This movie was mind blowing. I don't care what anyone says, it was the craziest and most visually stunning movie of the year (well, it actually takes the #2 spot behind "Avatar", of course). The disaster sequences were epic and the stories outside of the action were entertaining too. I'm a little disappointed that it's only getting a 1-disc DVD release, whereas the Blu-Ray gets 1-disc AND 2-disc.
I'm highly outraged at the 1-disc BD and 2-disc BD option. I thought Blu-ray was suppose to be an individual package that has all the extra material on it. Now they're starting this c**p, just like the DVD technique. If the only additional feature on the 2-disc BD is a digital copy, then screw it. But if the 2-disc BD has more featurettes, I'll have to buy that version. By the way, I thought 2012 was awesome. It's a movie where you know what's going to happen, but it's just so enriching and fun every time. Even Roger Ebert and Michael Phillips knew that. I do quite like the artwork, although I was hoping for a gift set kind of thing with the Blu-ray.
Theres less extra on the 1-disc Blu-ray than the 1-disc DVD:

This movie was only okay. I was actually forced to see it and ended up not hating it but not caring for it. It was only okay. Gonna pass on this one.

That day's long gone.
That day's long gone.
Loved this movie
2012 was decent. NOT SURE how it will transfer on home video. The only reason I really saw it was for the theater experiance. Might have to rent the blu.
I actually really enjoyed this movie mainly for the awesome special effects. There were some corny plot elements, but every disaster movie usually has them. Looking forward to watching this on Blu Ray.
This was a fun movie. I called it disaster porn. Will pick it up on Blu.
I surprisingly liked it. I thought it would be 100% horrible. It's not a masterpeice by any terms but it's a fun film. Watch it with a great sound system.
This looked horrible.
This is one of those movies that if you have seen it once, you've probably seen it all. I will probably buy it because I enjoyed the scene where California was falling into the ocean, the Volcano eruption at Yellowstone, but that is just two scenes. The acting is good, so is the movie but not much to rewatch except for those spectacular effects.
This is one of the best movies of 2009 just because it gives the audience what they expect. The disaster sequences are jaw-droppingly amazing and the visual effects are so detailed. The movie is so much fun from beginning to end. Believe it. It's the mother of all disaster movies.

i disagree that the best movies are the ones that give the audience what they expect.

Shawn Edwards is a c**t
Not a bad movie. But i don't think i'd watch it again. Will not buy. maybe a netflix at some point.
good spectacle. c**ppy script (and characters).
good movie but lousy dvd cover
Eh, I'll wait till 2013.
I dont get it. Whats the point of 2 seperate Blu releases when the only difference in the MSRP is $1
"That day's long gone."
Actually WE outnumber you. If Blu was number one, they would stop releasing DVDs altogether. They can't, won't, we are they're bread and butter. Go to any store and look at the DVD inventory and glance at the Blu-Ray stock. Which is bigger?
I keep running into more and more people who have gotten tired. Folks who backed the wrong horse and sold their entire DVD library thinking that HD would beat Blu. What is there to show for it?
NOTHING just money wasted, no better than flushing down the bowl or setting on fire. And now they do not buy, they rent; not playing that game again. The same is happening for those who supported DVD, not buying into the Blu hype. They're renting too, not purchasing any further DVDs - maybe waiting for the next format.
So please, don't claim that you're king of the heap. You're a voice in this format choir. And we both are on the road towards obsoleteness. Downloads and streaming data will crush us all.

I totally disagree. This is for a change a great cover art. How can you say more about the movie in one picture?

Shawn Edwards from FOX-TV is the best they could do? Yikes!
It wasn't that bad to be honest. It's one of those fun theatre experience, the film is what you expected it to be. It's okay I guess.
The cover is great, much better than 'floating heads' IMHO, but they will probably revise it?
