The CGI look a bit contrived and over the top.
Oh Maya!! People will freak out for sure.looks intense

Damn, I completely forgot the end of the world was in 3 years.
I wrote down a list of things I have to accomplish before 2012:
- Lose virginity
- Have my 1st beer
- Get in shape (yeah, so I look sexy when that big waves hits me)
- Get married and have kids
I think I can achieve 1 out of 4.
Where is John Cusack running to in the movie? If it's the end of the world is there really anywhere he can go?
He is going to the place nobody wants to go to, as he has no choice.
Little Rock, Arkansas.
But as you can see in the trailer, most people would rather die than go there.
That makes sense. I'm gonna go see that movie.
Looks pretty cool. I'll wait for the DVD though and hope it comes out before 2012.
If anyone is interested in this stuff (like me), you should read a book called "The Mayan Calender and The Transformation of Consciousness".
I've been reading up on this and the cultures of Mexico.
I think the Mayan calender ended in 2012 because the people got bored making it and said, " it. Let them go farther than 2012." And then they went of to bang virgins and eat some peyote.
There are a lot of crazy misconceptions about "2012" as far as I am concerned. This movie certainly will not help, especially with the people that have very limited knowledge on the subject
^^ I agree.
care to expand on that?
I love John Cusack and therefore will be watching this one.
Seems likes it's gonna be a great flick!!!
Not very realistic if you ask me.
The way I look at it, it's just the end of a cycle and the calender starts over from the beginning. I don't recall any indication from their culture that it's the end of the world. It's a series of cycles. Why do people like to make up the "end of the world?" I lost count how many times the world was suppose to live, in my lifetime.
What I've read I concur. But this is just a movie for entertainment value.
Yes I agree. I often say something like "because it was in the script" when explaining why something so far fetch happens.
I liked Independence Day a great deal. One of my all time favorite movies. I thought The Day After Tomorrow was a real loser. From the trailer, 2012 appears more like the latter.
I guess what separates them the most for me is the realism. Even though we have no solid evidence of extra terrestrials, the movies was very realistic. Many of the things in The Day After Tomorrow were flat out impossible to happen. They defy physics as we know it. I cannot think of a single thing in Independence Day that defies physics. Don't start by energy weapons, anti gravity, etc. defies physics. Just because we don't know how to do these things does not make it impossible.
I'm sure Jeff Goldblum knows about these things. After all, he was able to hack in to an alien spaceship computer system in a few seconds with a ing MAC.
Looks like it will be pretty, flashy, polished, shiny, and hollow.
About the book or the misconceptions? I guess they go hand in hand.
For the most part the Calender is about mapping cycles and events. It is not that they Mayan's were physic, just in tune with the patterns of nature (solstices, weather...).
The "transformation" or the "end of the calender" has been debated about for years. From what I gather there will be an end to our world, just not how this movie portrays it.
Basically the end of the world as we know it means you will see an evolution of sorts in the way people deal with each other, in technology and in what is important. There will be an evolutionary "jump" if you will. The Mayan's have mapped these events out, with some incredible accuracy, and you can kind of think it like steps on a pyramid approaching an apex. Many people will go from placing value on monetary things to the treatment of others along with the types of world leaders changing. People will be drawn to certain types of leaders and the amount of knowledge we have learned over the past 100's of years will happen in then next 10 as we go forward. Think of the concept of "time speeding up".
I am by no means an expert, and sometimes it is hard to follow because of the translation (definitions of their dates and time).
There is some talk of destruction, but it could be by man (religions) along with nature (out of our control), as well as the mind (evolution in our thinking)
One way or the other, believe it or not, it is very interesting stuff. A few things to get you started are that book I mentioned (along with a ton of others), as well as watching these videos and this show:
This is a series of videos by Ian Xel Lungold, very smart, just died of cancer actually. Kind of hoaky looking I know, but good info. I believe the book "Mayan Calender and The Transformation of Consciousness" was somewhat based on these theories and studies.
This is a video on the History Channel that makes it more appealing and reviews multiple sides of the studies. It is called Nostradamus 2012, it reviews many things, but has some Mayan Calender in it.
Guys, the Mayans found random caves and thought they were portals to .
GMAFB.
That being said, I as well have a Things to do before 2012 List.
Ahhh, the progressive wet dream is coming!!!!11oneMany people will go from placing value on monetary things to the treatment of others along with the types of world leaders changing.
LoL, As Natural Law as my witness....I will resist the collectivist hippy 2012 movement.
I'll watch it when it comes out on DVD.
