1. Svenska Dagbladet

6.6 / 10

Translated from swedish: The destruction of the Earth should not only be seen as something bad; it makes us realize the essentials of life and start appreciating our loved ones better.

2. Moviezine

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: I have to admit that I'm torn after watching "2012". On the one hand, Emmerich delivers exactly what was promised: the end of the world with extra butter on top. At the same time, he completely derails and piles on the family cuteness, pretentious speeches, and violins to such a degree that the action feast often loses its momentum.

3. Expressen

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: Unfortunately, Emmerich doesn't dare to take the step all the way. It's as if he doesn't trust that we can handle the armageddon anxiety and safeguards with sweetness and a few too many humorous doomsday jokes.

4. Toppraffel

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: I am particularly impressed by the scenes with the arks towards the end, when the movie takes on the characteristics of old science fiction.

2 / 10

Translated from swedish: It must be some form of malpractice to spend so much time and money on special effects and then waste them in this way.

Translated from swedish: Things will be what they will be. In the end, only the yawning remains.
