9. 2012 (2009)

One of my personal favorites, 2012 mixes every generic element required for a disaster flick, from the big explosions to the tsunamis, earthquakes, the cheesy family drama, and delivers a fun big-screen spectacle, which I agree have a myriad of problems to criticize. The story is straightforward, it’s the end of the world, and only a select few millionaires get to escape in specially designed ships.
