Thank you Winnipeg, for your outrageously affordable movie houses.

As a connoisseur of disaster flicks, I can say that 2012 is an epic masterpiece boldly spreading destruction far and wide – brilliant. I don’t know if it’ll ever be topped. It took a special kind of absurd disaster movie making genius to come with the completely insane wanton destruction in this film. I applaud you, Roland Emmerich.

The acting and everything were surprisingly not bad, considering the gratuitous ultra-shallow plotline. My only beef is with the very end of the film, which feels tacked on: this family makes it through a hundred impossible escapes by the skin of their teeth only to finally spend 30 minutes trying to close a submarine door… anticlimactic.
