movie!!

[@iceastone]

i saw this in theaters when it released. it was wild to see some of these images on a big screen. the tsunami wiping out dc in the dark was one of the most terrifying visuals to see.

Le "Unstable ?" et ce rire juste derrière montrent définitivement toute l'étendue du talent d'acteur impressionnant de Woody Harrelson. LOL

Great film. Glad you guys finally got around to reacting to this film. It's a great representation of how human society will react once everything goes to hell in hand basket. The rich and powerful will be saved while the rest of humanity is left to perish and witness the end of human civilization. I love how they incorporate the San Andreas Fault and the Yellowstone Caldera. Two very real and very serious dangerous that people aren't asking IF they'll go off.... BUT WHEN!

[@traydevon]

The only thing I hate about this movie is the Yellowstone eruption. If Yellowstone erupted it would’ve incinerated everyone in close proximity to it and instead this movie only gave us a gentle breeze in Amanda Peet’s hair. Yellowstone would’ve doomed the entire midwestern USA within hours.

[@nisto1518]

It is a little unusual to see a disaster movie understate the impact of something. Usually it's vastly the opposite.

[@itsjuliescottyay]

But if they had depicted Yellowstone realistically, think of the great scene that John Cusack would’ve been deprived of!

I love how the government guy at the start you were worried would ignore everything like in Day After Tomorrow, but when he was on board immediately you liked him. Then over the course of the movie you grow to dislike him from his actions. Then the Russian billionaire you start off not really liking with how selfish he is, but in the end gives up his life for his kids. Some great character development in this movie. I remember liking it, but I think it got dunked on when it first came out, though I think that happens with a lot of doomsday movies. That then later get recognized as fun movies.

This movie in my opinion, perfectly portrays of how Yellowstone Volcano can explode! Seriously, I know that this is a Super-Volcano, but if it really would've exploded one day, I can't imagine the explosion being more powerful than THIS! And that it apparently can destroy the whole world!

[@JeshuaSquirrel]

Not destroy the world, but it definitely will be a climate-changing event.

[@diannaellis4708]

Don't know if anyone else has seen the alternate ending. The arks come across the cruise ship that didn't survive in the original. In the alternate ending, the cruise ship survived.

[@alexhaas9653]

Thanks for the reaction. What I always thought is that Anheuser is here shown as a villain. Or at least villain-like. But I stand my ground that in the core he was right in many of his (planned) decisions. Ok, I also like Oliver Platt as an actor very much, but even so, I think in these kinds of scenarios unpopular decisions must be made. And he was mostly right...and you just can't save them all. He wasn't without fault and some decisions more than questionable of course.

[@zetsuki4207]

The one thing that bothered me a bit by this film are the amount of "Almost perished" moments back to back... Like sure, i get it, the world is ending and they are escaping... but it was a little bit too much for me. I LOVE Woody Harrelson though! The crushing scene towards the end actually reminded me of something my uncle told me. He works in a paper mill and many years ago a man was crushed between the rolls of paper...He had stuck his hand too close to the rolls and was sucked in within a fraction of a second.... There was nothing left to bury,

You guys really need to watch some older, classical disaster films. I highly recommend: -'The Poseidon Adventure' (1972), -'The Towering Inferno' (1974), -'Earthquake' (1974). Older movies that are great dramas as well as Disaster Movies are: -'A Night to Remember' (1958) -'The Last Voyage' (1960) -'Deluge' (1933) --- Fun fact, this movie was lost for several decades after several years only be rediscovered in 1981 dubbed in Italian before being restored and preserved The '90's also had gems such as -Daylight (1996) -Deep Impact (1998) -Dante's Peak (1997) --- Fun fact, this movie beat out Volcano (1997) for an award as they both came out around the same time but were both beaten by Titanic -Twister (1995) Other countries have also started making their own disaster films, such as Norway and South Korea, and the quality of is top notch: [Norway] --The Wave (2015) --The Quake (2018) [South Korea] --Tidal Wave (2009) --The Tower (2012) --Pandora (2016) --Ashfall (2019) [Japan] --Doomsday: The Sinking of Japan (2006)

Hot take: I think it is understandable that the "bad guy" wanted to leave behind all those people. The resources are limited, they would just push the time of chaos a little bit further. This was the logical thing to do. When food runs out, people won't care how they ended up on that ship, they will fight for themselves and their family.
