 |  | Christian Propoganda Disaster |  |
I was really excited to see this film...I actually thought initially that it would be "The Odessey" another 2012 film which is a documentary but quickly realized that it was actually a film that acted out a storyline based on 2012 prophecies. At this point I was still interested to see how the film would come together, and was even willing to completely bypass the terrible acting in order to see 2012 come to life in a way that I've only imagined from some of the books and research I've done myself. Let me say now, that not only was the acting horrendous, the storyline sucked, and I felt like I was watching a really corny version of Touched by an Angel. The whole flick completely took chosen bits and pieces of the ancient Mayan prophecy and made it into a Christian propoganda film. I am a Christian so I can appreciate my faith and appreciate what it is I believe in, but watching someone take two separate and completely different prophecies to try and sell the apocolypse honestly just pissed me off. I like how the people 'called' to do the Lord's work were all American, and the females were two blondes who questioned their belief in a higher being. The whole rapture thing being tied with the whole mayan temple thing...completely broken, made NO sense and I feel like I just lost an hour and a half of my life watching that garbage. If you really want to know about 2012, check out the History Channel's video on it, or "The Oddessy" so that you can get an unsensored, real version that makes alot more sense and isn't trying to sell nonbelievers a bogus version of the story. I hope you read this before you waste your money, it was a complete mess.

So then Cliff De Young explains why the rotation of the Earth is slowing down. Actually he explains why it might be slowing down. Apparently they couldn't measure it in any way so none of our crack scientists know for sure even though they have it timed down to the moment when it will stop. Then he makes the statement that this is the only theory that makes sense. I had to go back and replay his explanation of the black hole causing the Earth's rotation to slow and it still made absolutely no sense at all. None. Okay, we're beyond that, let's discuss acting. Well, there wasn't much in this film to discuss. It was horrible. Special effects? Oh man!!! Other reviewers mentioned the hail storm where basball size hail was falling all over and the guy was actually swerving the car to miss them as they fell. That's some sweet driving. Unfortunately not sweet enough though, for out of these giant pieces of hail, one, about an inch wide it appears from the damage to the windshield does find its mark, and hits the glass, then rips a hole in the driver's chest that looks like the creature from Alien just came out of him. Some lucky cast members were "raptured" prior to the great disaster. Why wasn't the missionary raptured? She was the most God fearing person in the film, totally devoted and faithful, yet she was left behind. Maybe it was to help fulfill the prophecy, but really... That wasn't right. Ultimately, the moment comes when all light is extinguished on Earth, then the girl gives birth and the light comes back out. Okay, we lost the West Coast, but other than that, Earth came out of this disaster pretty good. Well, they did use the last 24 hours to completely evacuate the entire West coast. Yeah, right. Well, on the good side, Amy Dolenz was nice to look at. The bottom line here is that this film will leave you wondering: If there really is a God, would he allow mankind to make movies this bad?

Someone stated that this was amateurish work. Actually, I've seen BETTER work by amateurs. This was a complete waste of celluloid. I'm not sure why anyone would have TARNISHED their reputation as an actor to be associated with this production.
Is there anything ELSE worth saying?
This film does NOTHING to explain the 2012 ideology. It is horrible. This film is full of people who can't act. The script is just atrocious. The premise: is there one? The disappearing woman who wears lip gloss in a color way to young for her. The pregnant woman who delivers in the Mayan temple...
Why was SHE added in the mix?
The rescue worker who was in dire need of a shrink LONG before this 'event' happened. And...
as the rest of the world collapses (literally), they are all SAFE in this Myian temple that opens with a CRUCIFIX? Oh puleeze.

I Just sat throught this Film and can say for Sure, I won't EVER watch it again.. Awful does'nt come close to rate this Rubbish. Most exciting thing about this movie is the DVD Cover..The story plot was no point, The acting from Woman with cut on her back (Who thankfully Died) was so wooden I wanted to slap her, and Tell her to go back to acting School....
Also It should of been called 2012 Read the Bible, because The religion was Use way to Much in the film and most of it was Pointless I am R.C. myself, But they went way over board....
Now for the action, There was the part with areoplane and wind and ermmmmm that was the action... Unless you count the earth tremmors..Overall i give Movie -1 and that being kind...
May 17, 2008This movie sucks...I doubt it was even filmed in Mexico...Seemed more like Canada. There is very little time at Chichen Itza, which was one of the reasons why I bought this movie. The acting was terrible, I defently would not watch it again....Which is too bad, because the idea of Doomsday is pretty cool.
