Production

Release

The film released on February 12, 2008.[3]

Reception

Collider called it a "thermonuclear dumpster fire," claiming it makes Roland Emmerich's film look like Citizen Kane.[4] Richard Drake at Arkansas Times wrote a negative review saying they will "find someone who really needs their weekend ruined, and pass this movie along to them."[5]

Film critic Christopher Armstead said it has "glorious and unexpected humor" but that pacing may leave those without patience unable to continue.[6] OutNow scored it 1 out of 6, criticizing the effects and claiming "it is a mess, even for fans of trash cinema."[7]

The film ranks #1 on Collider's 10 Worst Disaster Movies of All Time.[4]

Sequel

Although the film was released before the Emmerich title in 2009, The Asylum announced that a sequel called 2012: Part 2 would be coming, since Dolenz's character survived.[8]
