Do you believe in the Mayan calendar? Do you believe the world will end on December 21, 2012?
Well the latest disaster pic is upon us or will be in the theaters on November 13th.
Also another trailer at YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hz86TsGx3fc
Awesome computer graphics.
The Mayans just ran out of rock.
My calendar ends on December 31 2009.
I saw the trailer. It was pretty good, if vertigo-causing. Trouble is, the Mayan calendar doesn’t say the world is going to end in 2012. That year merely marks the change of an era, or a time-count period, in the same way the year 2000 marked a time-count period change on the Gregorian calendar that we use.
If Obama is reelected in November 2012 it doesn’t make any difference.
Well that just takes the fun and hysteria right out of it. :)
Putting aside, for a moment, the fact that I would have zero interest in any film starring John Cusack (even if Amanda Peete stepped up with another gratuitous nude scene), the trailer made me want to avoid this one for all its worth. I had no idea what was going on, and the CGI looked cheesey, not believable. No thanks.
“Do you believe the world will end on December 21, 2012?”
Absolutely, for the democrats.
Actually, the way things seem to be headed, it could happen. But, I am okay with that. I mean, if we’re all gone, I could hardly feel that I got screwed on the deal. LOL
Ca going down? What the? Is the Earth hollow? If the Earth is coming to an end where do they think they are going?
I loved it! Can’t wait
Awesome effects. Looks like it’s going to be some great fun.
Seen the trailers, it’s looking to be a shining example of everything that’s wrong with CGI. Because they can do MASSIVE special effects for dirt cheap that’s all they’ve got. At least the disaster movies from the 70s had some semblance of plot (not necessarily good plot, but some plot) because you couldn’t carry a 2 1/2 hour movie on the 3 killer sequences they could afford so they had to that other 2 hours with people talking. Now that people talking is actually more expensive than FX they can’t even be bothered to fake a plot. If it wasn’t for the fact that they know viewers like to emotionally bond with characters in peril they might do an all FX movie.
John Cusack ... it’s already got disaster written all over it
Cannibals got recipes?...
I saw it, and thought it looked downright silly. Driving on the edge of a fault line, outracing the shock waves, flying planes between falling buildings. I thought it was a spoof. I can’t believe anyone would package 2 hours of this into a movie....
