Bad Movie Beatdown: 2012 (REVIEW)

Billions are dead, but at least the little girls toilet trained now. Sigh.

There's a difference between wetting the bed and not being toilet trained. Kids can be toilet trained, but when they go to sleep they lose control of their bladder.

And the people who hated each other are in love and the other guy is dead so they can get back together and not feel bad bout it

[@TheSkully343]

Fucking really. I mean out of all the subplots to include in a disaster movie no matter how exploitative of a phenomena including a plot point of 'pissing in the bed' is fucking ridiculous. Because that's exactly what audiences pay for when they want to see a disaster movie.

Well, this movie is now good enough for making fun of because it implanted the thought that the world would end on the 21st of December 2012 into people's minds and now that nothing of the sort has happened. Which was exactly what I did after I rented this movie from my local video store (a few years before video stores were replaced by rental kiosks).

[@JonathanLedbetter]

It is the best unintentional comedy of 2009.

[@Jarod-vg9wq]

“Why is it in bad movies the rich selfish jerks or jerks in general ALWAYS make the most sense and are realistic?”

[@Rabbitlord108]

Reminds me of what I consider the one line in The Condemned (Another film covered on Bad Movie Beatdown) I agree with being when the main villain in an interview said "It's the parents responsibility to monitor what their kids watch"

[@bigbearkat2010]

Or in John Q, when gladhanding police chief Ray Liotta rightfully points out to Robert Duvall that giving in to Denzel's demands sets a super dangerous precedent and douchebag surgeon James Woods points out to the other hostages they can label him the bad guy all they want but Denzel is still the one holding them at gunpoint.

[@retrogamelover2012]

Something tells me we may have found our motivator for why so many giant, reactionary douchebags online, thought that they're in the right mind to do anything socio-political on KZbin. You know. Besides obviously having little regard to the intelligence of average viewers.

[@FilmBrain]

Originally posted in May 2011, this was originally a two-part episode, and this re-edited version puts them both together for the first time. This removes 3m 36s in total, and a big chunk of this is the "coming up" section at the end of the first part, and the "welcome back" intro that proceeds the second, although as per usual, edits have been made to trim down both film clips and speed up the pacing. This version also restores some footage: earlier versions of the review removed a short sequence where a disaster hits Japan, which had just occurred in real life at the time was originally posted, and had delayed it's release; those missing lines are back here. This has been re-posted due to the release of Geostorm, which isn't a Roland Emmerich film, but certainly close enough. Hope you enjoy!

In the planned sequel 2013 there was going to be a major plot development where the ship's crew turn into degenerate cannibals eating each other and violating all who stand in their way, locked beneath the ship's lower decks as Jackson Curtis organizes a hierarchy system to keep himself and the other former officials in a position of power proving that ultimately humanity has learned nothing of its folly except for the fact that the little girl no longer pisses the bed at night.

I always find it hilarious how in these idiotic catastrophe movies it is like Mother Earth herself is the main villain and is deiliberately chasing the main cast around with earthquakes and floods and volcanoes. Y'know, that would make for a better movie, having Earth herself be trying to kill just ONE guy. :)

[@TheSkully343]

With a simple rewrite you could turn it into an over the top Matrix Dragon Ball Z influenced action movie where John Cusack could play his fanfiction tier character who goes SUPER SAIYEN in a battle against Mother Earth in an awesome kung fu battle which honestly would've been a much better film than Roland's exploitation of conspiracy theory bullshit.

Again, it stinks of sentimentality but it might have been better than the fates both of them actually got.

This is what Hollywood fails to get. In disaster movies, bigger isn't necessarily better. Take movies like Towering Inferno (a high rise building), Airport (an airplane), or even Earthquake (a city and the surrounding area). In those films stories of small scale heroism (or cowardice) work because the scale calls for that sort of thing. When dealing with extinction level events, the rules HAVE to change. The rebooted Battlestar Galactica did an episode on abortion when humanity's population had decreased to the point where it may or may not be viable. The President, a woman who's supported choice before the attack, chose to outlaw it in the fleet because survival was more important. It's the difference between a general planning an executing a massive battle plan and a sergeant leading a platoon. One doesn't have the luxury of worrying about the guy with the girl back home.

[@darknova1552]

@@nicholashurst780 Sorry, but you're wrong. Why people keep missing the obvious, I will never understand. Everyone seems to think that the water has to come from the air so we would all drown. That's not even close to true. There's equal to, if not more, water under the Earth's surface than there is above it. Even just taking the water in aquifers and things like that within a mile of the surface has enough to cover all of the continents. It's been found that there's even more water 600 miles below the surface. Possibly enough to equal all of the water in the oceans today. So if you have an equal amount of water that's on the surface now flowing up from underground, you'd cover all of the land masses. Therefor, the water didn't just "magically appear", it's been there all along but it's just hidden until the earth opens up and out it flows.

This feels to me like the film is mainly about the disaster, with the characters just added to fill the story with some drama. I had a similar feeling about "Day after Tomorrow". "Independence Day" has much better characters and unlike here they don't seem to be inserted just to fill the space between the disastrous events with something - they actually take real part in the plot.

No way those Arks were built in under 2 years. No way governments made the decision to build them in under 2 years, no way were they commissioned, designed and built in 2 years, in secret and the chosen ones already picked. And that is just the beginning of a list of things wrong with this.

[@taylorfrench6722]

Also, from what I can tell, they sold spots to aristocrats in this film. First, there's no way they could do that in secrecy, second, what would world governments do with the money after the apocalypse when all financial systems are gone, and third, current plans for apocalyptic events involve only saving the most essential people (scientists, military, top politicians, etc.) to give humanity the best chance at recovering and many aristocrats are only rich because they inherited their money and not for any natural talent or intellect.

The "humanity" scene from the Dark Knight when the Joker sets people against each other. However, I agree that slimy money-grubber is right, if you stay too long you have a huge risk of killing everyone on board. So, this half of humanity will be lost. Like I'm ignoring how stupid the sudden changes would be, but the odds are, it wouldn't be just one volcano going off if it was bad as the movie seems like it would be. Ash would hang in the air for weeks at minimum and years at worst. But at one month, the skies are clear, the polar ice caps are reforming and sucking back in lost water, and it looks like everyone will be able to live in their cities again. Once those ice caps melt, it's going to be centuries for them to reform. I would have ended the movie by cutting to 5 years later, and have them on the deck. First time their family has gotten a chance to see the clear skies. Since there are so many people, you could even point out they can start fishing for food now as the supplies have run off. But nope, two weeks later, an event so devastating it kills the majority of the planet and does damage to the planet it will never recover, and you get a happy ending.

This movie is my guilty pleasure and I feel slightly ashamed about it.

*when Yellowstone erupts The entire Eastern half of North America will die and a global famine will likely kill billions more Not if.

[@spookyrosev6467]

Well it’s a good thing the world didn’t end in 2012 so we can put this stupid conspiracy to res- “THE MAYAN APOCALYPSE HAPPENED IN ANOTHER UNIVERSE THANKS TO THE MANDELA EFFECT!” Oh come on!!!

[@donovandelaney3171]

This movie brought up many unanswered questions. Some of them were answered by the writers. What happened to the people in Vegas that were not killed in the earthquake? What happened to the little girl and her parents? What happened to the lady with the dog? Were the people walking up the mountain killed by the wave? That last question was answered by the writers. There were many survivors. A lot of people made it up the mountain. They're on the mountain and are waiting to be picked up by the government.

[@Isaac-gh5ku]

I'm glad you re-release this one, I tried to watch your original review to 2012, but it was unavailable or blocked for some reason. Too bad the quality of this is bad.

[@FilmBrain]

It was never in great quality. I don't know why, but it came out very dark, so a lot of the footage is brightened and colour corrected, hence why it looks so soft, even in comparison to other videos from the time.

[@goygoy_uykusuz]

Don't you dare badmouthing Woody Harrelson. He is a gem in this movie, hamming the sh*t out of it.

[@DreFromMaine8472]

He played one of my favorite characters in this, he cut through the bullshit and spoke the truth!

You could say it was off by eight years... 😔

[@jasonmalcolm4206]

Still your best review IMO

[@masterseal0418]

I hate it when disaster movies suck nowadays. Even with Moonfall that released on February 2022, as I like to call it 'Moon Month' before January-February of 2023 because rabbits, since they have what I like to call "abuse of special effects/CGI". About time we talk about scientific and regular inaccuracies here! 1. If the earth got smothered in massive tsunamis as they level cities, the same planet would run out of water, and sea life would practically die. 2. The movie took place on December 21st, 2012, and there are no Christmas decorations and snow at Yellowstone, especially everywhere else. 3. The family has plot armor so they survive the end of the world while everyone is screaming and dying because the movie wanted it. 4. An average human being could hold their breath underwater for 3 minutes, however in the ark, they held their breath more than three minutes as their ship gets submerged.

I would say there needs to be a drinking game for this movie but pretty sure that would be a good way to get alcohol poisoning

The ship sailed despite being damaged? Must be a Carnival cruise!

Why was "fucking" censored at 35:42?

[@FilmBrain]

Because in older episodes I tended to bleep strong swearing for comic effect.

[@florinivan6907]

I'm saddened to report that Emmerich has still not given up on the disaster genre. Now he wants to crash the Moon into the Earth. He's ultimately a one trick pony with some conspiracy theory mumbo jumbo to boot.

[@silverhawk_25]

I watched Moonfall and it wasn't too bad. At least it's better then 2012 that's for sure and of course it includes a conspiracy theorist. What the fuck is with Roland Emmerich and conspiracy theorists

[@florinivan6907]

@@silverhawk_25 He seems to be part of that generation that came of age after Vietnam and Watergate just as theories about ancient aliens were getting popular. So he's grown up in a conspiracy mindset. And despite his skill with special effects he's not very smart. He seems to believe all the popular conspiracies. I did too at one point. Then I turned 15.

[@captainexcabier]

Actually, speaking of Y2K hysteria, wasn't there a made-for-TV disaster movie about that? You should totally rip that one. ;)

[@TheBattlesword]

You missed another mistake: If an earthquake that heavy really were to hit Los Angeles, then given the fact that L.A. is on a transform fault, it would’ve slid UP the US mainland and not out to sea

[@Jarod-vg9wq]

Film Brain. Why do you do this to yourself? This many bad films cannot be good for your cranium.

[@pythiasibyls6269]

The population of the greater LA area is the same as the population of the entirety of Australia. When you see LA be destroyed in a movie, it's not just "One city" of people, it's the population of a whole continent/country.

[@stephenwolfe463]

How about those subtitles aren't they just great. The English (auto-generater) needs some work done on it. At around 21:55 you read this "Adrian who's father just died doesn't seem to show much sadness about AIDS. Elsewhere the prescient aids the survivors".

[@JonathanLedbetter]

I'm most impressed by the movie's ability to move Yellowstone National Park to a couple hours' drive outside Los Angeles.

[@29AndreG]

21:16 to 21:23, wait, that was the joke that was edited out because of the earthquake in Japan?

[@FilmBrain]

Yep, that was the line. I felt rather guilty over it, hence why it was cut and replaced with an apology, but I kept the original versions of the episode, hence I was able to restore it.

[@29AndreG]

I felt the apology was more fitting from the previously uploaded video.

[@FilmBrain]

The scene is an unintentionally funny one, but when I originally uploaded this review, it was very much too soon. I think enough time has passed since those events to restore the original lines.

[@wjzav1971]

Natural Disasters are very common in Japan. The country is located between the biggest ocean and the biggest continent and on a earth crust rift. Japanese are as used to Natural Disasters as Scottish are to rain.

[@poolsclosed7757]

Love your content

[@JacobHerter]

I saw a documentary on the making of Independence Day, and the scene where the fire unfolds throughout and destroys LA was done by using a scale model of LA nailed to a wall vertically with pyrotechnics lit at the bottom that rolled up it filmed in slow motion.

[@Daughter_of_Stories]

When I see the bullshit way this movie deals with the "who do you save at the end of the end of the world" question, I can't help thinking about the Battlestar Galactica miniseries where, after the death of most of humanity the survivors decide they have to abandon thousands of people waiting to board their ships in order to save the tens of thousands who are already on board. And we hear the screams of the dying but we also see that the survivors were right. Now that's the difference between a work which actually asks questions about what you can sacrifice in order to survive while still deserving survival and a forgettable piece of crap.
