Many people complain that this movie is silly. Lead characters survive by one in a billion chance. The movie's science may be off the mark when it says a massive solar wind microwaves the earth's core. An aircraft carrier drifts all the way to Washington D. C. and hits the White House precisely. But all that nonsense doesn't have to ruin your movie experience here.
The whole point of this film is to feel the spectacle. That's all - nothing more, nothing less. The mega earthquakes, mega volcano eruptions, and mega tsunamis destroy the human civilization on a ridiculously massive scale. And we get to see it all in beautiful CGI. In 2009, along with Avatar, this movie demonstrated there was nothing a movie couldn't show visually anymore.
I love this film so much because it does well what it sets out to do. A good movie shows more than it says. 2012 speaks little logic but shows much, and spectacularly.
