'2012': A Five Minute Clip of World Destroying Insanity

‘2012′: A Five Minute Clip of World Destroying Insanity

Now that Sony’s unprecedented television ad campaign for Roland Emmerich’s 2012 has passed by, it’s time to check out a five minute clip from the film.

No matter how you feel about the believability of this, you have to admire the sheer level of CGI craziness that has gone into the following clip which, by all accounts, has to be one of the maddest, most monumental disaster sequences ever created for film.

Watch California go down after the jump.

2012 follows an academic researcher played by John Cusack (1408 / Martian Child) who leads a group of people in a fight to survive as apocalyptic events unfold on the day the current cycle of the Mayan Calendar ends.

Additional cast include Amanda Peet (X Files: I Want to Believe), Woody Harrelson (A Scanner Darkly / White Men Can’t Jump), Oliver Platt (Martial Child / Ash Wednesday) and Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon / Predator 2).

I have to be honest, this movie looks terrible. Sure, it has lots of whiz bang CGI, but who really cares about CGI these days? CGI is commonplace, and expected to be amazing. You know what isn’t amazing these days? Scripts and storytelling. Amaze me there (instead of CGI) and you’ve got me.
