The trailer for “2012,” seemingly a deep fetishization of global disasters and modern apocalypse, replete with slow-motion oceans and gigantic Naval boats washing over the White House (you get the sense that an animators and geeks are erect in collective unison), is simply hilarious.
1. It’s introduced by Roland Emmerich. Why? Who exactly gives a flying fuck? What is this hack (“Independence Day”) Scorsese?
2. It’s CGI-laden up the hilt and will probably make “Avatar” feel handwoven.
3. It stars John Cusak as a man… in the middle of GLOBAL DISASTER (a strange career this one, indie-minded projects under his own aegis that not even the indie community cares about and mega-blockbusters, hmmm, ok).
4. It might make Michael Bay slightly envious
5. It’s a comedy, right?
Give it a whirl, it is so grotesquely over-the-top, you should get some amusing laughs from it. Or you might think, “I need to see this!” and therefore should check your head.
