    I laughed so hard seeing how poorly this was executed

    The 12 Disasters Of Christmas is a weird movie. It is weird, because everything in it seems to be bad. The acting, the dialogues, the plot, the writing and not to forget the incredibly bad CGI (one of the worst I have ever seen). In a small town, young Jacey (Magda Apanowicz) has her birthday. And this event triggers the reappearance of 12 plagues the Mayans have encountered 1000s of years ago. But do not worry, her grandma knows she is "the chosen one" and passes an old ring on to her to stop the end of the world. There are 4 more rings to be found to stop armageddon and that gives us one and a half hours of whatever this movie is trying to be. I don't want to go into details that much, but I have to point out the CGI effects on the electric wires. I laughed so hard seeing how poorly this was executed, that the rest of the movie just left me with a smile. And not even a sour one! I even found myself enjoying it. Usually your first reaction would be, well, it was like that in the 80s sometimes. And then you notice the movie is from 2012. Nevermind then... This movie is a great opportunity for you, to show it to people who even complain about top notch CGI today. After they saw this here, they might appreciate it a lot more!

    Awful

    It is Christmas Eve when an ominous dark star appears in the sky; could this star be a sign that Judgment Day is near...

    Wow, this film is bad. On top of all the nonsense -- why did the Mayans hide all that stuff in Idaho, and why is the end of the world only happening in one city -- it was just bad on many levels, even for a film that appeared on SyFy (and changing the title to get it purchased / watched after Christmas will do nothing to save it).

    Worst of all was the naming of characters as "Joseph", "Mary" and "Jacey". I mean, you could try to make it a bit more subtle by at least calling the one guy Joe, but no.

    Syfy fans will enjoy

    I have watched many Syfy original movies, personally i find them very enjoyable. Unlike many of the other people who are negative about these kinds of movies and quick to give bad ratings and reviews. You need to be a fan of Syfy movies to really be able to enjoy this movie. Sure it does not compare to "2012" or some other popular doomsday movie. But to the right crowds and fans I believe many would still enjoy this movie. The effects and story line are not high rated or spectacular. But keep in mind, it is a Syfy original movie. The actors and actresses may not be well known or very popular. Even though some of them have been seen in other Syfy originals. Considering the movie genre,the casting, and storyline i really think they did a good job. I would really recommend it for any fan of Syfy movie originals.

    Can't get past the elephant in the room

    12 disasters that are beacons of the end of times. But they ALL happen in a little town that no one ever heard of and almost no one goes to???

    The key stone of any ... EVERY ... quality SciFi and horror movie is the 'suspension of disbelief'. The script and actors have to support this to ensure the audience gets drawn in and STAYS in the framework of the movie. And yet, they never once provide a sufficient explanation of why the whole world depends on a little town out in the middle of nowhere ... that didn't even exist when the architects of the prophecy was created. Come on, if you can't cover the basics do not expect a good rating.

    Yes, the film crew seemed to know what they were doing and the acting was actually good But without a solid story your audience is going to drift in and out of the experience, and ultimately have a negative experience.

    1 disaster...this movie!

    I watched this movie in Portugal. My friend was sick, so we stayed in and came across this so called movie. It's one of those movies you can't not not watch and laugh through the whole thing. The great thing about seeing it in Europe is that there is limited commercials.

    Mayan rings? Really? The father, Joseph, and the mom, Mary, have a daughter named Jacey??..JC....seriously??? and a son named Peter? There's even a "Jude" who betrays the holy family! Oh, and Kane...I was waiting for Abel to show up somewhere.

    I feel bad for Magda Apanowicz...I felt at one point she was thinking, "Why didn't I get that part in the Hunger Games???" If it's on, just leave on the background while your cleaning your litter box.

      Grant states that there have been a thousand years of European intermarriage with the Mayans. Europeans discovered the Mayans in the early Sixteenth century, so there has only have been at the very most five hundred years for interbreeding to occur.
