From what remember, Jodie Foster's character wasn't just some passenger, she was the person who designed the plane.

It's a movie about a conspiracy onboard an airplane. The title is a play on words.

Doesn't mean she was free to wander around anywhere she liked when the plane was in flight!!
Bah. :(

It's very, very hard to name the single worst thing about this movie, but I think the scene when a wave bigger than the Himalayas carrying the Air Force One airplane crashes into the arks made my brain hurt the most.
What were they thinking ?
Honorable mention goes to SyFy's "Morlocks", a spin on the classic "Time machine" story by Wells, here the morlocks come from the future to eat people and blow **** up, apparently. I started watching this because I like David Hewlett's Dr McCay from the Stargate series (don't hate) so I was hoping he'd bring some character into this... instead I got a headache from screaming "WTF" at the tv. Describing this as science fiction is a slap in the face of science. I usually don't do this, but I actually texted several of my friends to watch it too and tell me I was wrong. I wasn't.

I dunno, while 2012 is in all rights a pretty stupid movie, it's at least skillfully directed and stays away from many of the annoying things you find in most big budget blockbuster movies. Also lets face it, the only reason you're watching a movie like this is to watch wide scale destruction of famous landmarks, I mean you're expecting to see the White House get destroyed by something, you're aching for improbable pet survival and a camper van outrunning an Earthquake, so complaining about it is like complaining about there being horses in a cowboy movie. At least Emmerich knows the basic building blocks of cinematography and knows how to stack the blocks, and doesn't resort to using many of the annoying trends I see in a lot of action movies these days like unnecessary shakey cam, genre defining coloring, and fucking lens flares.

I thought 2012 was a bad movie but I kind of agree with Pete that you have to temper your expectations due to what kind of movie it was.

A good example of a blockbuster movie that had absolutely no redeeming qualities for me would be 10,000 B.C. That was just awful on all accounts.

Or anything with Michael Bay's name on it.

I liked The Island, but he can shove The Transformers up his ass if it were up to me.

Ultraviolet. And the one like ultraviolet but one of the chicks had hands.

It is up to you.

And so it will be. With no lube.
