Over the decades, many have prophesized that the world will end when
the ancient Mayan calendar ceases on 21 December 2012. But before that
occurs, the human race is bound to face natural disasters such as massive
volcano eruptions, typhoons and other natural calamities. An academic
researcher opens a portal into a parallel universe and makes contact with
his double in order to prevent an apocalypse predicted by the ancient Mayans.
The movie was set to be released sometime in July this year but post
production logistics have got its release procrastinated to November 2009.
We are anticipating the teaser of 2012 with bated breath as there is far
too little to glue ourselves on at the moment.

is this a wedding spambot that posts off of a calculator about movies or what
-
Guess you'll have to wait for November to come. Too bad.
-
This movie will be terrible
-
the spambots are getting smarter! they're developing tastes in movies!
-
The word dumb needs more syllables just to express how stupid this is.
On the other hand, we need more words for awesome because wedding spambots posting movie threads rock.
-
yes, the spambots are becoming more human. have you noticed that since we added that poker advertisement, we've been getting very strange bots?
ITS A CONSPIRACY.
-
I especially like the XBOX PRINCESS title.
-
saw previews for this and it seems like generic end of the world movie all explosion no decent plot or characters
-
this movie has a navy carrier crashing into the white house

just like the mayans predicted!
edit: though i like the fact that the mayans never predicted shit
-
this movie is going to be a huge CGI SFX wankfest. If you're lucky, you'll get the heartfelt family moments plus the touching romance thrown in there (think The Day After Tomorrow). Some obligatory scenes with the President ("THIS...CAN'T...BE HAPPENING!") and we'll call it a day.
-
The only thing this has going for it is John Cusack.
I love Independence Day, and The Day After Tomorrow was okay, but it's starting to become a tired formula.
-
I think its just the spambots are getting closer and closer to finding out what I want. I do not like weddings but I do like BITCHES
-
my penis is more fun than this movie

His name, Gordon Freeman.
-
I'm going to see this for the (hopefully) amazing special effects. Not expecting anything else.
Some movies just don't have the same impact when viewed outside of the theaters.
-
do people really go out to see movies just for the special effects?
-
Ηιs name
Gordon Freeman
Fixed.

see fig. 1 "Transformers"
see fig 2. "Transformers 2"

the special effects look pretty good and tbh thats why I see a lot of actiony movies in theaters, everything look so much better on the big screen.
with movies like The Legend of Bagger Vance for example, theres no reason to see that in theaters unless you like seeing the golf grass up close and personal, or you absolutely can't wait to see it(which idk why you would it's kind of a boring movie but some of the characters were pretty good). then again I generally like sci-fi more than anything so yeah.
it's not like anyone went to see Transformers for the story because that was probably one of the most hokiest stories i've ever had to put up with, and its even worse in Transformers 2. the characters were incredibly forgettable and the only thing I remember was how awesome the special effects were.
it'll be same way with 2012.
-
i know 2012 isn't going to have a plot either but i don't want to go to a theater because of "welp!! cool CGI effects!" i guess i take movies too seriously to "appreciate" bad writing at the expense of high budget computer graphics robots
-
This film, like all CGI-fests just looks total wank, and I honestly can't see how anybody would want to watch it. It's cinematic cancer.
-
see fig. 1 "Transformers"
see fig 2. "Transformers 2"
But 2012 doesn't have robots. (that I can tell)
Sorry, but I have absolutely no reason to see this film if all it has is CGI of special effects, and no CGI of cool animated robots.
In complete seriousness, it makes all the difference in the world.
-
robots got nothing on a aircraft carrier crashing into the white house
-
You guys are crazy this movie looks brilliant... the next Transformers 2 for sure.
-
I swear to god I will pistol whip the next person who says wank!!!
also might see might not don't know yet
-
I dunno what Swordofkings said it's probably annoying though, but I did catch a good point about how some movies are just not worth seeing in theaters at all. I'm kind of depressed about EPIC MOVIE etc but comedy films are kind of useless to watch in the theatre and if it has lots of SFX then it probably is some epic movie bs anyway. Not that comedy movies can't look good but as whats his face on Mr. Show said adding fancy sets to a comedy skit adds absolutely nothing, it's not going to make it funnier or anything. So what I'm saying is movie theaters are pretty much designed for big stupid movies like this
wasn't 2012 the sequel to 2001 btw? or that random korean movie
-
After watching the trailer I am pretty sure this movie is like a giant troll.

You really, really shouldn't. Some movies just simply aren't meant to be taken seriously.
Movies like 2012 should only have one goal. Entertain. A developed plot and characters are a nice plus, but that's not what people going to see this movie for.

Which would be true, if 2012 didn't lOOK like it was supposed to be taken seriously.
Like I agree, Gi Joe man, ain't no citizen kane, it don't even look like it supposed to be no Orson Welles. 2012 does.
-
I have seen the trailer and before this movie I have known this already when I am searching for some Mayan culture and I really wish it will not happen in real life because it seems scary
-
2032 is when mankind will contact another planet (planet Gong), o we're safe for sure, 2012 is a lie.

It gonna happen, it's pretty much solidified and backed up with cold hard proof.

just be safe. I'd recommend you stock up on things like canned food and keep them in your basement
-
I hope this movie makes 2012 the next Y2K. I know people who are already freaked out by the YouTube videos and Discovery Channel specials.
-
Actually I have read again that the reason why Mayan were not able to make new calendar because of the invasion of the Spaniards
