With the deluge of trailers, which culminated in a 5 minute sequence airing on something like 30 networks at the same time last week, I think it’s safe to say that everyone is aware of Roland Emmerich’s latest disaster-rama 2012.

And I think it’s really safe to say that people aren’t looking forward to the flick to see the effects, but rather take in some solid, Oscar caliber acting.

Luckily, some intrepid YouTube user took the 5 minute teaser clip from last week, and cut out all those useless effects, leaving us with nothing but Shakesperian level acting from John Cusack and Amanda Peet.

You can just SMELL the awards!
