Reception

HorrorNews.net reviewed the film, writing that "Frankhauser's depiction of what will happen in 2012 is action packed, but lacks in character development and believability impedes the likability of the movie to a certain extent".

Sequel

Another sequel was released the following year entitled 2012: Ice Age and borrowing elements from another of Roland Emmerich's films, The Day After Tomorrow.
