The movie begins in the year 2010 where a NASA scientist detects a massive asteroid coming towards earth that will crash into the Pacific Ocean and cause the tectonic plates to shift and possibly cause every continent on earth to sink.

Reception

HorrorNews.net reviewed the film, writing that "Frankhauser’s depiction of what will happen in 2012 is action packed, but lacks in character development and believability impedes the likability of the movie to a certain extent."[2]

Sequel

Another sequel was released the following year entitled 2012: Ice Age and borrowing elements from another of Roland Emmerich's films, The Day After Tomorrow.
