In "Independence Day" and "The Day After Tomorrow", Roland Emmerich brought us extreme disaster films. His latest effort is the ultimate disaster film. 2012 has long been heralded as the year a global transformation occurs. Some believe it will be a transformation in consciousness, after which only humans of advanced consciousness will remain on the earth. Others believe it marks the end of a series of global catastrophes such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tectonic plate shifts, or polar shifts that will eliminate most of the Earth's human population, so the planet can make a fresh start. Both beliefs are derived from research on the Mayan Long Count Calendar, which predicts the end of the earth on December 21st, 2012, the end of the calendar's thirteenth B'ak'tun cycle. Emmerich chose to go with the physical disaster scenario. As in his earlier disaster films, there's a lone scientist (John Cusack) who figures out what is happening and alerts the government so loss of life can be minimized. Also, this scientist has a pretty ex-wife (Amanda Peet) who loves him, but can't live with him. There's an eccentric prophet of doom (Woody Harrelson) who has been trying for years to warn humanity about the danger, but who has been ignored. And there is the political leadership: the U.S. President (Danny Glover), his lovely daughter (Thandie Newton), his Chief of Staff (Oliver Platt) and his Science Advisor (Chiwetel Ejiofor). The disasters are global, including regions familiar to American viewers: earthquakes along the San Andreas Fault and volcanic activity in the Yellowstone Caldera. Besides the Arks - life rafts for the wealthy and politically connected - the film is a predictable disaster film, featuring dubious science, implausible scenes, narrative cliches, one-dimensional characters, and heavy handed moral and emotional lessons. Prepare to be entertained but not enlightened


Assuming this spoiler is trustworthy, Danny Glover as the President is a little strange is it not? After all, we did just elect "the first black president" didn't we? Is art copy life or life art?

I am not going to try to change you mind concerning you beliefs about 2012, we will all know soon enough, but the rationale behind what others believe is sound. We have little to go on about our world because so much of it is unknown. Unfortunately the only guide we have for our future is the past, and though it is not always a reliable tool it does sometimes provide us with helpful information.

If the Mayan calendar was the only resource that was being used to come to the belief that there will be earth changing events that are going to occur around 2012 then I could understand your distain and skepticism but it is not. Almost every indigenous culture has a historic record that points to an event of change during this time.

Thanks to a lot of hard work and diligence by quite a few people we don't have to start our research from scratch. I found Jay Weidner’s work very impressive and he more than some of the others has planted a seed of thought that makes me believe that it is more reasonable to believe that a consistently reoccurring event is more likely to occur than not occur though both possibilities are indeed available.

So you can believe what you chose but I think your comments are unfair to those that do believe. The chances are fifty-fifty. You are allowed your fifty allow them theirs.

Might find these interesting. Might not.
