The world ravaged by fires, earthquakes, meteor showers and floods and a heroic struggle for survivors.
It sounds like something straight out of Hollywood - and it is. This is the first glimpse of the latest U.S. blockbuster, 2012.
John Cusack leads an all-star cast, featuring Danny Glover, Thandie Newton, Woody Harrelson, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Amanda Peet struggling to stay alive when the Earth is threatened with the biggest disaster man has ever known.

Disaster begins to spread across the Earth at a rapid pace with Brazil's beautiful Rio de Janeiro submerged under the ocean.
The city's iconic Christ the Redeemer statue is seen crumbling into dust as it is surrounded by fish and stingrays.
Addendum: I have found it generally to be a safe assumption that any movie with ‘Woody Harrelson’ in it is one I can avoid without any loss including my own money and sanity.
The preview of that movie is so far over the top I literally was laughing at the theatre.
I always love it when the natural carnage CHASES the star of a movie from behind.
Of special note is the sequence where the entire earth is falling away from the airplane. I nearly died when the pilot chooses to fly between to collapsing buildings when he seemed to have time to go around. This movie could be the biggest comedy (on accident) IN YEARS !!!
So you won’t be seeing “zombie land” either?
Another one to miss.
Another one to miss.
Guess I am jaded but I can’t watch movies like this one anymore. I may rent it from the dollar machine at McDonalds, though.
“John Cusack leads an all-star cast, featuring Danny Glover..., Woody Harrelson”
Yeesh, isn’t there a limit on the number of leftist ultra-kooks allowed per movie? I mean, even for Hollyweird?
Disclaimer: I do enjoy Cusack’s acting, just nothing he does off stage. Harrelson and Glover do nothing for me.
I try to avoid anything named Woody, in general. See what I mean...?

It’s a digital effects orgy. The trailer has an airplane almost at street level, dodging falling buildings. NO. The pilot would climb ABOVE all that stuff.
It’s the Day After Tomorrow on steroids. Just laugh along with the audience and don’t spend more than a matinee ticket.
I try never to miss a Chiwetel Ejiofor movie.
Obama’s 2nd term?
It won't happen.
Palin will win, and deny Obama 4 more years.
I actually like movies like this... Independence Day is one of my fav’s....... just pure fantasy movies...
Woody Harrelson - "The warmongers who stole the White House... have hijacked a nation's grief and turned it into a perpetual war on any non-white country they choose to describe as terrorist."
Danny Glover - "The progressive movement against the war of occupation in Iraq is a reason for hope, as is resistance to free trade agreements in Latin America."
John Cusack - "I'm saying I don't want that [bleep] Bush in the White House"
This one has to be stinker. I wouldn't watch these a$$holes for $787 billion.
Chiwetel Ejiofor?
Here’s an anecdote about “Independence Day”.....
During the summer of 1996, Bob Dole took a break from his campaign schedule while visiting Los Angeles and he attended a showing of “Independence Day” at a movie theater in Hollywood with one of his campaign staffers.
When exiting the theater, a reporter asked Senator Dole what he thought of the movie. “It was a good movie,” Dole replied. “Alot of people died....”
Dole’s aid immediately quipped to the reporter, “Alot of LIBERALS!”
Hmmmm.....he must have been referring to the scenes in the movie showing the alien destruction of New York, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C.
Read the book Earth Abides by George Stewart.
Much more believable.
Clover is a scumbag who I have loathed since he said GWB executed many black and Hispanic men when he was governor. Oh really? I thought juries and judges sentenced murderers to death. Clover buys into this nonsense that these were just innocent victims of racism apparently. Like that is the only reason they got executed.
How odious these people are. The damage they have done to this country is incalculable.
that's weird ... I'm reading this book. Ish's description of the overpopulation of ants and other "man" based animals is pretty interesting.
