Igor S Such a pain to watch this without falling asleep, which happened many times. Not only it's never ending but it is so boring. I cannot recommend this. Unless you are really into this kind of movie. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Audience Member It’s been 15 years and this is such a good movie! Roland Emmerich has such a creative mind for destruction he could almost be an extension to those popular disaster films of the 1970s In this he gets to destroy the world with a calendar so to speak, specifically an end of the world prophecy Every culture has their own interpretation of the end of the world whether it’s Judgement Day from the Bible or the Mayan calendar as well as Charles Hapgood’s 1958 theory of earth crust displacement The planets are aligned and the sun’s core temperature has fluctuated affecting our Earth’s magnetic rotation making way for all kinds of cataclysmic events to happen Everything from tsunamis to volcanic eruptions to thunderstorms to earthquakes Humans have been preparing for this for years building arks as it were to save as many of our civilizations as possible to start over A cast full of colorful characters are played by John Cusack, Chiewetel Ejiofor, Thandie Newton, Danny Glover, Oliver Platt, Amanda Peet, and Woody Harrelson The main family is author Jackson who’s divorced from his wife and separated from his kids So it might take the end of all things to get them back together as well as conflicting ideals between a scientist with a heart of gold and the chief of staff at the White House who seems single minded The inter woven stories of several characters are rich tapestry of existential, deep moral quandaries Is our mission to ensure the continuity of our species?, is it more important to fight for our lives?, is survival worth it at the cost of our humanity?, the moment we stop fighting for each other is when we all lose, an act of cruelty for starting over puts everyone in vain the visuals are spectacular, there's a good does of humor despite making the majority of the film into a comedy and so many moments where it made me all teary-eyed It all boils down to the irrational determination to live as well as perpetuate our flawed civilization I like this movie next to 'Day After Tomorrow' and 'Independence Day’ The only major complaint I can think of is that it’s 2 and a half hours too long But the special effects are some of the best I’ve seen and it is a roller coaster ride watching all this destruction taking place If this is the disaster movie to end all disaster movies then Roland Emmerich has pulled out all the stops It’s supposed to be entertainingly ridiculous and does it well Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/14/24 Full Review Jay R First movie I’ve watched that I’ve had to take multiple breaks in-between because it was so bad. Don’t bother watching. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/10/24 Full Review Kit T Pickle man is the best character. Automatic 5 stars! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review HIZZAR K You make it few lines simple and use human tone Copilot 2012 is a wild ride! The movie’s epic disaster scenes are worth the watch. But the characters? Not so much. Still, it’s perfect if you want to see the world nearly end in the most dramatic fashion. 🚁💥🌍 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Bruno S Visualmente, o filme impressiona, e tem uma narrativa até "legalzinha", mas a duração é excessiva para o que se apresenta... É um bom filme pra passar o tempo, me divertiu no cinema, na época, mas é difícil dizer que o filme deixou uma memória duradoura...
