audience reaction: Some people in the audience clapped their hands either because it was a good movie to them or because it was finally over.
recommendation: Although the special effects in this movie are great, it could have been better had this movie been made into an I-Max 3-D show. Also, those people who are into Bible Prophecy and Conspiracy Theory, such as myself, will be so sorely disappointed because to them this movie will just be relegated to the Hollywood shelf stuffed with a plethora of "disaster flicks" that are filed under "Conformity" not "Individuality." If you haven't noticed it yet, I purposely didn't include names in my "synopsis" and my "noteworthy scenes" because this movie proved to be such a let-down for me. Go see this movie knowing that it's just another one of those disaster movies that Hollywood churns out every now and then for quick bucks.
spoiler alert! The earthquake was of such magnitude that it would have also been experienced clear across the continental USA all the way to the eastern side--just something I learned in Geology class. The volcanic ash would have affected the plane in one of three ways: 1.) It would have clogged-up the engine, made the plane stall, then made it crash; 2. ) THAT volcanic ash was Super-Heated and would have made the plane burst into flames; and 3.) The ash was sulfuric ( sulfur dioxide ) , among other things, and would have killed everybody in the plane since it is very toxic in large amounts and, believe me, volcanic ash contains a large amount of it! ( The 3rd probability just mentioned assumes that since it was a low-flying plane, its occupants were all inhaling fresh, vented, air up until it was enveloped in volcanic ash. I didn't see anyone closing or covering the air vents. Did you? ) The cell-phone towers would have all been destroyed so that the cell phones shouldn't have worked anymore by the time the continents were all cracked-up ( and not in a funny way! ). And if the cell phones were still functional, no calls would have gotten through what with all the countless numbers of people bottlenecking the 'phone lines. The giant Jesus Christ statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was shown falling over with its arms crumbling off. Wrong! That statue was made with rebars set in it to make it structurally sound so that the arms would never be able to crumble off as shown. What's with the hug-the-kid-and-wife scene? In a real emergency situation, it would have been, "Get the Hell away from me, Woman! Can't you see the ship is sinking and it is up to me to keep everyone from drowning? So, leave me alone, bitch, 'cause I've got a job to do a.s.a.p!" Those giant gears would have easily wedged the impact wrench into place so that not even a team of elephants would have been able to pull it out--think about it. All those simultaneous global-wide volcanic eruptions would have created a nuclear winter, so that most of the Earth's surface, a few days later, would have become dark and snow- and ice-covered, freezing to death a great majority of survivors both on land and at sea. ( Why doesn't Hollywood consult with me first? I just don't understand! It is so exasperating; believe, you, me. )
And what's with the arks? This idiot screenwriter/director probably never read the Bible! Otherwise, he would know what Genesis, chapter 9, verse 15 is all about!
fyi: Back on August 20th, 1937, there was a strong earthquake in Cotabato, Mindanao, Philippines. This was on the 18th day after my father's 6th birthday. While everyone else in the village was feeling scared and running for cover, my father went into the street laughing and having a good time. The earthquake was strong enough to crack the ground. When my dad saw this, he told the man who lived nearby that he hoped that the man's house would be swallowed by the earth!
The REAL 2012 prediction centers around a planet alternatively called "X" and "Nibiru" ( also called "The 10th Planet" ) which is on a very elliptical ( almost like a straight line ) orbit and which will be in contact or in close proximity to Earth on Dec. 21st, 2012. Supposedly, every OTHER time that this planet swings around Earth, mass extinction occurs--and the last time it swung around ( 2,145 years ago ) nothing bad happened. So we are in for one Hell of an experience come 12-21-'12! It would be easy enough to summarily dismiss this as ancient hogwash but ... about a dozen ancient civilizations ( Sumerian, Mayan, Maori, Dogon, Aztec, Cherokee, Tibetan, Hindu, Egyptian, Zulu, etc. ) isolated from each other over time and space all arrived at the same conclusion: The End of Time, as we know it, will be on Dec. 21st, 2012, which would make it a Friday, to be more specific--and it won't be a TGIF affair! On this day, our "gods/creators", the Anunnakis, who live on planet X/Nibiru will harvest the Earth of its goodly bounty, the "RAPTURE" that fanatical Evangelicals spout about. The "Chaff", i.e. "bad people", will be left behind to fend for themselves and fight each other until the "Heavenly Hosts", i.e. the Anunnakis, put a stop to the senseless slaughter ( Revelation, chapter 19, verse 14 ).
Who are the Anunnakis? They are a race of giants ( The Nephilims that the Bible speaks of in Genesis, chapter 6, verse 4 ) who are genetically and technologically far more superior to us Humans, their genetic hybrid "created in their own image." They are not immortals but have extremely long lives, with an average life-span of about 50,000 years! ( According to an article printed in one of the websites which I visited. ) They are also the Pleiadians, a.k.a. "the Nordic types", who have a subterranean outpost and who have been monitoring humans for millennia, according to UFO and HOLLOW EARTH Theorists.
If what the ancients predicted will come to pass on that fateful day, after the looting and rioting, many people who will no longer feel constrained by society's code of ethics and moral conduct will be out en masse to rape and kill! So stock-up on "guns and ammo" ( and I'm not talking about the magazine of the same name ).
How will we be raptured? Here's something to ponder on: The only thing that is keeping us from flying off into space is Earth's gravity. If planet X/Nibiru gets close enough, its gravitational field may be at least as strong as that of Earth's so that "Equal but Opposite Forces Cancel each other out," plain and simple Newtonian Physics. If you wanna increase your chance of being raptured, make sure you are skinny ( go on a diet if you have to ) and outdoors on 12-21-'12. But just remember that planet X/Nibiru will be swinging by really fast so that if you don't get raptured at the perfect time you will either end up flying off into the vacuum of Deep Space or you will end up falling back down to Earth, neither one of which will be good for you! ( Well ... there goes my diet. )
How will we survive the rapture process? With the coming of planet X/Nibiru, it is speculated that mankind will undergo a punctuated evolutionary change for the better ( a shift in consciousness and being )--this is perhaps what the Bible means about the "Believers" being given "New Bodies" and "New Robes" to wear. But before you go on a "Yippeety Hoppity" trip, please bear in mind that the "Living Creatures" mentioned in the Bible look like mutants to us! So, do you want to look like a four-headed, horned, fanged, beaked, clawed, taloned, multi-limbed, scaled, furred, feathered and winged mutant who doesn't know whether it is coming or going for all of Eternity even with its dozens of red eyes all aglow? I know I don't. I'm quite happy with the way I look--well ... I could use a few more inches in height and, ah, you know .... ( Visually pleasing comes to mind. Ahem! ) [ Hey! I'm talking about the "H" word here--no, not that. I am talking about "H" as in, more Handsome. Yeah, right .... ]
Just another thing to ponder on: According to a form of Astrology, when Jesus Christ was born, the Age of Aquarius ( i.e. Man ) began. Now, we are in the Age of Scorpio ( i.e. Eagle ); and as you well know, an eagle is a raptor ( and raptor is where the word, Rapture, comes from! ). The age before Aquarius was Taurus ( i.e. Bull )--remember how Moses was so pissed off at the Israelites for worshipping a golden statue of a bull ( Exodus 32:19 )? In the Age of Taurus, the Israelites dedicated their Temple using a Red Heifer and they sacrificed a lot of bulls. In the Age of Aquarius, they sacrificed ( i.e. crucified/martyred ) men. In the Age of Scorpio, those who sacrificed their lives in the service of God will be raptured. Remember, too, that in the last book of the Bible, The Book of Revelation, chapter 12, verse 14, a Raptor comes to the aid of the Woman being chased by the Dragon. These are the Zodiac signs that dominate mankind in the Judeo-Christian Tradition, in their order of appearance: Leo ( i.e. Lion ), Taurus, Aquarius and Scorpio ( Ezekiel 1:10 ). Scorpio is the strongest of them all and will rule over the rest of the signs in this, the 21st century, bringing with it revolution, death, and spiritual regeneration--research it for yourself and see. ( Here's a quote on the potency of Scorpio: "If the last Scorpio hot spot is any guide, some nuclear calamity due to aggression or accident may be around the corner, especially between 2010 and 2015." [ 'notice how 2012 neatly falls in-between the two--my note ] SCORPIO-THE SIGN OF THE TIMES-DEMYSTIFYING THE AQUARIAN AGE. Terry MacKinnell, copyright 2008 { it's on the internet--my note }. )
To Evangelical Christians, 2012 would mark the start of the Final Week ( 70th Week ) of Seven Years as mentioned in the Old Testament's Book of Daniel, chapter 9, verses 24 & 25. Do you notice how only 69 weeks are accounted for, which ended on Palm Sunday as mentioned in the Gospels? The Judeo-Christian concept of Divine Time is non-linear but, rather, fragmented to allow for the possibility of Divine Intervention through Divine Grace ( 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2, verse 7 of the Bible's New Testament; this talks about the work of the Holy Spirit in our time ) for the sake of the faithfuls' sincere sense of remorse and their pledge to amend their lives. The last rebuilding of the Jewish Temple will start the countdown for the 70th Week -- remember, we are just living on borrowed time, according to Bible Prophecy ( again, 2 Thessalonians 2:7 ). An obscure British document, circa 1901 A.D. , gave Jews the permission to return to Palestine/Israel, a British Protectorate. The year 1901 A.D. corresponds with Psalm 1 according to two Bible researchers interviewed on television some years back. What's the significance of this? Every Psalm from that point on corresponds to a year in history as it pertains to Jewish People! Read the Psalms and cross-reference them with 20th Century Jewish History and see for yourself whether or not this contention is true. Following this line of thought, 2012 corresponds with Psalm 112 ( read verses 8 & 10 ). If you add another seven years to this figure, you come upon 119 years; AND PSALM 119 IS THE ONLY PSALM WRITTEN IN ACROSTIC FORM!!!!!!! What is the relevance? It is the only Psalm written which goes through the whole letter-number system of the Jews so that Psalm 119 and the year associated with it, 2019, must be very pivotal and very monumentally important. Don't forget that God said in the Book of Genesis, chapter 6, verse 3, that His Spirit will not contend with mankind forever and that the age of mortal man will only be 120 years! So, in 120 years, i.e. by the year 2020, the vision for mankind's future will be very vague and/or grim ( "When I talk Peace, they want War." Psalm 120, verse 7 ). Yikes! As you can see, YES! even the Bible Prophets knew about 2012. So, there!
Of course, it is up to collective Humanity to decide what fate should befall us all, come 12-21-'12.
word of advice: If you want to know more about 2012, go to this website: http://churchofcriticalthinking.org. After you have read the information on all the subjects listed on this website, you will come away more knowledgeable about 12-21-2012 than the screenwriter/director of this disaster!
Just in case something globally bad were to happen on 12-21-2012, once all the stores have been looted through, the next best place to find some food is your local neighborhood Mormon home. Why? Because their religion requires Mormons to hoard food for just-in-case. ( Shh! you didn't hear this from me. Okay? ) And, by the way, I don't hoard food at my place, so leave me alone!
tidbits: On my way home from Fairfield, once I got to Vallejo, a sight next to the freeway which greeted me is a billboard for the 2012 movie, the one in which the giant Jesus Christ statue in Rio de Janeiro is toppling over except that its arms are still intact!
Instead of the grocery store, they should have used a jeans store. You know ... "Fall into the Gap." Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha--snort!
It's a safe bet that Joan Cusack was the first fatality in this movie even before her brother, John, got anywhere near her. ( This is an inside joke, folks. If you have to ask, you're not an insider. )
About a month ago, when I visited my friend, Hector, in Oakland, his son, Isma, told me that they already have a pirated copy of the 2012 movie and that we were going to watch it later on. The thought of being privileged enough to be able to see it and blog about it a month ahead of everyone else joyfully danced in my mind. Soon, we all proceeded to sit down to watch it. WTF?!?!?! The movie was 2012, DOOMSDAY, an Evangelical Christian interpretation of the global disaster replete with a decidedly Christian bent, bad script, bad acting and bad directing and which centers on an immaculately-conceived infant that has to be born inside a Mayan step pyramid at just the right time or else .... Whew! ( This just goes to show what happens when you buy an illegally-made DVD from some shady character. )
Speaking of Evangelical Christian, Bible Prophecy author Tim LaHaye was in Redwood City, CA's Grace Bible Church the last few days for a speaking engagement which was attended by one of my friends, Marcus ( Hector's oldest son ). The author said that in the next few weeks, World Leaders will convene in Copenhagen, Denmark, to set into motion the final stages for a One World Government wherein paper currency, i.e. "play money", will be made obsolete, as in: Mark of the Beast ( Dissenters will either be executed or kept prisoners in former military bases. New Testament's Book of Revelation, chapter 13, verses 16 & 17 ). Also, Mr. LaHaye made the claim that a Middle Eastern State has dispatched three of its nuclear submarines for a possible pre-emptive strike on a neighboring State ( you know which two ) which could very well set-off a "domino effect" of some unwelcome sort. Uh-oh ....
It's not a pretty picture that I painted for you this time, I know. But "forewarned is forearmed." Good luck to you and yours.
