Several years before, geologist Adrian Helmsley comes across information that shows the world will come to an end in 2012. No announcement is made but the G8 countries begin to prepare for the event. Jack Curtis is a divorced and a less than successful writer. While on a camping trip with his children in Yosemite, he meets Charlie Frost, who is preaching that the end of the world is at hand. A series of events leads Curtis to believe what Frost has told him and with his family, heads for China where the industrialized countries have been working on a response to the impending disaster.
A frustrated writer struggles to keep his family alive when a series of global catastrophes threatens to annihilate mankind.
Newsflash-the Earths core is already molten-well, other than that, the film works OK…in fact the visual effects surpass any other film I have ever seen in terms of sheer scope and immensity-it is truly something incredible to see-perhaps even mind blowing. The plot is well constructed and the acting is excellent so that definitely helps along the end of the world scenario put forth in this here flick. Funny that despite the fact this was a significant movie event for most film goers there were still people in the audience huffing and hawing through the film, texting as much as eight times in succession creating annoying bright lights coming from somewhere in front type of thing-which surprised me a bit. Also funny-I think-was the way NASA goes on CNN saying that the movie is not based on real science re its 2012 date for the end if things, when the Mayan calendar does in fact end at 2012…I think that NASA recently also saying that they feel there is water on the moon does not help their credibility all that much-well, I know I think that the moon is waterless, despite NASA saying the contrary. There is nothing like silly science to make a day complete. I was impressed by this film but I don't believe that the Mayans were more knowledgeable about the Erarth than modern man in general. I seriously doubt if anyone believes that Earth will cease to be in 2012-the film is just good fun, and worth a look, to me.
I went into this movie with much skepticism. Afterall, this year&#39;s mega budget pictures have all ended up feeling like a high-class tranny hooker. Good on the outside, but in no way pleasing nor satisfying on the inside, not that id know. (ie. Transformers 2) <br/><br/>Especially with such a huge topic of THE END OF THE WORLD, you&#39;d expect this movie to fall flat on its back after half an hour or so (ie. Knowing, good Lord what was that). But this movie did surprise me.<br/><br/>It did not try to conjure a convoluted and nonsensical plot-line to justify the end of the world, and the sub plots all come together a tad shakily but albeit, steadily eventually.<br/><br/>What I enjoyed most was the attention put to the different moral aspects of human nature and survival, and the reign of goodness vs selfishness in human morality. It wasn&#39;t deep, but just addressing this seemed sufficient to bump up a couple of points.<br/><br/>See this movie. Its well done (for its genre of disaster flicks) and is a visual treat. And dare I say, at times had me on the edge of my seat…<br/><br/>This isn&#39;t gonna win any Oscars but it will satisfy any viewer seeking FINBALLY a above average disaster flick that does most things right.
The mother of all disaster movies (and the father, and the extended family) spends half an hour on ominous set-up scenes (scientists warn, strange events occur, prophets rant and of course a family is introduced) and then unleashes two hours of cataclysmic special events hammering the Earth relentlessly.
December 21st, 2012 marks the ending of the 13th b&#39;ak&#39;tun cycle of the Mayan Long Count Calendar, and it&#39;s also the last cycle of the Long Count. The Mayan Calendar ends December 21st, 2012. The 2012 Doomsday belief suggests that the Mayans foretold the end of the world at this time and, since the world is ending, there&#39;s no need to continue counting days or making calendars past that point. While that date would have had significance to the Mayans, there&#39;s no proof they actually believed the world would cease to exist. The ending of one calendar would start a new calendar, similar to how the current year ends on December 31st, but a new year is made at the same time. Some news articles published in the months leading up to December 21st, 2010, finally called into question the validity of the Mayan Calendar, stating that the end date of the calendar is recalculated to bypass December 2012 or that it had already passed. Director Roland Emmerich is known for his disaster films full of moments of comic relief. 2012 has a bit of comedy in it, but the majority of the movie is serious and sometimes quite emotional and dramatic. The scientists in the film state that the end of the world has started earlier than predicted; most likely during the summer period of 2012 and not winter, as newscaster dialog announces that the XXX Olympic Summer Games (to be held in London from the 27th July to the 12th August, 2012) have been suspended in the movie. Since the movie is about the end of the world, the majority of the world&#39;s population die, but many of the main characters survive. It has been mentioned that 100,000 people would be on each ark, plus some 10,000 Chinese workers. There are three of these ships in total, meaning that around 310,000 people survived. No. It&#39;s impersonator <a href="/name/nm3636991/">Lyndall Grant</a> playing the part of Governor Schwarzenegger and reading his dialog for comic effect. President Thomas Wilson (<a href="/name/nm0000418/">Danny Glover</a>) decides to stay behind while his staff boards Air Force One to escape the upcoming natural disasters. When a large earthquake strikes the nation&#39;s capital, the President, along with many others, is helping wounded citizens on the front lawn of the White House &amp; everyone is knocked to the ground. After the President picks himself up, he sees a large tsunami carrying a aircraft carrier hurdling towards him. The scene ends as the wave and the carrier (ironically named the USS John F Kennedy CV-67) crash into the White House. Not really but Jackson (<a href="/name/nm0000131/">John Cusack</a>) is probably meant to, in a minor way, symbolize Christ. Jackson&#39;s initials are J.C., and there are biblical references, such as his son being called Noah, and the arks are to help during the flood. He also leads a group of people away from danger to safety, which is a slight parallel to Jesus leading his followers to a new faith in God, etc. 2012 is based on a spec script (speculative script) co-written by director Roland Emmerich &amp; co-producer Harald Kloser, indicating in the the end credits that the film was &quot;inspired in part&quot; by the book Fingerprints of the Gods by Graham Hancock. The film borrows several themes and elements from Jules Verne&#39;s rarely known novelette &quot;The Eternal Adam&quot;, which shows a distant future archaeologist called Sofr-Ai-Sr, who belongs to a completely different civilization from ours called Hars-Iten-Schu, and someday finds a manuscript inside an aluminum box, narrating how in May 24th, 2XXX, a limousine driver called Modesto Simonet, his scientific boss (who wrote the manuscript), other scientifics on a vacation, and several other notable men and their families in Rosario, Mexico, survived a sudden flooding from the Atlantic Ocean by the heroic act of Simonet, who drove a car as fast as he could towards the mountains. In a matter of hours, the whole American Continent sinks in the ocean, except for the small island that used to be a mountain. They are rescued by a cargo ship, and they wander in a futile search for land anywhere else, only to discover that the tiny island was growing every time they passed by. The manuscript author ponders on the fate of Atlantis, and points a parallel with his situation. This old document leads Sofr to think that his civilization is descendant from those survivors after a period of mass involution of the human race, and that they survived thanks to a whole new continent that raised from the bottom of what used to be the Pacific Ocean for the survivors, and for Sofr is the only existing continent. Also, Sofr theorizes that is imminent that another global flooding happens someday. While the movie is far from an adapted work, a small credit would have been used instead of that of Graham Hancock, given the obvious allusions, but the reason why it wasn&#39;t the case is not known by the public. The world was either not given enough time to finish them or there wasn&#39;t enough money to build them without drawing attention and causing panic. Also, the Captain of the main cruiser tells Anheuser that one of the other ships developed a technical malfunction and possibly can&#39;t be used during the evacuation.
