so glad you guys watched this. Such an underrated film. A great follow up that also has Jon Cusack in it is Con Air with Nic Cage, and i swear to GOD!, if you don't watch Con Air, well.....then......erm...there's not really much i can do about it....but....just...trust me. Con Air, Face Off, The Rock, Armageddon, and Independence Day. in no particular order. these films have a vibe back then that i feel this flick managed to capture years later that hadn't been seen since those other flicks. and i really miss it. its like a Jerry Bruckheimer feel to the films even if they aren't Bruckheimer films. so you gotta check em out, or else......um....well, or else nothing. just trust me. i'd never steer you wrong. you guys are awesome
I still remember going home from school looking up at the sky to wait and see if there was a big tsunami approaching. The best natural disaster film for me.
I remember people actually being paranoid and worried about the end being near, so many conspiracies and theories were being thrown around. Yet we're still here, paying bills and working and s*** 😂
A missed opportunity of a scene they could've shot. NASA speaking to them 4 the last time. Maybe they did shoot something but being pressed 4 time, they had 2 cut it. I can't imagine the fear because after communication was lost, they'd believe they're stuck up there in space with no way of returning back to Earth & figuring out their survival in their new life essentially.
1:03:07 and 1:06:51 The reason the tsunami was able to breach the Himalayas was because the land itself is plummeting into the ocean rather than the ocean swooping across the mountains. Remember the earths crust is destabilizing rapidly and entire indochina plate is sliding into the ocean. Oh and in a deleted scene, the cruise ship and everyone one board survived 😊
@@kateofone The film clearly throws a lot of average logic and physics out of the window (and that scene would play as "if you didn't see it happen, it didn't happen" XD). But, in a general sense, a capsized ship still has buoyancy; if the wave carried on its front end, rather than pushing it down and flooding it, the ship, and people in it, can survive such conditions for a relative short period of time.
I love the destruction-fest the film is, but yeah... removing scenes like that of the ship and offing characters for shock value while not giving much of a consequence to the "we sold tickets to rich people and kicked out people who helped us design this plan" gives the film and overall grim sense that this new beginning of humanity is doomed XD. If they had left the ship scene, that would mean that humanity survived, in unplanned ways, in spite this elitist, almost eugenic, plan making up for the lack of vision, and greed, of politicians. But the scene was cut and the plot is stuck with what it shows.
Also, I love John Cusack, but Gordon didn't deserve that ending just for the sake of Jackson's family coming together. He genuinely loved the wife and the kids and was helping a lot in all this disaster.
the sooner you realize the ‘divorced dad’ stories are almost always written by someone who is bitter and divorced, the funnier that troupe becomes. it’s like comedians casting an extremely conventionally attractive love interest in a romcom that stars them
@@MacCheekz1990 Yes, I mean she "at least" was a cheater for the guy she was dating (for money), but I guess there were multiple characters in the movie that needed to have some kind of redemption...
@@pillowvibes yes. I mean in many stories the replacement dads are bad guys or idiots where it's questionable why the woman chose a guy like that, where the writers puts their perception into the replacement, but even when Gordon was a bit bitter the more they were getting together as a family, he really was a good guy and a good new dad, only dreaming about a new family, he didn't even steal the wife, simply met he later as I understood... He could've simply give up at the end and not die the most brutal death in the movie u_u
I remember I met my now wife at the end of 2012. Started to fall in love and was finally happy, only to be told “oh yeah, the world is ending this year.” I said “yeah, that does sound like my luck”
Imagine two Mayans back then talking. "Hey, I invented a new calendar that will last for many many centuries" "Only for centuries? What happens if the calendar ends? People could panic!" "Nah, people are smarter than that. They simply start the calendar again, don't worry"
Actually, the Mayan calendars were made sometime during the 5th century BCE, so about 2,500 years ago, give or take some decades. So the fact those calendars actually lasted for **Millennia,** is quite remarkable. The Mayan civilizations officially collapse around 900 A.D., so the calendar outlived the Mayan civilization by another 1100 years. That’s pretty astounding, especially since just 30 years ago, the common western belief was still that people were probably just getting to America around the 5th century BCE.
@@shanwyn Sure, but most people will hear “Many Centuries” and assume it’s less than 1,000. You know, because it’s only a mere “Many Centuries,” which is 500-900 years. Once you hit 1,000, it’s incorrect English to say “Many Centuries.” You should instead say “It has been a Millennium.” Therefore, you are not correct, because you are not using the English language the way it should be used. 2,500 years is “Multiple Millennia.” That’s how English works.
@@johnnyrocket1685yet I'm sure you pronounce "2,500" as "twenty-five hundred" and not "two thousand five hundred" And twenty-five hundred is 25x100, which means, if we're talking in years, many centuries, not millenia Silly goose.
I like to imagine the Mayan in charge of the calendar being like “Oh, we’re out of space on our calendar… well maybe we can let it that way, I don’t think it’ll be a big deal, they can make a new one when this one ends…”, then all of humanity freaking out years later because of this😂😂
Well, it wasn't a thing about "making a new one"; it was more like "after this date, return to the beginning of the whole thing, it's common sense"... Centuries later: "Common sense says it means the end of the world!!!" :P. It didn't help mayan writings were not understood until their glyphs were partially decoded around the decade of 1960 (even today, some existing glyphs and texts have not been fully decoded).
I remember hearing people sniffling and crying when I watched this in the cinema because as you guys said, it's during the time the world was supposed to be ending. This was a fun movie and nostalgic one at that.
In that movie they’re kind of denying and making fun of it like it wouldn’t happen. I think now, in 2024, approaching the next US presidential election, there’s probably a lot of people would who not deny it, but rather embrace it. People are done these days with how modern societies function. The internet has cooked the common western world’s brains to mush. I think both religious people and secular people would welcome a natural disaster like this; Wipe it all clean, give the world a fresh start. Maybe next time, humanity won’t be so terrible. But it’ll probably just remain a continuous cycle like it has for many thousands of years.
I half part mayan i for all that year a Lot of ⚪ people came and trying to "apologize". Like were in in the Vatican and some sht, plus they were missunderdanteing the priphecy (like they usually do with our myts)
I graduated high school in early 2012, and we were called "The Graduates of the Apocalypse". It was quite the interesting year growing up. XD My friends and I watched this film after the event, and we often joked "if, or when, we have kids, we'll show them this film and tell them we survived this".
Man I remember watching this movie when I was like 6 and started crying because I thought this was really gonna happen 😭😭 Nowadays this is still one of my fav disaster movies
@potterj09 what's funny and ironic is that in 2017, Woody played the lead role of Lyndon B. Johnson in LBJ, a movie about Johnson's transition to the presidency following J.F. Kennedy's murder. And of course, it has been suspected Johnson may have been involved
@@christopherlane5238 What is he supposed to lie? Not like hes making commercials and such promoting it. I only hear about him being vegan through comments like these. Seems other people bring it up more than himself.
whenever is see woody harelson i immediately think of the interview when he realised liam and chris hemsworth were brothers, you can see in real time when it just clicks in his mind.
Not-so-fun-facts: One, scientists have stated that the eruption of the Yellowstone caldera as depicted in this movie is far more optimistic than it would be in reality (it's estimated that an actual eruption today would be a thousand times worse than the movie shows). Two, considering Yellowstone went in the movie, there's a very real chance that other supervolcanoes did as well. Namely, Campi Phlegrei (the Phlegraean Fields of Italy), which are located not too far from Vesuvius and lie *directly under the city of Naples.*
If Yellowstone actually errupted it would probably be the end of the US as we know it. The state of Wyoming would just be gone and the ash cloud would eventually cover most if not all states.
That alt ending should have stayed in. It would show that any boat at sea had a chance... not a GOOD chance, but a chance. If the cruise liner had turned into the wave they would have been fine. Wet... but fine.
2012 was one of my favorite disaster movie, i had the chance to watch this movie in theaters, one of the craziest experience.. everybody was scared after watching this and it haunts people for months because how real they made it, will never forget those times..oh and the vfx still amazing to this day
My dad is friends with one the of special effects engineers on this film and she put her and her husbands initials on the Vatican when it was destroyed for a millisecond
The funny thing is, the Myan Callender only predicted the end of an Age of time. Not the end of the world. Everyone just took it as the end of the world. This was a great movie.
5:41 G8 summit I was one of the protestors. 42:30 I was also killed in the sandstorm in Vegas. 47:25 I died when the Vatican collapsed. I was paid for the New York Time Square scene but not used. 1:12:11 final scene...I survived. That's continuity in movies for you.
RIP James Earl Jones. He's with all the Lion Kings of the past, now. I'll always remember you in Conan the Barbarian, Lion King and forever as Lord Vader. May the force be with you.
Just FYI, while I love this movie, the bits about the neutrinos are wildly inaccurate: Particles don’t ‘mutate’. They don’t have DNA. Neutrinos CAN physically interact with regular matter, they just don’t normally do it often which is why our neutrino detectors are so large. If there were enough neutrino reactions happening to overheat the Earth’s core to the point of a total resurfacing of the planet, our atmosphere would likely have been stripped off in the process. Not to mention the event could very likely disrupt the rotation the Earth’s dynamo, changing or deleting our magnetosphere. When a star ‘explodes’ in a supernova, much of what pushes the star’s guts out into space is a massive burst of neutrinos. Think about that! Cheers guys!
Space is such a fascinating thing. We know just enough. So much more to learn! The scenario of neutrinos stripping our atmosphere somehow sounds even worse!
I remember that my friend and I started laughing out loud when he said that neutrinos were mutating, like wtf, they couldn't come up with something just a bit plausible 😂😂😂
Everything about this movie is wildly inaccurate and utterly preposterous. I love it! If you wanted a movie to demonstrate the meaning of "suspension of disbelief" this would be it. In one sense the mutation of neutrinos is not the worst example - since they can oscillate between different forms. Agreed - this is not mutation in the DNA sense but the word mutation can be used to describe the phenomenon. And yes - sufficient neutrinos to heat the core would strip the atmosphere and all life pretty quickly. It is not impossible despite the very rare interacctions. Neutrinos carry 99% of the energy of a supernova and production is increased by a huge factor. Neutrinos from a supernova within a few light years would destroy us. This may be before the accompnying electromagnetic radiation finishes the job. Althought they travel (just) slower than light in a vaccuum they can get here first as they are not as impeded by matter.
Oh, thats by far not the only inaccuracy of this movie. I hated it when it came out, I appreciate it by now and even rewatched it with friends who hadnt seen it before... but its still kind of a guilty pleasure for me. What still pisses me off every time is how the producers killed off the russian woman. She's in a compartment with closed bulkheads but the water still rises making her drown. To avoid that is the reason to built in seperate compartments with bulkheads. And those compartments were undamaged, the reason of the water coming in is the open gate at the back. OK, I see why the producers wanted to kill off that character, but there were countless better occasions to do that.
Greenland (and getting a sequel), San Andreas. Both (in my opinion) really good disaster movies - and way, way more plausible than this one at least :D
Thought The Wave (2015) and The Quake (2018), both Norwegian films, were pretty good. Not nearly effects driven as Hollywood movies, but good enough to not kill the movie. The Burning Sea (2021) is a spiritual successor, third movie to complete the trilogy. I haven't seen it yet to know if it's any good, but has around same approval ratings on IMDB.
Very excellent movie! In our real world, the Aztec calendar did NOT say the world was going to end on Dec.21,2012. It was only the end of a "long count" cycle (centuries). They just did not see the point of continuing it for centuries after this date. It would be similar to us saying the world will end on Dec,31, 2024. We always come up with a new calendar for the next year.
I love disaster movies so much! I watched this one in the cinema and it was so much fun. Sadly, these types of movies are underrated and hated often because people just overthink things too much. Disaster movies are to have fun with and maybe to find some enlightenment at times but people take them too seriously instead of just having fun with them! Hope you guys react to San Andreas. It makes no sense but it's fun 😂😂
I suggest you watch Knowing (2009), starring Nic Cage and Ben Mendelson. It's not as bombastic as this one, instead it adds mystery element to keep you engaged.
Well, technically it would happen overnight - but the lead up to it probably takes years or decades (or even more, since we don't actually know for sure yet).
Antonov (An-225) WAS the biggest plane in the world... Made in Ukraine, but only one was built... and it was hit in a Russian strike near the start of the war.
Not really true. It was made during Soviet Union by Antonov design bureau by a lead designer who was Russian. Its soviet russian plane inherited by Ukraine. Made in Ukraine only, everything else about it is russian.
@@Stockfish1511 "Soviet Union" was not a country. The plane was made in Ukraine, by Ukrainian hands, Ukrainian equipment and by a Ukrainian Company... but correct, the designer was a Russian who moved to Ukraine during the Soviet Union.
@@babalonkie The plane was built by a Russian (Oleg Konstantinovich Antonov) and only left behind and passed on Ukraine after the fall of USSR like many things including nukes and a vast military arsenal. And the plane destroyed by Ukrainians to avoid get captured by the Russian paras. Liar motherf*cker lol.
Fun fact: They were gonna make a spin-off series about how they rebuilt society after all this. It got cancelled unfortunately. I would’ve loved to see the aftermath.
When Time Ran Out...,The Towering Inferno, and Earthquake. These quintessential disaster movies of the mid 70's-1980's should be on your list to see how everything has changed 40 to 50 some odd yrs ago in film making.
@@johnmckinney5809 I think When Time Ran Out is underrated in the 70s disaster movies. It's a great cast and very dramatic. More oriented on the people than mass scale devastation.
12:19 When the Titanic was sinking the lower class was kept out of the loop while the financial elites were allowed to board the lifeboats first. The lower class were prevented from reaching the lifeboats until the very end. There are many points in the past where the rich took priority over the lower class, even during recent history.
That was disproven, 1. The lower decks were not notified as quickly as the upper decks because there was confusion among the porters 2. The lower decks had gates to separate the different sections of the ship for health reasons One being to prevent third class infected with lice or or disease from infecting the rest of the ship And these gates were normally locked after hours... It took the porters longer to get to the gates for third class
@@mckenzie.latham91 Yeah, and you must believe in the official narrative from NIST I presume? Don't get me started on the Covid Vaccine Scandal which is now being exposed as a money grab by pharmaceutical companies and that they lied about them being effective and safe. Wake up, dude!
@@mckenzie.latham91 And you truly believe the official narrative? Please do not tell me that you are that naive. I suppose you also believe the "official narrative" from a certain agency on a major event over 22 years ago?
@@joemacdonald6312 because rich people run this world. Rich people creates business, rich people are smarter (otherwise they won't be rich if they are not smart) rich people knows how to make big money, run company. Of course it's not fair for the poor because every human deserve to live. But that's just how life worked at that time. If you're useful, you get priviledges. If you are not, you will quickly be discarded.
her gasp at 48:43 gave me chills, one of my favorite scenes in the entire movie.... that isn't a horror movie. but the sheer hopelessness of the situation creeped me tf out
this reaction video was so good, I intentionally watched all the ads without skipping just to appreciate the work you guys put in, thoroughly entertaining and engaging. Big fan :)
i saw this in theaters when it released. it was wild to see some of these images on a big screen. the tsunami wiping out dc in the dark was one of the most terrifying visuals to see.
I honestly don’t think I’ve ever been this excited to have y’all watch something, this was my childhood. I was so hyped watching y’all watch it, I still love this movie!
I love how the government guy at the start you were worried would ignore everything like in Day After Tomorrow, but when he was on board immediately you liked him. Then over the course of the movie you grow to dislike him from his actions. Then the Russian billionaire you start off not really liking with how selfish he is, but in the end gives up his life for his kids. Some great character development in this movie. I remember liking it, but I think it got dunked on when it first came out, though I think that happens with a lot of doomsday movies. That then later get recognized as fun movies.
Here I've got a job exam after two days...and I'm watching this in the middle of the night. 😂 Btw, I've just discovered your channel and I enjoyed your reactions and discussions. Love from India.❣️🇮🇳
I actually went to see this movie in the theater when I was in middle school. One of the best experiences I've had at a movie theater. I can't believe how well the special effects and CGI have held up.
Don't know if anyone else has seen the alternate ending. The arks come across the cruise ship that didn't survive in the original. In the alternate ending, the cruise ship survived.
25:20 The timing of "that the worst is over." and then the San Andreas fault line saying "I'm end this man's whole career" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 If you two didn't know, the earthquake triggered the San Andreas fault and both 'wiped LA off the map'. The scene showing those chunks of what used to be part of LA sinking into the water was what I call 'falling into the ocean'. Anyway, I'm happy you two reacted to this! 2012 is my favorite disaster movie where you can just relax and enjoy the destruction that had no science or logic in it most of the time. It's amazingly inacriate and I love that. I personally see the destruction of LA scene as the most action-packed for several reasons lol
That also made me happy because that means that not just rich white people survived, which is the part of the movie takes me off pretty bad even though unfortunately that's probably how it would go IRL.
Great film. Glad you guys finally got around to reacting to this film. It's a great representation of how human society will react once everything goes to hell in hand basket. The rich and powerful will be saved while the rest of humanity is left to perish and witness the end of human civilization. I love how they incorporate the San Andreas Fault and the Yellowstone Caldera. Two very real and very serious dangerous that people aren't asking IF they'll go off.... BUT WHEN!
Oh my ... !!! It's quite a few years since I last saw this film, and watching it with you guys just brought back ALL the tension, fear and anxiety!!! A couple of times I actually yelped out loud and jumped back in my seat, LOL! Great reaction, as always - thanks.
Actually technically Antonov isn't Russian but Ukrainian but the founder started the company in Russia in Novosibirsk in 1946 . And yes the biggest plane is the Antonov-225.
Antonov was a Soviet, ethnic Russian designer. Ukraine inherited the company after the fall of USSR and they destroyed the plane to avoid let it be captured by the Russian paratroopers. Ukrainian propaganda is hilarious.
@@Stratigozokay a few fact checks 1. The Antonov Serial Production Plant where the plane was built Is located in Kyiv Ukraine, and the government of the Ukrainian SSR is credited alongside the Soviet Union as the commissioners meaning the plane was built in Ukraine, under the Ukrainian Soviet representatives, and thus is ethnically Ukrainian by every metric. 2. The plane was hit by a Russian air-Strike which is the official record
3:34 DUDE! I'm impressed at that random bit of Particle Physics that you just rattled off. Many wouldn't know what Neutrino's are, let alone their lack of interaction with anything else!
Back when I was still young like 6 or 7 years old, I still remember that I got really scared watching this movie months after it came out, thought it was real lol
@@OfficialMediaKnights It 100% terrified me, there are even some people handing handouts here in the Philippines that the world is literally ending that time HAHA, and yes, it's also so done well
As a huge Roland Emmerich Fan this movie was an absolute rollercoaster ride in the cinema, but I was absolutely confused by the hate this movie got by critics. Yes, the science behind the earth ending is complete rubbish, but even after 15 years the effects are still amazing. Back in the day I got really tired of defending this movie, so it's really nice, that after Hollywood has taken a bit of a dip in quality recently, it gets reappreciated. It is one of the first movies, where I have seen this switch in my personal lifetime, having only read about something like this happening before, like how Carpenter's "The Thing" being absolutely ripped to shreds by critics, now being one of the most well regarded horror movies of all time.
I remember watching this and thinking it was truly how the world would end lol. The hype around it made everyone feel the same way. You two are my favorite reaction channel, and I love how you break movies down, offering fresh insights and interpretations. Thank you always enjoy your reactions!
I've said it before and I'm saying it again. You guys are probably my current favorite reaction channel, I just get so hyped when you release a new video. If I had any disposable income, I'd totes consider joining the patreon. Keep up the great great work ❤❤❤
I remember the “end of the world” in 2012 😅 glad it didn’t all end back then! Another great disaster movie to react to would be San Andreas with the rock about the San Andreas fault in California
Definitely one of my favorite movies! I remember seeing this in IMAX and was so hyped and amazed by the production! Also in a deleted scene, the father and grandfather survived the cruise ship. It was intact on a rock in the alternate ending and was rescued by his son, the geologist. They just cut it out the theatrical release. Great vids! Love you guys and stay blessed!!! ✊🏽🙏🏽🔥❤️💯
I absolutely LOVE this movie! It's ridiculously over-the-top, and guess what? That's exactly what a disaster movie should be! It has a gorgeous soundtrack too. One thing I appreciate about Roland Emmerich is that yes, while the films and stories are over the top, he still manages to write entertaining and engaging characters. I always end up loving the different roles in his movies. Even his not-so-great ones. My favourite of Emmerich's movies remains Day After Tomorrow, however.
Thanks for the reaction. What I always thought is that Anheuser is here shown as a villain. Or at least villain-like. But I stand my ground that in the core he was right in many of his (planned) decisions. Ok, I also like Oliver Platt as an actor very much, but even so, I think in these kinds of scenarios unpopular decisions must be made. And he was mostly right...and you just can't save them all. He wasn't without fault and some decisions more than questionable of course.
I went to the cinema to see this movie in January 2010. I live in the most seismic country in the world, Chile, and in February we had an 8.8° earthquake. We have always had to deal with earthquakes and tsunamis, but that one stayed in my memory because of the deep underground noise before the earthquake. When I heard that horrible noise, I remembered this movie for the 2 eternal minutes that the earthquake lasted. I imagined the worst. Luckily, Chile has anti-seismic construction policies and quite a few people died, but it could have been worse. I hadn't seen this movie again until now. I'm glad it was with you. Best wishes! Hugs ❤
This is one of the movies I throw on in the background during chores or when I can't sleep. Seen it so many times because it's surprisingly entertaining.
I was lucky enough to go an see this at the cinema when it came out. I remember it fondly because it was the last time we went to the cinema as a family. Good Times :)
I am from india. When December 2012 came, i remember my drunkard uncle remembering this movie and felt f this sh!t and got completely wasted the entire month because he didn't want to die sober😂😂😂 My grandmother would beat his @$$ every night because he came home super drunk... It was so funny...
The only thing I hate about this movie is the Yellowstone eruption. If Yellowstone erupted it would’ve incinerated everyone in close proximity to it and instead this movie only gave us a gentle breeze in Amanda Peet’s hair. Yellowstone would’ve doomed the entire midwestern USA within hours.
R.I.P. James Earl Jones. The iconic voice behind Mufasa in 'The Lion King' and Dark Vader in 'Star Wars' movie. He make impact on pop culture and Disney.
This movie in my opinion, perfectly portrays of how Yellowstone Volcano can explode! Seriously, I know that this is a Super-Volcano, but if it really would've exploded one day, I can't imagine the explosion being more powerful than THIS! And that it apparently can destroy the whole world!
You guys really need to watch some older, classical disaster films. I highly recommend: -'The Poseidon Adventure' (1972), -'The Towering Inferno' (1974), -'Earthquake' (1974). Older movies that are great dramas as well as Disaster Movies are: -'A Night to Remember' (1958) -'The Last Voyage' (1960) -'Deluge' (1933) --- Fun fact, this movie was lost for several decades after several years only be rediscovered in 1981 dubbed in Italian before being restored and preserved The '90's also had gems such as -Daylight (1996) -Deep Impact (1998) -Dante's Peak (1997) --- Fun fact, this movie beat out Volcano (1997) for an award as they both came out around the same time but were both beaten by Titanic -Twister (1995) Other countries have also started making their own disaster films, such as Norway and South Korea, and the quality of is top notch: [Norway] --The Wave (2015) --The Quake (2018) [South Korea] --Tidal Wave (2009) --The Tower (2012) --Pandora (2016) --Ashfall (2019) [Japan] --Doomsday: The Sinking of Japan (2006)
The Antonov 225 _was_ the biggest plane in the world. Although built by Russia, Antonov became a Ukrainian company and the hanger containing this majestic queen of the skies was bombed during the first few days of the Ukraine war, destroying everything inside. 😢😭
I remember watching this movie at my friends house when I was around 8, and Gordon's death freaked me out so much that I couldn't sleep that night and had nightmares about it. Good movie
It's so wild hearing you guys talk about being a kid in 2012.. I was in my 20's hosting drag shows at the bar! I hosted an end of the world show 12-12-12 and we got so sloshed, I don't remember doing my last Kesha number that night.

I still remember going home from school looking up at the sky to wait and see if there was a big tsunami approaching. The best natural disaster film for me.

1:03:07 and 1:06:51 The reason the tsunami was able to breach the Himalayas was because the land itself is plummeting into the ocean rather than the ocean swooping across the mountains. Remember the earths crust is destabilizing rapidly and entire indochina plate is sliding into the ocean.
Oh and in a deleted scene, the cruise ship and everyone one board survived 😊
If the scene is deleted, then it is not canon. 😁
But how could they survive?
@@kateofone The film clearly throws a lot of average logic and physics out of the window (and that scene would play as "if you didn't see it happen, it didn't happen" XD). But, in a general sense, a capsized ship still has buoyancy; if the wave carried on its front end, rather than pushing it down and flooding it, the ship, and people in it, can survive such conditions for a relative short period of time.
I love the destruction-fest the film is, but yeah... removing scenes like that of the ship and offing characters for shock value while not giving much of a consequence to the "we sold tickets to rich people and kicked out people who helped us design this plan" gives the film and overall grim sense that this new beginning of humanity is doomed XD.
If they had left the ship scene, that would mean that humanity survived, in unplanned ways, in spite this elitist, almost eugenic, plan making up for the lack of vision, and greed, of politicians. But the scene was cut and the plot is stuck with what it shows.
@kateofone Especially those shown literally flying out of the ship.
Also, I love John Cusack, but Gordon didn't deserve that ending just for the sake of Jackson's family coming together. He genuinely loved the wife and the kids and was helping a lot in all this disaster.
Tamara's death was also pretty pointless
They forget about Gordon quick too. Lol. Bro was a huge reason they made it too.
the sooner you realize the ‘divorced dad’ stories are almost always written by someone who is bitter and divorced, the funnier that troupe becomes. it’s like comedians casting an extremely conventionally attractive love interest in a romcom that stars them
@@MacCheekz1990 Yes, I mean she "at least" was a cheater for the guy she was dating (for money), but I guess there were multiple characters in the movie that needed to have some kind of redemption...
@@pillowvibes yes. I mean in many stories the replacement dads are bad guys or idiots where it's questionable why the woman chose a guy like that, where the writers puts their perception into the replacement, but even when Gordon was a bit bitter the more they were getting together as a family, he really was a good guy and a good new dad, only dreaming about a new family, he didn't even steal the wife, simply met he later as I understood... He could've simply give up at the end and not die the most brutal death in the movie u_u
"Also love the wider shots they're giving us 'cause we get to see the entirety, like the full scale of HOLY SH*T!" - a perfect summary of the film😂
I remember I met my now wife at the end of 2012. Started to fall in love and was finally happy, only to be told “oh yeah, the world is ending this year.” I said “yeah, that does sound like my luck”
man idk u or your wife, but i hope u both have a great day cuz i laughed so hard in public over this comment.
@@dya-in1997 thanks man. I appreciate it. You have a good day too
Imagine two Mayans back then talking. "Hey, I invented a new calendar that will last for many many centuries" "Only for centuries? What happens if the calendar ends? People could panic!" "Nah, people are smarter than that. They simply start the calendar again, don't worry"
Reminds me of a comic
“I only had enough room to reach 2012”
“Ha, that’ll freak someone out someday.”
Actually, the Mayan calendars were made sometime during the 5th century BCE, so about 2,500 years ago, give or take some decades.
So the fact those calendars actually lasted for **Millennia,** is quite remarkable. The Mayan civilizations officially collapse around 900 A.D., so the calendar outlived the Mayan civilization by another 1100 years.
That’s pretty astounding, especially since just 30 years ago, the common western belief was still that people were probably just getting to America around the 5th century BCE.
@@johnnyrocket1685 2500 years? So my estimate was correct. Many Centuries LOL
@@shanwyn Sure, but most people will hear “Many Centuries” and assume it’s less than 1,000. You know, because it’s only a mere “Many Centuries,” which is 500-900 years.
Once you hit 1,000, it’s incorrect English to say “Many Centuries.” You should instead say “It has been a Millennium.”
Therefore, you are not correct, because you are not using the English language the way it should be used. 2,500 years is “Multiple Millennia.”
That’s how English works.
@@johnnyrocket1685yet I'm sure you pronounce "2,500" as "twenty-five hundred" and not "two thousand five hundred"
And twenty-five hundred is 25x100, which means, if we're talking in years, many centuries, not millenia
Silly goose.
"we get to see the full scale of HOLY SHIT....." i'm willing to bet that's exactly what Roland Emmerich was shooting for.
I like to imagine the Mayan in charge of the calendar being like “Oh, we’re out of space on our calendar… well maybe we can let it that way, I don’t think it’ll be a big deal, they can make a new one when this one ends…”, then all of humanity freaking out years later because of this😂😂
Well, it wasn't a thing about "making a new one"; it was more like "after this date, return to the beginning of the whole thing, it's common sense"... Centuries later: "Common sense says it means the end of the world!!!" :P.
It didn't help mayan writings were not understood until their glyphs were partially decoded around the decade of 1960 (even today, some existing glyphs and texts have not been fully decoded).
I remember hearing people sniffling and crying when I watched this in the cinema because as you guys said, it's during the time the world was supposed to be ending. This was a fun movie and nostalgic one at that.
Oh we can only imagine, there were many heartfelt moments in this that hit us right in the feels!
@@OfficialMediaKnights please react to Oppenheimer, Inception, Shutter Island and Arrival (2016) .
Don’t Look Up (2021) is also an EXCELLENT satirical disaster film about how the world would react to an incoming apocalypse
In that movie they’re kind of denying and making fun of it like it wouldn’t happen. I think now, in 2024, approaching the next US presidential election, there’s probably a lot of people would who not deny it, but rather embrace it.
People are done these days with how modern societies function. The internet has cooked the common western world’s brains to mush. I think both religious people and secular people would welcome a natural disaster like this;
Wipe it all clean, give the world a fresh start. Maybe next time, humanity won’t be so terrible. But it’ll probably just remain a continuous cycle like it has for many thousands of years.
Its funny how people actually thought that when 2012 happened the world was going to end.
We remember those times vividly ahah, the good old days 😂
Haha I remember crying 😂
And nothing happened lol
They believe it becausevof MAYA prophecy...that was the first time the prophecy doesnot work ...that why we all believed that
I half part mayan i for all that year a Lot of ⚪ people came and trying to "apologize". Like were in in the Vatican and some sht, plus they were missunderdanteing the priphecy (like they usually do with our myts)
I graduated high school in early 2012, and we were called "The Graduates of the Apocalypse". It was quite the interesting year growing up. XD
My friends and I watched this film after the event, and we often joked "if, or when, we have kids, we'll show them this film and tell them we survived this".
The graphics are amazing for a 2009 movie. The disasters look so realistic, we can even tell our kids we survived this..

Woody Harrelson has been a vegan for thirty years. It was his idea that Charlie would be munching on pickles as a vegan-friendly snack.
His dad is also on the top 5 for those who may have shot Kennedy.
Ah no wonder, what only veggies do to you
@potterj09 what's funny and ironic is that in 2017, Woody played the lead role of Lyndon B. Johnson in LBJ, a movie about Johnson's transition to the presidency following J.F. Kennedy's murder. And of course, it has been suspected Johnson may have been involved
The hardest part of being a vegan is keeping it to yourself.
@@christopherlane5238 What is he supposed to lie? Not like hes making commercials and such promoting it. I only hear about him being vegan through comments like these. Seems other people bring it up more than himself.

Not-so-fun-facts: One, scientists have stated that the eruption of the Yellowstone caldera as depicted in this movie is far more optimistic than it would be in reality (it's estimated that an actual eruption today would be a thousand times worse than the movie shows).
Two, considering Yellowstone went in the movie, there's a very real chance that other supervolcanoes did as well. Namely, Campi Phlegrei (the Phlegraean Fields of Italy), which are located not too far from Vesuvius and lie *directly under the city of Naples.*
If Yellowstone actually errupted it would probably be the end of the US as we know it. The state of Wyoming would just be gone and the ash cloud would eventually cover most if not all states.
Thankfully it's less likely than we thought @@MrHillBilly-j7f
You know there was actually a deleted/alternative ending of this movie, where it turned out that Harry and the whole ship managed to survive!
-And in the same alternate that creep Anhauser got his welldeserved punch in the face!
To me that’s the true ending.
I was just wondering why they didn’t show that part. That’s the original ending I saw.
That alt ending should have stayed in. It would show that any boat at sea had a chance... not a GOOD chance, but a chance. If the cruise liner had turned into the wave they would have been fine. Wet... but fine.
What, that's the first time I've heard of it. Now I have to look for it
2012 was one of my favorite disaster movie, i had the chance to watch this movie in theaters, one of the craziest experience.. everybody was scared after watching this and it haunts people for months because how real they made it, will never forget those times..oh and the vfx still amazing to this day
My dad is friends with one the of special effects engineers on this film and she put her and her husbands initials on the Vatican when it was destroyed for a millisecond
Very cool.
Poseidon Adventure is a must Towering Inferno. Both massive 70s movies and I loved them as a kid. Love u guys too. Love from the UK
about the Antonov plane, it was the longest plane in the world , the Antonov An-225 Mriya was destroy in ukraine on the russian invasion ...
They are planning to build/restore the plane. Hopefully we will see this mighty bird in the sky again.
The funny thing is, the Myan Callender only predicted the end of an Age of time. Not the end of the world. Everyone just took it as the end of the world.
This was a great movie.
There's talk about a pole shift/flip in our future so who knows what sort of shenanigans that will cause.
Either that, or they said “hey, we’ve made enough calendars for the next 600 years. I think we can stop now.”

What role did he play in this film...?
@@arkain1 No role. Can still honor the man for being such an iconic actor and voice.
The shot of LA sliding into the ocean is insane - I still remember the reaction in the theater.
Just FYI, while I love this movie, the bits about the neutrinos are wildly inaccurate:
Particles don’t ‘mutate’. They don’t have DNA.
Neutrinos CAN physically interact with regular matter, they just don’t normally do it often which is why our neutrino detectors are so large.
If there were enough neutrino reactions happening to overheat the Earth’s core to the point of a total resurfacing of the planet, our atmosphere would likely have been stripped off in the process. Not to mention the event could very likely disrupt the rotation the Earth’s dynamo, changing or deleting our magnetosphere.
When a star ‘explodes’ in a supernova, much of what pushes the star’s guts out into space is a massive burst of neutrinos. Think about that!
Cheers guys!
Space is such a fascinating thing. We know just enough. So much more to learn! The scenario of neutrinos stripping our atmosphere somehow sounds even worse!
I remember that my friend and I started laughing out loud when he said that neutrinos were mutating, like wtf, they couldn't come up with something just a bit plausible 😂😂😂
There's a lot of things with this movie that are wildy inaccurate. Just have to enjoy the ride :)
Everything about this movie is wildly inaccurate and utterly preposterous. I love it! If you wanted a movie to demonstrate the meaning of "suspension of disbelief" this would be it. In one sense the mutation of neutrinos is not the worst example - since they can oscillate between different forms. Agreed - this is not mutation in the DNA sense but the word mutation can be used to describe the phenomenon. And yes - sufficient neutrinos to heat the core would strip the atmosphere and all life pretty quickly. It is not impossible despite the very rare interacctions. Neutrinos carry 99% of the energy of a supernova and production is increased by a huge factor. Neutrinos from a supernova within a few light years would destroy us. This may be before the accompnying electromagnetic radiation finishes the job. Althought they travel (just) slower than light in a vaccuum they can get here first as they are not as impeded by matter.
Oh, thats by far not the only inaccuracy of this movie. I hated it when it came out, I appreciate it by now and even rewatched it with friends who hadnt seen it before... but its still kind of a guilty pleasure for me.
What still pisses me off every time is how the producers killed off the russian woman. She's in a compartment with closed bulkheads but the water still rises making her drown. To avoid that is the reason to built in seperate compartments with bulkheads. And those compartments were undamaged, the reason of the water coming in is the open gate at the back. OK, I see why the producers wanted to kill off that character, but there were countless better occasions to do that.
Now y'all need to hit Dante's Peak for the disaster film marathon, and Midway for the Emmerich roller coaster!

@@nebraskabecause lmao good one
@@nebraskabecause you just had to ruin the good vibe here with your hate.
I wish they ended up making the sequel
Thought The Wave (2015) and The Quake (2018), both Norwegian films, were pretty good. Not nearly effects driven as Hollywood movies, but good enough to not kill the movie.
The Burning Sea (2021) is a spiritual successor, third movie to complete the trilogy. I haven't seen it yet to know if it's any good, but has around same approval ratings on IMDB.
Very excellent movie! In our real world, the Aztec calendar did NOT say the world was going to end on Dec.21,2012. It was only the end of a "long count" cycle (centuries). They just did not see the point of continuing it for centuries after this date. It would be similar to us saying the world will end on Dec,31, 2024. We always come up with a new calendar for the next year.
I guess you mean the Mayan Calender?!
The yellowstone scene is one of my favourite diaster movie moments. Was just so epic.

I love disaster movies so much! I watched this one in the cinema and it was so much fun. Sadly, these types of movies are underrated and hated often because people just overthink things too much. Disaster movies are to have fun with and maybe to find some enlightenment at times but people take them too seriously instead of just having fun with them! Hope you guys react to San Andreas. It makes no sense but it's fun 😂😂
Collision Earth is fun. Quantum Apocalypse is also fun. There about on level with Armageddon, but I love “dumb” disaster flicks.
I suggest you watch Knowing (2009), starring Nic Cage and Ben Mendelson. It's not as bombastic as this one, instead it adds mystery element to keep you engaged.
I love the sound FX in this film.
The poles have flipped hundreds of times in Earth's history, but doesn't happen overnight.
Well, technically it would happen overnight - but the lead up to it probably takes years or decades (or even more, since we don't actually know for sure yet).
Love yall, your videos help me keep my anxiety at bay. Your virtual company is comforting and it is why I keep coming back.
Antonov (An-225) WAS the biggest plane in the world... Made in Ukraine, but only one was built... and it was hit in a Russian strike near the start of the war.
Makes sense, big target. But that sucks, thing is a marvel, would be cool to see it be rebuilt
Not really true. It was made during Soviet Union by Antonov design bureau by a lead designer who was Russian. Its soviet russian plane inherited by Ukraine. Made in Ukraine only, everything else about it is russian.
Only one completed there's a second fuselage if I remember right
@@Stockfish1511 "Soviet Union" was not a country.
The plane was made in Ukraine, by Ukrainian hands, Ukrainian equipment and by a Ukrainian Company... but correct, the designer was a Russian who moved to Ukraine during the Soviet Union.
@@babalonkie The plane was built by a Russian (Oleg Konstantinovich Antonov) and only left behind and passed on Ukraine after the fall of USSR like many things including nukes and a vast military arsenal. And the plane destroyed by Ukrainians to avoid get captured by the Russian paras. Liar motherf*cker lol.
Fun fact: They were gonna make a spin-off series about how they rebuilt society after all this. It got cancelled unfortunately. I would’ve loved to see the aftermath.
When Time Ran Out...,The Towering Inferno, and Earthquake. These quintessential disaster movies of the mid 70's-1980's should be on your list to see how everything has changed 40 to 50 some odd yrs ago in film making.

And The Poseidon Adventure, too. Towering Inferno is one of my very favourite movies.
@@johnmckinney5809 I think When Time Ran Out is underrated in the 70s disaster movies. It's a great cast and very dramatic. More oriented on the people than mass scale devastation.
@misabissett2000 well, hopefully they'll go back into the movie vault and check out these classics.
12:19 When the Titanic was sinking the lower class was kept out of the loop while the financial elites were allowed to board the lifeboats first. The lower class were prevented from reaching the lifeboats until the very end. There are many points in the past where the rich took priority over the lower class, even during recent history.
which is why i hate most humans.
That was disproven,
1. The lower decks were not notified as quickly as the upper decks because there was confusion among the porters
2. The lower decks had gates to separate the different sections of the ship for health reasons
One being to prevent third class infected with lice or or disease from infecting the rest of the ship
And these gates were normally locked after hours...
It took the porters longer to get to the gates for third class

I love how the government guy at the start you were worried would ignore everything like in Day After Tomorrow, but when he was on board immediately you liked him. Then over the course of the movie you grow to dislike him from his actions.
Then the Russian billionaire you start off not really liking with how selfish he is, but in the end gives up his life for his kids.
Some great character development in this movie. I remember liking it, but I think it got dunked on when it first came out, though I think that happens with a lot of doomsday movies. That then later get recognized as fun movies.

I actually went to see this movie in the theater when I was in middle school. One of the best experiences I've had at a movie theater. I can't believe how well the special effects and CGI have held up.
Don't know if anyone else has seen the alternate ending. The arks come across the cruise ship that didn't survive in the original. In the alternate ending, the cruise ship survived.
25:20 The timing of "that the worst is over." and then the San Andreas fault line saying "I'm end this man's whole career" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you two didn't know, the earthquake triggered the San Andreas fault and both 'wiped LA off the map'. The scene showing those chunks of what used to be part of LA sinking into the water was what I call 'falling into the ocean'. Anyway, I'm happy you two reacted to this! 2012 is my favorite disaster movie where you can just relax and enjoy the destruction that had no science or logic in it most of the time. It's amazingly inacriate and I love that. I personally see the destruction of LA scene as the most action-packed for several reasons lol
I love how they ended up in Africa. The birthplace of life.
Also because it doesn't mean that only which right people survived in the movie which is what ticked me off the most I think.
That also made me happy because that means that not just rich white people survived, which is the part of the movie takes me off pretty bad even though unfortunately that's probably how it would go IRL.
Great film. Glad you guys finally got around to reacting to this film. It's a great representation of how human society will react once everything goes to hell in hand basket. The rich and powerful will be saved while the rest of humanity is left to perish and witness the end of human civilization. I love how they incorporate the San Andreas Fault and the Yellowstone Caldera. Two very real and very serious dangerous that people aren't asking IF they'll go off.... BUT WHEN!
Oh my ... !!! It's quite a few years since I last saw this film, and watching it with you guys just brought back ALL the tension, fear and anxiety!!! A couple of times I actually yelped out loud and jumped back in my seat, LOL! Great reaction, as always - thanks.
Actually technically Antonov isn't Russian but Ukrainian but the founder started the company in Russia in Novosibirsk in 1946 . And yes the biggest plane is the Antonov-225.
Antonov was a Soviet, ethnic Russian designer. Ukraine inherited the company after the fall of USSR and they destroyed the plane to avoid let it be captured by the Russian paratroopers. Ukrainian propaganda is hilarious.
Was...it's been destroyed in the war.
@@Stratigozokay a few fact checks
1. The Antonov Serial Production Plant where the plane was built
Is located in Kyiv Ukraine, and the government of the Ukrainian SSR is credited alongside the Soviet Union as the commissioners
meaning the plane was built in Ukraine, under the Ukrainian Soviet representatives,
and thus is ethnically Ukrainian by every metric.
2. The plane was hit by a Russian air-Strike which is the official record

As a huge Roland Emmerich Fan this movie was an absolute rollercoaster ride in the cinema, but I was absolutely confused by the hate this movie got by critics. Yes, the science behind the earth ending is complete rubbish, but even after 15 years the effects are still amazing. Back in the day I got really tired of defending this movie, so it's really nice, that after Hollywood has taken a bit of a dip in quality recently, it gets reappreciated.
It is one of the first movies, where I have seen this switch in my personal lifetime, having only read about something like this happening before, like how Carpenter's "The Thing" being absolutely ripped to shreds by critics, now being one of the most well regarded horror movies of all time.
Everything about this movie is terrible, except for the CGI.

It was intact on a rock in the alternate ending and was rescued by his son, the geologist. They just cut it out the theatrical release. Great vids! Love you guys and stay blessed!!! ✊🏽🙏🏽🔥❤️💯
I absolutely LOVE this movie!
It's ridiculously over-the-top, and guess what? That's exactly what a disaster movie should be!
It has a gorgeous soundtrack too.
One thing I appreciate about Roland Emmerich is that yes, while the films and stories are over the top, he still manages to write entertaining and engaging characters. I always end up loving the different roles in his movies. Even his not-so-great ones.
My favourite of Emmerich's movies remains Day After Tomorrow, however.
This is one of my all time favourite disaster movies.
Thanks for the reaction. What I always thought is that Anheuser is here shown as a villain. Or at least villain-like. But I stand my ground that in the core he was right in many of his (planned) decisions. Ok, I also like Oliver Platt as an actor very much, but even so, I think in these kinds of scenarios unpopular decisions must be made. And he was mostly right...and you just can't save them all. He wasn't without fault and some decisions more than questionable of course.
I went to the cinema to see this movie in January 2010. I live in the most seismic country in the world, Chile, and in February we had an 8.8° earthquake. We have always had to deal with earthquakes and tsunamis, but that one stayed in my memory because of the deep underground noise before the earthquake. When I heard that horrible noise, I remembered this movie for the 2 eternal minutes that the earthquake lasted. I imagined the worst. Luckily, Chile has anti-seismic construction policies and quite a few people died, but it could have been worse. I hadn't seen this movie again until now. I'm glad it was with you. Best wishes! Hugs ❤
Oh they’re gonna land in the water? What’s the plan after that?
Swimming 😂😂😂
"Get back with the other green cards or I'll have you detained."
Since the only place to detain me is on the Ark... okay, yes please.😂

This is one of the movies I throw on in the background during chores or when I can't sleep. Seen it so many times because it's surprisingly entertaining.
The Core! One of the best end of times films.

I was lucky enough to go an see this at the cinema when it came out. I remember it fondly because it was the last time we went to the cinema as a family. Good Times :)
I am from india. When December 2012 came, i remember my drunkard uncle remembering this movie and felt f this sh!t and got completely wasted the entire month because he didn't want to die sober😂😂😂
My grandmother would beat his @$$ every night because he came home super drunk... It was so funny...
The only thing I hate about this movie is the Yellowstone eruption. If Yellowstone erupted it would’ve incinerated everyone in close proximity to it and instead this movie only gave us a gentle breeze in Amanda Peet’s hair. Yellowstone would’ve doomed the entire midwestern USA within hours.
It is a little unusual to see a disaster movie understate the impact of something. Usually it's vastly the opposite.
But if they had depicted Yellowstone realistically, think of the great scene that John Cusack would’ve been deprived of!
And Amanda Peet’s hair did look fabulous 😂😂
@@itsjuliescottyay True
@@itsjuliescottyay Also true.
R.I.P. James Earl Jones. The iconic voice behind Mufasa in 'The Lion King' and Dark Vader in 'Star Wars' movie. He make impact on pop culture and Disney.
What role did he play in this film...?
He wasn’t in this film.
So random
who cares lil bro
@@mrhamisgood1 Well, RIP regardless.
This movie in my opinion, perfectly portrays of how Yellowstone Volcano can explode!
Seriously, I know that this is a Super-Volcano, but if it really would've exploded one day, I can't imagine the explosion being more powerful than THIS! And that it apparently can destroy the whole world!
Not destroy the world, but it definitely will be a climate-changing event.
You guys really need to watch some older, classical disaster films. I highly recommend:
-'The Poseidon Adventure' (1972),
-'The Towering Inferno' (1974),
-'Earthquake' (1974).
Older movies that are great dramas as well as Disaster Movies are:
-'A Night to Remember' (1958)
-'The Last Voyage' (1960)
-'Deluge' (1933) --- Fun fact, this movie was lost for several decades after several years only be rediscovered in 1981 dubbed in Italian before being restored and preserved
The '90's also had gems such as
-Daylight (1996)
-Deep Impact (1998)
-Dante's Peak (1997) --- Fun fact, this movie beat out Volcano (1997) for an award as they both came out around the same time but were both beaten by Titanic
-Twister (1995)
Other countries have also started making their own disaster films, such as Norway and South Korea, and the quality of is top notch:
[Norway]
--The Wave (2015)
--The Quake (2018)
[South Korea]
--Tidal Wave (2009)
--The Tower (2012)
--Pandora (2016)
--Ashfall (2019)
[Japan]
--Doomsday: The Sinking of Japan (2006)
"get your watch back"😂

The Antonov 225 _was_ the biggest plane in the world. Although built by Russia, Antonov became a Ukrainian company and the hanger containing this majestic queen of the skies was bombed during the first few days of the Ukraine war, destroying everything inside. 😢😭
I remember watching this movie at my friends house when I was around 8, and Gordon's death freaked me out so much that I couldn't sleep that night and had nightmares about it. Good movie
My fav director Roland Emmerich - The Master of Disaster ❤
If not already suggested, I feel like Deep Impact from 1998 would be a great choice to watch...
It's so wild hearing you guys talk about being a kid in 2012.. I was in my 20's hosting drag shows at the bar! I hosted an end of the world show 12-12-12 and we got so sloshed, I don't remember doing my last Kesha number that night.
I'll be making recommendations often...here's today's movie recommendation: Super 8 (2011)
Excited to check that one out! 😃
