2012 Doomsday Trailers

On December 21, 2012 four strangers on a journey of faith are drawn to an ancient temple in the heart of Mexico. For the Mayans it is the last recorded day. For NASA scientists it is a cataclysmic polar shift. For the rest of us, it is Doomsday.

Reviews
Protraph Lack of good storyline.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Matthew Vernon This is a review without the horrid comments that I've seen in other reviews. Let's give some mixed points:+ Okay acting: Some members of the cast performed ably. These few actors deserved better written roles in better movies despite what others on here have said. Some acting, on the other hand, is just bad, bad, bad. The woman who played Sarah had her good moments and her bad moments. When she's talking about her duty from God to stay in Mexico and help... she's like a wooden plank. And so is that random Mexican guy that she's talking to.Convenience: The biggest mistake you can make in a movie or novel is by inserting convenience and convenience. When reporting the quakes to his boss at the NSA, he mentions the one random Mexican town where the archaeologists are working. That then makes the boss worried. You've mentioned well known cities... and then thrown in a completely unknown name.Little details: A storm is approaching... the trees aren't moving? A man furiously typing during a huge emergency... his computer's not even turned on. How am I supposed to take your movie seriously when some guy's typing on a laptop that's not even on?+/- Template movie: You can see that a fair amount of work has gone into writing and realising the movie. There's also a fair amount of research into the Mayan calendar but the embellishment and embarrassing elaboration just makes it silly. Successful movies indeed expand history and myth for their own benefit... but it has to be believable. You don't want a template movie. You want your own movie.+/- Use of budget: Lots of movies have budgets that don't cover what they want to do. They have grand ideas of what should happen in the movie but can't realise it because the money is not enough. You don't need fancy CGI or animatronics to make a movie. Carefully selected actors and a solid story line is all you need to win over an audience.Random information: I never even realised, for example, that "Sarah" was the daughter of the NSA boss. I didn't even know about the Earth's rotation. Either I couldn't pay enough attention or it wasn't made clear... or... it was just thrown in by the writer.I originally gave it a two. After thinking carefully, I would say it's a three. Not because I'm generous, but because I've seen a lot worse. Effort has been put into this movie and the mistakes are due to oversights in certain areas, some of which are mentioned above. This is an honest opinion and admit it, there are nastier ones on this site.
Kanuck Kameraman AAAAaagggh. Actually, that's better than what you get from this piece of crap. What a waste of my 1.5 hours. Summary should be rewritten to include the "god message". This movie would be fine on Vision Network or some such crap, but it has no place on SciFi or Space. There's no science fiction - it's Anti Sci-Fi with that stupid god message splattered throughout. Acting so bad it can't even be campy, effects that don't make any sense and a plot we've all seen or heard before - which nobody with half a brain would sit through had we known what was coming. The only reason I watched to the end was in the hope that a tsunami or lightning bolt would wipe them out in the end. No such luck. Everyone who has wasted their time - even one minute - should join a legal action against whoever created this trash. Deserves zero votes. Not even a "Rotten Tomato".
fritzk 1 was the lowest I could pick and negative integers were not available. To say that this movie was a suppurating pustule on the backside of filmdom would be to do backsides everywhere an injustice. This was worse than watching educational movies on mining asbestos in the sixth grade. If you're into subtlety this is not the film for you. Although Faith Films is obviously trying to promote Christianity, beating the audience severely and constantly about the head with a God hammer, as this piece of schlock does, would make even the most wrathful God cringe and wring his hands in shame. I sincerely hope that the Angels who invested in this lost their shirts so they can never fund another extended assault on decency, humanity, intelligence and good taste. I concur with a previous reviewer who suggested that this movie come with a noose. Its only redeeming feature is the hilarious pleas for retroactive euthanasia from those unfortunate enough to have watched it.
johnbrettm Too bad it was just the bug-eyed, religiously delusional old lady that got raptured out of this film. I wish the entire cast, crew, director, and especially the scriptwriters had been raptured to high heaven before this dreck was produced. Then the rest of us unfortunate souls left behind wouldn't have had to endure this theological, cinematic insult. The acting is wincingly bad. The dialogue painfully wooden. I'm trying to remember a movie worse than this but I just can't. My favorite part: in the climactic scene, with Doomsday seemingly near at hand, we see the pregnant "Wakanna" being led up the steps of the temple to give birth to some new savior who will lead us all back to God. The dude helping her says, not once, but twice,"Watch your step."
