Doomed Performance
The movie was covered by a variety of media, including not only traditional film marketing but also video game publications because of its source material. As a nod to the fan-base, a portion of the film was filmed from a first-person view as an homage to the appearance of the video games. Despite all this, however, the movie was badly received by movie critics for its action movie cliches and by computer game enthusiasts for omitting major plot points from the original video games. Even star, Dwayne Johnson has made fun of the film in published interviews. -
Quotes
- "When we go into first-person perspective, the audience is doing the rampage, the audience is doing the work and that is so cool. It's insane!" — Star Karl Urban
- "...we didn't wanna rely on the CGI. Those effects still haven't quite got to the level where you fully believe it - certainly not for long periods of time." — -Producer John Wells

It's clear that 2012 is NOT a movie about doom (even tho I just watched the trailer). PLUS a news that there will be 2013... TV series. Huh?
