ReviewsSan Francisco Chronicle - There's something to be said for a formula picture done almost to perfection. In 2012, Emmerich gives you everything you expect, but gives it to you bigger., Variety - The visual effects are pretty sensational, delivering the cutting-edge CGI goods audiences want and expect., The Hollywood Reporter - Eye-popping special effects., Chicago Sun-Times - The mother of all disaster movies (and the father, and the extended family) spends half an hour on ominous set-up scenes (scientists warn, strange events occur, prophets rant and of course a family is introduced) and then unleashes two hours of cataclysmic special events hammering the Earth relentlessly.
