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. And our protagonist tries his best to get his family on that vessel. Do not miss this!
