Reception
Collider called it a "thermonuclear dumpster fire," claiming it makes Roland Emmerich's film look like Citizen Kane. Richard Drake at Arkansas Times wrote a negative review saying they will "find someone who really needs their weekend ruined, and pass this movie along to them."
Film critic Christopher Armstead said it has "glorious and unexpected humor" but that pacing may leave those without patience unable to continue. OutNow scored it 1 out of 6, criticizing the effects and claiming "it is a mess, even for fans of trash cinema."
The film ranks #1 on Collider's 10 Worst Disaster Movies of All Time.
Sequel
Although the film was released before the Emmerich title in 2009, The Asylum announced that a sequel called 2012: Part 2 would be coming, since Dolenz's character survived.
