"Never before has a date in history been so significant to so many cultures, so many religions, scientists, and governments. 2012 is an epic adventure about a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivors. Starring John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Danny Glover, Thandie Newton and Oliver Platt."
All action, no substance coming to a theater near you! Looks like a CGI infested summer action flick and its ironically being released during the fall. What do you all think?
It's actually only one culture that predicted this and that would be the Mayans. All other cultures have just joined the band wagon and started to believe it.
The date: December 21, 2012 is the day that their calendar ends which in turn comes to be doomsday. I honestly believe it! All their other predictions have come true, why not this one?

Do you not know the methods of the Maya? They used astrology and mathematics to make their predictions/beliefs.
The most significant one they ever predicted was that their culture would be over run by the Spanish conquistadors on a specific date. And sure enough, that's what happened. They basically predicted their demise.

Academic research does not indicate that the Maya attached any apocalyptic significance to the year 2012: the date for the end of their world lay unimaginable aeons of time in the future.

If you believe it, you will make it come true.
Why do we seem to be going through this nonsense every couple of years lately?

The guy that invented this Mayan belief of a 2012 end died of a brain tumor, he had the tumor pressing on his brain when he created this story. Have you ever seen an educated book (yes book) and not on the Internet about this? Nope. Real scholars of the Mayan civilization believe that the calendar has an additional ring around it adding 1000s of years.
Now back to the OPs actual statement about it being a good movie, I agree looks good.
Now if we all stopped getting info of the Internet the world would be a better place.
Watch the History channel's special on 2012. It's interesting and explains exactly what it is that happens on that particular date that is so significant

Yeah, all their calendar says is that that date is the end of a big division of time (can't remember what they call it). But one way to think about is that it's like a century or a millennium.
They were pretty much just over-achievers who counted a lot more numbers then they had to. Show offs.
That's why I liked Cloverfield so much 
Hahaha!
