I was a let down more because I expected so much more! I thought this was going to be about 2012. not some dumb remake of a sci fi movie, and from what I hurd, not a good one at that! 3 outa 10 you see, the main problem with this movie is that its name dosent hold up! there is nothing in that movie about what is “seriously” speculated about 2012.

Then, you'd be assured that no second-rate actor would fill the lead role and most important, the script would be made into a piece of art. Pixar should try its hands at a remake like this.

In the end it's all about what someone thought would make the most money, but not having things like "Klatuu Barada Nikto" is just dumb. That's iconic of the original. It's like remaking the classic Star Trek and renaming the ship something other than the Enterprise. Yeah, I don’t get it.

I would expect that will be quickly changed. I wonder how long they’ll get away with “Totem” as a name for a robot who stands like an Indian totem pole…
