Posted by Rodneyon 02. 10. 2009in News Chat
A new clip of the ultimate disaster movie 2012 is online. Ever want to see what it would look like to see all of California slip into the sea?
For some reason the first 4 seconds repeat then its all sorts of smashy splodey goodness!
This just looks insane.

ay what you want about the plots of his movies, but old Roland Emmerich sure knows how to blow stuff up.
I couldn’t agree with you more. Screw plot in this case. for 10 bucks i’m more then willing to sit through 2 hours of this. Hell get rid of the story and just have a 50 minute effects reel, I wouldn’t really care. This just looks like one hell of a night at the movies with friends. Probably even better drunk aye?
Saw it last night. this thing looks AWESOME
Emmerich movies all start to look the same, but I’m a sucker for big destruction movies like this.
I’m a sucker for John Cusack, so I will most likely check this out when released. I just hope it doesn’t end up like Knowing, *spoilers* that whole alien thing was ridiculous */spoilers*.
Could Michael Bay be outdone?
Hahaha. That makes me wonder if people’s opinions would change had the trailer said “Directed by Michael Bay” on it.
If they’re finally flying while LA is falling… why are they still flying low and avoiding buildings the way the car had to? Just go higher?
He didn’t accomplish the right speed before lifting off, which makes it harder to climb.
Just how planes work.
yup, they took off not in the proper speed and runaway length. So it take much harder to climb quickly. Especially in such bad weather
This looks like a fuckin JOYRIDE!! Gonna be a good time in the theater.
THANK YOU FOR THIS.
Im totally going to avoid this movie now. Thanks for the heads up, guys.
LMFAO!
And I peed myself, too.
Lord, love a duck; this is what we’ve come to, a sensory-overload-cum-apocalypse-cum-3D-goofest. Nice.
What’s next? We actually get to see God in Heaven? Only…only it’s Heinlein’s ‘The Book of Job’, where EVERYONE is wrong about their beliefs?
But yes, I’m sure it’ll be fun. All that extra butter on my bucket…
Im not holding my breath. But i really hope this will be a good movie. The SFX look insane.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but a lot of the special effects look very cheesy to me. Like the truck exploding and that donut rolling down the street. I don’t think is going to be very good, but I am still going to check it out.
agreed. There are quite a few parts that look pretty lame.
Yeah at around 4:10 to 4:14 in the video the special effects look terrible! Yeah the truck and donut looked bad also.
Everytime I see this thing, I can not stop myself from nit picking the crap out of it. The car driving through the building should be the best example for not going to see this film… unless you are looking for a good comedy
I very much agree. Yea I get it it’s a destruction film (which I LOVE) BUT!! those parts looked corny. I hope the whole film isn’t like this cause I plan to go see it
that looks insane!
i hope it’s 2 hrs of destruction and calamity.
My brother and I could not stop laughing while watching this, poor Cusack. I love him, I wish he’d get a decent movie. I’ll see it (if my brother can get me in free) but I’ll be getting dirty looks for laughing at it’s faux-dramatic situations.
Well, if you consider a movie teaming him up with Craig Robinson decent, then you might be in luck. Check out HOT TUB TIME MACHINE. Comes out next year.
If I had a marketing job, I’d be fired. The posters would say “From the Director of Universal Soldier”. But seriously, aside from independence day, I can’t think of another movie from Roland Emmerich that I enjoyed. 10,000 BC was laughable as was Day After Tomorrow. This didn’t look any better. I’m with Hazmat on this one… I’m definitely avoiding this as well.
I Actually liked Day After Tomorrow. was probably my favorite movie so far by Emmerich.
Sure their are a lot of things i would have liked done differently in it story wise but overall i liked it.
I was pleasantly surprised by that clip. It made me feel like I was 15 again and I was excited for ID4! I was actually clinging to my chair watching that! Job well done Rolland!
Wow. It’s so frighteningly real. I’ll check it out in theaters. Probably get it on DVD when it comes out
I think it looks awesome but at time too fake
ahh whatever I’m gonna see it
That Governor in the clip sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
I am sure that is intentional. You never get a clear look at him and they don’t name drop, but it is California.
I’m sure someone will inform Gov. Arnold about him being parodied / imitated in this 2012 film. Maybe he’ll smile at this or get pissed perhaps, when John Cusack tells his wife (Amanda Peet) that “the guy’s an actor he’s reading a script!, when they tell you not to panic, that’s when you run!”.. does it imply that Schwarzenegger isn’t doing his job as Governor of California?… lol
I guess they forgot that he would not be governor in 2012. lol
come on guys, this movie is to disconnect the neurons an enjoy a 2 hour trip of massive destruction, chessy acting and very laughable dramatic lines. I think we have a future drunk movie classic
Looks slightly worse than GI Joe. Maybe a little better than Day After Tomorrow (where they had that wonderful scene in which the main characters had to outrun…wait for it… the COLD! Now they have to outdrive…THE EARTH!).
Meh. Emmerich hasn’t ever been any good.
Wrong. Nothing is worse than GI Joe. lol
I think this movie will be awesome.
Austin..hahaha that scene in Day After Tomorrow has to be one OF THE DUMBEST SCENES i’ve ever seen in any movie..its soooooo baddddddd…that scene alone makes Day Aftr Tmmrw 1/10 in my book
but why must everything go down, the second they escape… I mean come on! its ok 3 time, even 13 times – but not 100 times in a row!
it just looks soooo cinematic… :/
other than that: WOW
BECAUSE from millions of people who try to escape there are some who CAN escape and some of them escape closely, simple math! AAAND the story involves exactly those who escape pretty closely cuz thats intense and entertaining otherwise it would be boring if they would have left California an hour ago right? – just that simple Mr Townes !!! if ya dont like it go and watch ur asian movies^^ in which dudes cut water drops with their swords^^ it looks cool but same argument u know – by the way i havent seen ya for a while how ya doin in würzburg?
greet ur brother from me^^ talked to him bout a movie idea 2 days ago^^ we gonna built up a whole new project that will be nothing like the last movie we did
servus
Alex
MY POINT IS:
its ok the THIRD time, its even ok the THIRTEENTH time – but please, why ONE-HUNDRED times in a row??
I am in Bielefeld, not Würzburg!
Sad to hear your Rapvideo did not work out! :P
Cuz even mathematicaly from million of people who escape some escape closely pretty often ;-)
dei gschmarrie aufa brot
oh and dude?? IT’S a MOVIE :D nobody asks about reality here okay^^
By the way: HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!!!!! The visuals are mindblowing, i mean Transformers is mindblowing in a whole different way these are environmental VFX and they are OH MAMA! Emmerich must be pushin those VFX guys like shit.
Pure Eyecandy!! cant wait to see this
This is a comedy right?
Had me in stitches anyway. Love the donut roll.
About as much real tension as paint drying.
I was laughing a lot too. Movie looks retarded.
Like 1/3 of the comments are against the movie and I am definitely not one of them. I dig John Cusack, and the visuals look dope. Can’t wait to see this one.
And, Rodney, Will u please write something about how ‘Jennifer’s Body’ was. I need to hear it from someone else who knows about movies. I haven’t seen it yet.
Neither John nor I have bothered to see it. It didn’t make our radar.
And considering it openned to a $7million weekend, it didnt rank high with others either.
This might haul in 80 to 100 million dollars for the opening weekend. Might match the buzz of ID4 back in 1996. Or maybe people are tired of disaster flicks churned out by Roland Emmerich. But the visuals are impressive and stunning. It looks fantastic here in youtube. What more in a big screen like IMAX.
I hope it isn’t that fast paced. I mean…I understand how quickly they needed to get to the airport…but still…kinda annoying that it just jumped to the scene of them in the plane.
Excited nonetheless.
Wow. That was friggin awesome. Exactly how I envision a disaster movie should be and not like that weak ass Day After Tomorrow. This just made my must see list.
Looks like a really fun movie. I’m surprised something like this didn’t come out during the summer.
Looks like another Roland Emmerich crapfest to me. I think I’ll call this “Godzilla Part 5″.
The difference between this, and The Day After tomorrow is simply the title.
well Roland Emmerich directed The Patriot..so I give him props for that
The visuals look insane, but the acting kills it for me.
I am so over the promo spots for this movie…it looks completely awful.
And all that’s left is Arizona Bay.
Oh this movie is going to be so gloriously bad. I can not wait.
As a long time professional pilot, and one that has dealt with bad weather and insanely intense flying situations – I’m laughing out loud at the flying scenes in the trailer. Oh please …
Could you kindly give at least a bit of try at being realistic. You’ve got the nutty high budget, so use it. Get some unemployed experienced pilots on crew, and have them do some continuity work for you.
And such an insult to the audiences. Are we movie goers really that dumb to buy into this movie?
Because the scenes in the car were so realistic that its just an insult not to apply your advanced knowledge of areonautics to the film.
