2012

[QuasarVM]

It's not supposed to be "National Geographic" quality material...

Never said it needed to be. Like I said, I enjoyed ID4 quite a bit. It had action, humor, lovely cheesiness and fun. I'm curious what elements "2012" will have. Is it a dark drama? Are there quirky characters in it? Is it just one disaster after another? I'm just want to know the movie's "hook" before paying to see it.

A Monk ringing a bell and waves of water on mountains don't quite tell me all that. All that tells me is that the movie will probably be a visual feast - but with Emmerich's name on it, that was a given to me.

His films are a bit formulaic...I am sure we'll see more of the same kinds of things you mention in your post. I won't be there for opening day, but I'd like to see 2012...maybe I'll use those free movie passes I have for that...
