 | Dale Midkiff never made a bad movie -- until this one! Apr 27, 2010 |
Not much can be said in this one. I bought it for really cheap because I am a huge Dale Midkiff fan. Luckily, I know God to be forgiving, so he can rest assured he'll survive this.
The scenery was good, the acting was not. Then again, the lines were so stupid that it would be hard to put in a good performance. We have the mother just disappearing out of the car into the rapture, we have the ice in the driver and the gal praying for his salvation as the pregnant woman screams in the back seat, the tiny plane with the disappearing pilot, the non-believer quoting Thessalonians, the little gal with the tiny cough, and on and on ad infinitum. Sorry, I hate to spoil the plot -- IF THERE WAS ONE!
According to the jacket it was about the 2012 disaster. Please don't be fooled. It would appear the disaster happened in 2008.
I bought this on impulse, which I occasionally do. I will sign off now and once again view "Confessions of a Shopaholic" to see if I can break my evil ways. The one that worries me most is the impulse shopping! |

 | Something Funny Other Reviews Haven't Noticed Apr 24, 2010 |
One of the funniest mistakes of this movie is something that the other reviewers haven't mentioned yet. This is easily one of the worst movies that you could buy or rent from Redbox, like a "Perfect Storm" of bad filmmaking. It has a laughable story, bad acting, overdone CGI effects, and a long list of errors and inconsistencies.
When you watch a science fiction movie, you obviously have to leave your sense of reality at the door. But some of the story lines are laughable. Early into the film, we get our first shot of the Blonde looking for a doctor as she crosses the bridge. Seconds after the screen flashes her location as being in Veracruz, Mexico, she stops a local man to ask for help. Conveniently, the guy is wearing a shirt with a big flag of El Salvador on it. It's a given that the film wasn't shot in Mexico, but it's almost like the Central American extras were playing a joke on the director. This is also right up there with the paramedic making a 2,000 mile drive from San Diego to Chichen Itza in less than a day.
I gave the film two stars instead of one, simply because I loved the footage of Central America that was included in this otherwise weak movie. If you see this one at your local Redbox kiosk, skip it. |

 | Better then expected Apr 21, 2010 |
| After reading some of the reviews I was expecting poor acting and not much of a story line. For the most part the acting was good to very good. The story line I found to be very good and came together very well at the end. It was nice not to have a movie with out cussing. The reference to god and how those who did not believe had a change of feelings. Was nice to see in a movie although I feel it may have been over done just a little That's why only 4 stars. This is a movie you can watch with your children. It's a good addition to my movie collection. |

| 2012 Doomsday Movie Apr 1, 2010 |
| To begin with, 2012 Doomsday has horrible special effects and acting. The actors didnt know their lines well enough to portray it. 2012 the new movie is much more mind boggling than this bag of garbage. The intentions were good but the acting and special effects were terrible. |

| 2012 doomsday..... I wish it was!!! Mar 4, 2010 |
DO NOT BUY THIS MOVIE!!!!! I was absolutely appaled by the seriously bad acting and awful effects! At one point we actually saw the camera man's reflection in the car door! the trailer is the whole movie just a much shorter version, and to be honest would be much easier to watch!
Please please please do not waste your time!!!! Its now an hour of my life that I cannot get back! And a complete waste of money!!! |
