Just watched it for 60 Rupees (less than $1.50) here in the movie theater.
Quiet epic. Despite awful errors that would make the scientific community disappointed, the stunning visuals kept you at the edge of the seat. The action was awesome. This will probably be the disaster movie that will never be beaten.
The massive ships were damn cool and nicely designed.
Anyone who watched it post here...

It was done by the same people who did "The Day After Tomorrow" so I had high hopes for it. I'll get around to checking it out one of these days.

"The disaster movie that will never be beaten?"
Not likely. Good action makes a good action movie. Good special effects make good eye candy. Intelligent writing featuring human tragedy and will to survive... that makes a good disaster movie. Action is entirely superfluous when the ideal focus of the genre is not what people do but why they do it. which is, incidentally, why we have an entire action genre for when folks just want to watch shit blow up. 2012 is not a disaster movie, it is an action movie with a disaster in place of a human protagonist.
Here's an example of doing it right.
The only reason- and I mean the only reason- why 2012 is getting so much attention is because it is shamelessly cashing in on the latest societal armageddon prophecy fad. That's why Day After Tomorrow did so well, too. These are not movies which will endure past our own generation. I'm sure it was entertaining enough, but I really don't see anything particularly revolutionary here. Don't get me wrong, watching mass destruction is really cool, but this is not the best thing that's ever happened in the field of Earth-smashing.
"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived of the use of them." - Thomas Paine

Emmerich never has, and never will make a good movie. He's a "creative" writer (that doesn't mean good), but he is an absolutely terrible director. What he's good at is making half-assed movies with a lot of explosions, explosions make good trailers, good trailers make for big opening weekends. Then after that those movies fall back down into the gutter to forever be forgotten, thankfully.
Stargate is open to interpretation. The idea was good, but thank god he didn't have anything to do with the show.
