I really can’t bring myself to dedicate too many words to Roland Emmerich’s upcoming 2012; I already came up with the perfect disaster movie idea in my previous post about it. There’s just nothing to say when you watch a clip that cannot be taken seriously on any level. There’s no way this movie is meant to be anything but 100% hilarious, and that’s an achievement when you’re dealing with the supposed end of civilization and billions of people dying. Where else can you watch people race an earthquake? Where else can you witness a plane fly through skyscrapers leaning on each other? Congrats, Roland Emmerich, you’ve done it again.

Where can Ronald Emmerich go from here? There are only so many ways to kill millions upon millions of people, and then come up with some deus ex machina to save the few left. I wish the entire movie was just disaster porn, but unfortunately, there does seem to be some sort of plot involving John Cusack and his family.

People love Planet Earth. Why can’t someone just make Planet Earth Destroyed, where instead of clips of a shark jumping out of the ocean to totally wreck some seal’s life, we get to watch skyscrapers collapse, asteroids rain down, and California fall into the ocean? This would all be scored by Clint Mansell. Because he’s awesome.

If you care to watch the destruction in HD, here are the direct links:
