So I watched 2012 yesterday.
Let's make this quick.
The effects are epic and the best I have ever seen. It's worth watching for them alone....the rest. Well. The story itself is easily told: Sun flare, earth boils, everyone dies, father tries to save family. The end. It is incredibly cheesy, and I mean, INCREDIBLY cheesy (see spoilers), and way too long on the cheesy bits. And the movie is really long (1/4 of this is actually stuff going boom, the rest, cheese).
Worth watching for the effects.
Just watch it for the explosions.

Cheesiness:
- Father fighting to make his son love him who likes stepdad more
- little girl needing diapers because she is so insecure
- American president staying in DC and making white house a shelter, dies among his people
- Russian evil fat billionaire changing his mind and saving his children
- Dalai Lama (yeah yeah not him) banging the bell in Tibet while drowning
- Dad & Stepdad becoming friends, Stepdad needs to die, dies.
- Little girl not needing diapers at the end of movie
- World leaders growing a spine and helping the poor people
- That old guy calling his son & grandchild for the first time in 5 years, hearing them die
- That old man drowning Titanic style on the Cruise Ship
- The Indian family drowning
Stuff that I hated for making my tech-savvy brain hurt
- Starting an Antonov on ~200m of exploding runway
- Jet engines without fuel don't smoke or GLOW RED
- the whole "getaway in limo" part
- "THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THE HYDRAULICS" (kogs. Lot's of kogs. It's the gearbox)
- ZOMG HUGEST SOLAR FLARE EVER, NO MORE TELEPHONES! Luckily ALL satellites keep working.
- It's 2012. "LAS VEGAS AUTO SHOW CARS". Gallardo, Carrera GT, F360. "This is the new Bentley. Dad ordered one for next year" (2013 rite). *Continental GT Flying Spur*
A lot more there I don't want to list
