Re: 2012 Movie

I've read a little bit about the story behind the movie. Pretty interesting...

Re: 2012 Movie

Trailer looks good, but scary at the same time. Only 3 years until 2012. Didn't the Mayans or somebody predict the end of the world in the year 2012?

Re: 2012 Movie

John Cusack is in it, instant watch for me.

And how many people are going to think this is 2001 and 2010's sequel? LOL

Their Long Count calendar ends in December 2012. Some people are running around with the theory that the apocalypse is coming at that time, but IIRC the Mayans believed an Enlightenment would occur.

Re: 2012 Movie

I love these apocalyptic type movies, so I will be seeing it. Can't say I really believe the world will end in 2012. It could end tomorrow, we will never know.

Re: 2012 Movie

Could be entertaining but I'm not sure where they're gonna go with it exactly. Might just end up having some stupid plot twist and it'll be no good.

As for the subject matter...just like it was supposed to end Jan. 1st,2000 right? or sometime in 2002 cause of 9/11 right? or June 6th,2006 right? or even earlier this year when they were playing with that machine in Germany right?...yeaaaah...right.

A few months ago I had my honeymoon in Mexico. We took a day tour of the Mayan ruins and this was a topic on the bus ride over (note: if anyone gets a chance to view the ruins and hear the stories, I highly recommend doing so. The Mayans were amazing people). Our tour guide was a Mayan history guru and debunked the entire "Mayans calendar ends in 2012 and will represent the end of the World".

It's an interesting theory and one that will cause some panic, but IMO it's more of a media myth than anything else. Fun to read about though.

What's more interesting to me is the fact that the sun will align perfectly with the center of the milky way on 12/21/2012 at 11:11pm. It will be the first time that's happened in 26,000 years.

The calendar simply starts back at the year zero, so I've heard from a guy who's an expert in this stuff. I don't see what the big deal is anyways. I don't believe any of the Mayan religious stuff, so why should I care about if/when they think the world is going to end?

I wish they'd make 2061: Odyssey Three into a movie.

I consider myself a pseudo-expert on the Mayan calender ending, as I find it extremely interesting. My take on this is that the Mayans either said, "Wow this is far enough to make this calender in advance, or they knew that something celestial was going to happen. I tend to lean toward the celestial theory a little bit more than the tired Mayan theory. I think we will experience something in 2012, whether it is an unusual eclipse, a new planet or comet sighting, or my worst case scenario a polar shift. The Mayans were extremely meticulous people, and I cannot imagine that this calender ending is coincidental with the alignment of the Milky Way.

I am looking forward to Emmerich's new film, I just hope it's better that B.C. was.

The Mayans were also directly responsible for their own deaths. Let's not give them too much credit.
