DOnt be silly. At the end of the film it will obv be the americans who rebuild the entire planet in a couple of years

 

[TdC]

aha, how could I have not realised that! bully for them

 

[Shagrat]

I dont care about falg waving, you cant beat 2 hours of good disaster movie carnage. I'll just blank the last 10 minutes from my mind using drugs if it gets all smaltzy.

the Mayans missed out the zombies anyway, everyone know you cant have a proper apocalypse if the dead dont start walking around chewing bits off the living.

No doubt spiderman will be hanging from one of them at the end


Its got John Cusak in it, im sold

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

A surprisingly good cast list. Nice to see Chiwetel Ejiofor is deservedly getting continued employment, but other than that zero interest in seeing his remake of/variation on The Day After Tomorrow which was purest shit anyway.

She Who Must Be Adored will probably like it because once in a while she loves a popcorn muncher like this.

 

[Turamber]

Looks entertaining enough. Had to smile at the aircraft carrier being carried inland by the tsunami, looks like somebody has been playing Fallout 3.

 

[Ch3tan]

Got to say, the trailer looks good, visually stunning and it does have a good strong cast. Been a while since we had a good disaster movie, Armageddon and Independance DAy being the best in recent memory.

 

[Azurus]

I'm looking forward to the 'The Road' alot more, similar vein end on the world type stuff. It's from the author of No Country for Old Men and is being adapted by the same people. Plus it has Aragorn in it *swoons*.

YouTube - THE ROAD trailer

 

[TdC]

for some reason that reminds me of Left 4 Dead a lot o0

 

[Bahumat]

I think the Mayan just thought "right, i've done the calendar up till 2012, some other **** can do then next thousand years".

 

[Zenith.UK]

Actually you'll find that the Maya calendar "long count" has been in effect for 5125 years and that is what '"ends" on 21-Dec-2012. It's no more impressive than New Year's Eve, but it's an excuse for a party.

What always impresses me about the ancient civilisations is that they had an astonishing accuracy for long-term measurement. This page shows how the Maya counting system for dates takes into account the precession of the Earth's orbit. Take it with a pinch of salt though.

When i read this paragraph

Pretty tame stuff were it not for the fact that this date coincides with a time when there are almost 7 billion people on this planet that are guided by a leadership hell bent on doing business as usual, despite the indisputable evidence that drastic changes in governmental administration of social, economic and industrial domains are mandated by the conditions the citizens and denizens of planet earth find themselves in.

I stopped reading, whats politics got to do with explaining the maya calendar?

 

[old.Tohtori]

Said this in general; looks like a good enough "world ends movie" and hopefully there's no plot or love interests.

 

[Ch3tan]

The plot seemed obivous. John Cusack trying to get his family to one of the government "space arks", that they have not told the general public about. Cusack will become the hero that leads the people to the spaceships (probably two by two). And you have zero chance of there not being a love interest.

 

[Chronictank]

this may be a stupid question, but why was everything blowing up

i watched the trailer but have no idea :S

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

And you have zero chance of there not being a love interest.

I misread that at first as

And you have zero chance of not being a love interest.

The idea of Teh Seel in a movie as the love interest (other than a selfmade webcam type) just makes the mind boggle.

My mind would be pretty boggled by the selfmade webcam type as well tbh

 

[old.Tohtori]

Boys boys, don't worry, i'm not gonna challenge your sexuality by releasing any such video

What I didn't get about this trailer...

So the Aztec calendar is predicting the end of the world so a bunch of cathloics get together and pray it wont happen.

So either A. They beleive the Mayan/Aztec religion is the true one so whats the point in praying?

Or..

B. They beleive their god is true so pray to him but if theirs is the true god then why are they worried?

 

[kiliarien]

DOnt be silly. At the end of the film it will obv be the americans who rebuild the entire planet in a couple of years

Oh fuck, then it will be like going back to the stone age.

 

[pikeh]

Oh fuck, then it will be like going back to the stone age.

But with more burgers.

I chuckled at this, but from the trailer it does look like they are praying because a big wall of CGI bathwater is going around mass murdering.

Its bollocks anyway, since the Mayan calendar just resets, its got nothing to do with the end of the world from what I've been reading.
