2012 - You’ve Been Warned

I caught the preview of this last week thanks to the lovely folk at Sony. What do I have to say about it? I’ve always thought of Roland Emmerich’s films as a guilty pleasure. I loved Stargate, Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow for being the sort of movies that you can watch repeatedly and still get a certain ‘Wow’ factor from. They never take themselves too seriously and never make me think too much, as most of the films that I would normally seek out would. Sure, he has made some complete duds (looking at you 10,000 BC and Godzilla), but for the most part his movies have stunning effects and are very entertaining. I’m trying really hard not to be a snob here!
