Emmerich brought out the fear of people thinking the world will come to an end in creating “2012.” This time he gives “disaster” a new term for his movies considering how ridiculous it all played out.

His special effects were still amazing, but at some points it felt like watching an old 50s movie the way the background wasn’t moving while they were running. The ending of the world was played out quite nicely, making different ways for states and countries to be demolished. However, I don’t buy that an old beat up RV can outrun roads collapsing and freeways falling down.

The plot isn’t the best Emmerich has come up with and the acting wasn’t the best that John Cusack has done in the past. This movie could be such a success because of the actual thought of the apocalypse. The film eventually does give you the feel-good moments with human-morals are the ultimate decision of who lives and who dies.

If you are worried about the end of the world, “Zombieland” has a much more interesting and entertaining take on it or if you enjoy Emmerich’s movies, rent “Day After Tomorrow” again. That way you aren’t sitting for 2h40 minutes wondering if it really will end.
