2012: 特效惊人，剧本年度最糟糕（标签 娱乐）

Spectacular special effects and one of the dumbest screenplays(n.电影剧本) of the year

This picture works as a spectacular(adj.壮观的) special effects extravaganza(n.豪华演出) with destruction sequences that are unparalleled(adj.无与伦比的，空前的) in the history of filmmaking. If you have always wanted to see what the catastrophic (adj. 灾难的) devastation of cities around the world would look like, "2012" provides the answer. Millions will want to go to the theater for that reason alone(adv.单一地).

But seasoned(adj.经验丰富的，老练的) director Roland Emmerich ("Independence Day", "The Day After Tomorrow") badly hobbles(v.缚住，牵制住) the story with a lame(adj.跛脚的,令人不愉快的) and far-fetched（不自然地，无法轻易接受的）screenplay with lines so bad and so silly that they will elicit(v.引出，得出) laughs from the audience.  In addition, he uses every formula(n.老套) character or incident from the long list of disaster movies from the past. For example, sympathy for a dog in jeopardy(n.危险).

A final note: in "2012" Buddhists(n.佛教徒) handle the catastrophe better than Christians(n.基督徒). We honor the equanimity(n.镇定) of a Tibetan lama and the actions of a compassionate(adj.富有同情心的) monk but feel little for the Catholic priests huddled(v.蜷缩) in St. Peter's before it collapses(v.倒塌) on top of them and sends the throngs(n.群) of Catholics gathered outside running for their lives.

参考译文：
这部影片有着惊人壮观的特效，它所展现的灾难毁灭场景，在电影历史上罕有匹敌。如果你想看全世界毁于一旦是何情景，《2012》会给你一个答案。上百万的观众只是为了这个理由去电影院一睹为快。

但这次经验丰富的导演罗兰·艾默里奇（曾执导过电影《独立日》与《后天》）却被蹩脚且又牵强的电影台词所束缚，糟糕且又些许愚蠢的台词让观众忍俊不禁。除此之外，他在片中设置的人物和情节也都是过去那些灾难片所用的陈芝麻烂谷子。举例来说，主人公们在十万火急的关头还不忘救助小狗。

最后一点：在影片中，佛教徒在灾难面前的表现比基督徒们要好多了。我们会对片中西藏喇嘛的镇定和一位僧侣的善行肃然起劲，但对一群躲在圣彼得教堂祈祷的神父却不会有这种感觉。观众会看到，圣彼得教堂轰然倒塌，聚集在其外的天主教徒们纷纷逃命。
