I just saw a trailer last night on TV, which featured their escape by plane from LA(?). The FX looked okay, but why would they fly so low through the city?

I saw that, too.  I'm sure they "explain" it in the film, but the real reason is to make a crappy movie more exciting.

Not only were they flying too low in a collapsing city, but flew UNDER a bridge, which is not good and probably against FAA flight rules. The bridge just happened to be collapsing, too. Then I saw some shit where they were flying low and an Earthquake almost got them. FFS, if the world is collapsing, I'd be up at 20,000 feet or greater.

Didn't it say it was also on "comcast on demand"? We don't have comcast, but does that mean that it can be viewed on tv - in it's entirety - before it comes out in the theatre?

I think it looks freaking awesome!  I don't really care too much about the plot if stuff blows up in it.

Naw, it's just a scene from the movie they're playing, not the whole thing.

Naw, I'll pass.    Too many libs in it.    Cusack and Glover get on my last nerves with their wacky politics.   And Glover is a Castro/Chavez knobslobber.    I don't want to put money in their pockets.

Knowing was okay, but for some reason the previews made me think it would be more Biblically Disaster oriented.

 :offtopic:, but yeah the previews made it out pretty different then it was, but still good.



2012 looks like the trailer has the best 2 minutes of action in the whole movie.

Not surprising, as they used a lot of biblical imagery - esp. at the end.

You may have seen a promo for something similar on the History Channel.  I caught it a couple of times last night.
