Um, I think you summed it up pretty well. I have to throw in, from the moment "President Glover" appeared on the screen, I could not stop laughing.
Where do I even start with this movie? UGH...I did like the CGI, which is really why I went to see the movie. I will give away nothing so the rest of you can suffer as did I..oops I mean so you all can enjoy the movie.

Someone said earlier in the thread that it would be very graphically beautiful, and they were right.
That said, there were lots of "Oh, come on!" moments and some definite plot holes. A lot of things that happened were just too serendipitious to believable. John Cusack and his family are the luckiest people alive, apparently. You just have to suspend your sense of disbelief or you're not going to enjoy it. Granted, it was a movie about the end of the world, so everything's going to be a bit far-fetched. But the science, especially, was pretty ridiculous.
Some parts really were funny... the Russian billionaire is a hilarious character. But on the whole, it was certainly an action movie, and I spent most of the time being very nervous. And 2.5 hours is a long time to be nervous! I don't think there was any part where it lagged, though, despite it being so long.
To those who have seen it... call me a heartless bitch, but I was definitely on Anheuser's side at the end.
