@@LouSassoleSledgecock_III I guess they mean a life where you die peacefully in your sleep, purely going by the average human life span of 70-something years.
This is one of my favorite scenes in the movie. Satnam not getting picked up was hearbreaking. And when Helmsley says Satnam didn't get picked up and the other guy says "What?" in just pure shock. And then that moment when the man turns to check out the coutdown clock, that is a great visual! The way he turns to the camera and then walks forward is such a good cinema moment.
Always decent people who get screwed. The one's who do their best and have humility get glossed over. When Adrian talks about getting 10 people in his cabin, it sorta reminds me of the scene when Schindler takes off his party badge and says that could have equalled more lives. Sometimes less really is more
Every single person on those arks owes Satnam their lives; if he hadn't called Adrian and warned him about the tidal wave, the arks would have been caught unprepared, and it's very likely that no one would have survived the resulting impact. So when you think about it, Satnam ended up saving the human race from extinction!
@@sirgs5662They did lots of good things for the human race but centuries of interracial marriages diluted the genes that made them great contributors in the first place
Satnam's family scene lives rent free in my mind, it's so sad. He did so much to save others, and when it came for him to be saved, he was just one of the forgotten masses. That part makes it super realistic, and he and his family quietly facing death with dignity is very human.
@@MassimoCalderaro-u8hThey were saying that is Mount Everest (The highest mountain on Planet Earth) meaning that the wave is higher then all of mountains on the planet. They were agreeing with you that it is ominous it is so large.
TBF they definitely didn't intend for the arks to be long-term on their own anyway since you see that they are immediately heading towards an island at the end of the movie but still. Somebody is going to have to be willing to build any new infrastructure afterwards
All the billionaires will certainly be willing to put in the work to survive and rebuild I’m sure! After all their work ethic is billions of times greater than the average person. They’re definitely not useless leeches or anything like that
That, and then they fail to realize they don't have the necessary manpower and qualified people to build new buildings for a new civilization. That's the problem with prioritizing the rich, very few of them are capable of actually doing some of the most important jobs despite the fact they have the money for that type of knowledge.
The fact that the bedrooms/rooms could fit more than 2 or so people is mindblowing to me. Ik that it would be crowded and what not, but you should want to invite the workers and other people of professions like doctors, engineers, farmers, scientists, etc onto the ship to further “ensure the continuity of your species”. Like make it make sense people 🤣
Brave of you to assume that the leaders of the world and the rich fucks give a rats ass about our species. They just want to save their asses. The smart people they take are simply there to keep tech and science going for their benefit.
I mean the physical space isn't the bottle neck. The real bottle neck is the capacity for long term food requirements. It's both unnecessarily cruel and outright dangerous to the success of the mission to save more people than you can feed from the initial destruction. If you can house and feed X number of people but you save 2X people then you end up with a struggle for resources that leaves a lot less than just 1 X alive.
It’s actually fcked that Satnam was left behind but truthfully that’s exactly what would happen in a real life situation. The little people will be left behind while the rich and the nepo babies will live
I agree, finally seeing a comment talking the reality of an event like this, it's sad as shit but NO DOUBT that the people picked up would just be the rich
It's perverted that the only people who were intended to be saved were those in the highest level of government and the wealthiest people in the world. It shouldn't be so surprising as they have always viewed the general population as being effectively "surplus labor", if they were even that generous.
@@qdllc I wouldn't choose the wealthiest. They have little value, ironically. I would choose a cross section of scientists, engineers, artists, farmers, doctors and so forth. After the essence of human knowledge has been secured, I would save random people from everyday life. Those that are merely "rich" can try and pay off the elements for mercy.
@@wanderer3004 - True, but as they said, they needed the billions from the wealthy to pull it off. In reality, the odds of you, me or 99% of the human race being chosen for some “preserve humanity” plan is pretty much zero.
@@wanderer3004 One problem tho: How would you fund it then? They mentioned it here, the arks wouldn´t have been possible without massive funds from the private sector. And those people wouldn´t have payed, if they wouldn´t even get a place on the ships. While it´s cruel, it´s also pragmatic.
@@hunterspride18 When you see how people all over the world are trying to survive this extinction event and how everything you have ever cared about means nothing anymore that is very sad and horrific. And yeah ofc it has some comedy moments but the movie takes itself serious.
With everything happening so fast, there wasn't a whole lot of time to get all of the ticket holders for the arks. Especially with the Earth Crust Displacement happening.

Anheuser is operating with a rational mind, which is what you'd need here. Nobody was being evil in this movie. It was all too chaotic to rescue everyone. Anheuser is the right guy to have for this
Most people only think survival in a situation like this.... But I wonder..... What happened to those that survive? Imagine the world that's left behind.... Is it a world you would WANT to live in?
the wave is being pushed inland. if the elevation goes up the water goes up, as long as it has enough energy to get there. think of it like rolling a ball up a hill. the hill is taller than the ball, but the ball goes up for a bit (water comes in) until it runs out of energy and then rolls back down (water recedes).
And the idea that as the water is being pushed upbthe co tonent is shifting beneath it and sinking down. The whole reason the wave came in at all is the land was collapsing. Much like the California coast sank and then literally flipped over as the mantle beneath it collapsed. In the end of the movie the o ly land remaining above the waterline was the horn of Africa, as it had been shoved up in displacement by the sinking of the surrounding continental shelf.
At the time this movie was released (2009), I thought that Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip would have stayed behind and sent William and Harry instead to ensure the continuation of the bloodline. I still get pissed that Satnam and his family didn't get picked up!
I’m assuming William and Harry were there too, just not shown. Also irl if this happened I think you’d be right that Elizabeth would stay behind and send William and his children instead.

I really can't hate Carl here. The scientists gave him bad data about the timeline at every possible step of the way leading up to this. Every last one.
The part about "selling tickets" infuriates me. Were this end-of-days scenario to actually take place, those people would serve ZERO purpose in the reconstruction except as parasites just as they are now. It would be morally correct to say "Thank you for your money, but we are not honoring those tickets."
@@pettypractice7872 Honor? You're going to speak of honor when talking of people whose extravagant wealth hinges on their ability to rent-seek and practice usury on people who actually do the labor? Seriously?
The executive might seem heartless, but he´s actually only pragmatic, as cruel as it sounds. Had they not sold tickets, no one would have survived, because the arks wouldn´t have been able to be built.
@@truckercowboyed2638 I was talking about the after though, sure they paid, but now what do they expect? Most of them probably don't have any skills that would be useful in rebuilding society.
5:41 idc what anyone says about this movie , but moments like these , is what makes this movie pretty sad :,( enjoyed this movie when it came out enjoy it still !!
those who used wealth and political power to get on board would most likely become the lowest ranks after the disaster has passed. Their money and power will mean nothing in a world that no longer has an economy or government and needs to be rebuilt from scratch. I'd imagine the armed forces will take control (and won't stay loyal to the people who were willing to selfishly sacrifice those deemed beneath them) and prioritize those who will actually aid in post-apocalyptic survival.
@@saintbernard2786 Again tho that's completely u realistic and no amount of water on this planet will ever reach the height of the Himalayans let alone the East coast of the U.S.
@darthkillerhog Actually mega tsunamis like that can happen and has actually happened Lituya Bay, Alaska 1958. The tsunami was over 1700ft and is the largest tsunami ever recorded which was caused my 7.7 earthquake.
I like this movie because a lot of things, most things, are going wrong, in the crisis Plenty of people are making mistakes, others are selfish, others play high and mighty That's usually how stuff goes down. The screenplay is very realistic.
Há um erro no mesmo Filme antes dessa cena foi dito que todas as Comunicações foram interrompidas então com Satnam conseguiu ligar para seu amigo Adrian.
@@ashajacob8362 You fail to understand. No matter how big any nation is (in GDP, population, land area, technology) its ability to absorb the catastrophic events of that scale are close to nil. If the catastrophe of a scale of this movie (2012) happened you would have another extinction event and if any life would survive that there would be no trace of human civilisation not to mention a specific country. But we do not need an extinction event - India is already experiencing record temperatures and due to the fact that this and coming generation will not do anything serious about climate change at the break of this century life on the subcontinent will be much more difficult and conditions harsher. Will there be an Indian nation when people start migrating en masse - or will some of the less affected (northern provincies) decide against letting them in (I can easily see people decrying 'Muslim invasion' or 'Hindu invasion') ? I will not see it - I am too old. It is not only about India - but just as an example.
i saw a comment that explained why the wave is as high as it is (i can’t remember i’m detail ) but essentially it’s not a wave but an entire ocean that’s been moved
Being erased by the natural disasters here seems a lot better than trying to subsist in a society composed almost in is entirety by military, politicians and rich folks. Great sacrifices would need to be made for society to prosper afterwards.... and none of them will want to shed their sweat and blood for that, that is for sure.
@jaasonmiller She absolutely would have and Philip too. She would have made sure her grandchildren were saved, but just based on her age she wouldn't have opted for survival when basically the entire population of her country was going to die. She took her role very seriously and she would have gone down with the ship. Having said that, most people over a certain age would do the same.
The interesting question is, who is in the better place in the end. The people who made their peace and died, or the "survivors" struggling for survival with the little of what's left of a habitable world on board an iron coffin? Not an easy answer...
like many people who watched 2012, i am so annoyed by the fact that essential people like scientists, engineers, hell even carpenters and plumbers, were never considered for the Arks. All the seats were given to old rich people and their families. Who's gonna rebuild the world after the waters recede and they have to leave the Arks? All the people that had the qualifications to do it are dead.
This movie is symbolic of what's coming. It will be an economic deluge, and the government and the elite will survive it with their lives intact. Everyone else will be wiped out and must conform to what will rise.
A lot of cellphones use GPS and satellites so long as they're functioning you could technically call although it would have a lot of interference from the crust breaking up and disrupting the poles and magneticfields during the pole shift ...
7:07 I understand that the Government in this movie isn’t good at calculations, but come on! How did you not see that another wave was going to hit way earlier than the first wave?!
How ever flawed the Idea of an ark is, makers of this one didn't get it at all. Most on board would hardly be able to take care of themselves. The one's who could build a World, were let go.
In the end of the world you don't need a rich guy, a politician or an engineer. You need a farmer, a guy who can build a house or a guy who can hunt and find food
I think there's a misconception here, and it's not really explained that well in the movie either. The rich people who payed 1 Billion € per ticket are only in some of the arks (I'd guess the ones with the spacious rooms and all the comforts, like the one Adrian is in). Their money allowed the construction of a bunch more arks so that "normal" people with meaningful jobs/knowledge (but not that much money) could be selected/extracted and saved as well. If they didn't take this approach the plan wouldn't have been sustainable. So, in a way, the rich people that Adrian sarcastically accused of buying their way into the arks... effectively made it possible to save everyone else, Adrian included. And in return they (quite rightfully I might add) got tickets for themselves and whoever they payed for.
Theres no way that wave would be up that high to engulf the Himalayas. There isnt enough water, and if there was, it would fall into the earth when the earth plates began collapsing and folding on itself.
4:55 that scene was insane... water was pushing the damn clouds out the way.. nothing to do there but climb into a sealed air bag & hope for the best.. those Horns are Always so ominous.. if you ever hear those air raid sirens and theres no war.. kiss your ass good bye

The part about "selling tickets" infuriates me.
Were this end-of-days scenario to actually take place, those people would serve ZERO purpose in the reconstruction except as parasites just as they are now. It would be morally correct to say "Thank you for your money, but we are not honoring those tickets."
So you think that kind of dishonor right off the bat is conducive to rebuilding society?
@@pettypractice7872 Honor?
You're going to speak of honor when talking of people whose extravagant wealth hinges on their ability to rent-seek and practice usury on people who actually do the labor? Seriously?
The executive might seem heartless, but he´s actually only pragmatic, as cruel as it sounds. Had they not sold tickets, no one would have survived, because the arks wouldn´t have been able to be built.
Strange how money mattered in the end anyway
Amen
In reality one yearly us defense budget wouldve covered the cost of all these arks and then some.
I don't think you care of money when your about to die
He was heartless
It always blew my mind that they saved the rich, who do they think is going to do the manual labor going forward when all the workforce is gone.
Who do you think funded the building of the arks in the first place???
@@truckercowboyed2638AMEN TO THAT Bro
@@truckercowboyed2638 I was talking about the after though, sure they paid, but now what do they expect? Most of them probably don't have any skills that would be useful in rebuilding society.
@@truckercowboyed2638okay they are saved so who is gonna do the labour work to rebuild civilisation?
5:41 idc what anyone says about this movie , but moments like these , is what makes this movie pretty sad :,( enjoyed this movie when it came out enjoy it still !!
those who used wealth and political power to get on board would most likely become the lowest ranks after the disaster has passed. Their money and power will mean nothing in a world that no longer has an economy or government and needs to be rebuilt from scratch. I'd imagine the armed forces will take control (and won't stay loyal to the people who were willing to selfishly sacrifice those deemed beneath them) and prioritize those who will actually aid in post-apocalyptic survival.
I love the bit where they seen the queen in her purple dress and hat and her dogs!!! 😂😂😂
Can’t believe we survive that.
Sad movie remanid me the elite of the n.w.o
Love Dr Charles
I watched this when I was a kid and it traumatised me
I’m terrified of the ocean
If you're scares of unrealistic wave proportions u got other problems
@@darthkillerhog oh I got plenty of problems. But a big ass wall of water just ready to sink you. Whew I’m not ready
@@saintbernard2786 Again tho that's completely u realistic and no amount of water on this planet will ever reach the height of the Himalayans let alone the East coast of the U.S.
@@darthkillerhog you too deep for me
@darthkillerhog Actually mega tsunamis like that can happen and has actually happened Lituya Bay, Alaska 1958. The tsunami was over 1700ft and is the largest tsunami ever recorded which was caused my 7.7 earthquake.
Movie should’ve been called the rich wipe out the poor lol
Then it wouldn't be a work of fiction
The project manager or acting head of state ia the good guy; you guys must understand. He got the project done.
but you still aint going on the ark
Good action movie I thought. I mean it's not like peak cinema but is good for an enjoyable afternoon watch every couple years.
So in this movie the baddies live and the goodies die, is that correct?
I like this movie because a lot of things, most things, are going wrong, in the crisis
Plenty of people are making mistakes, others are selfish, others play high and mighty
That's usually how stuff goes down. The screenplay is very realistic.
Adjust the countdown:
> do calculations
> Write an additional script that slowly adjusts the countdown to the new result
QUICK! Pull out the camera. CAMERAMEN NEVER DIE!
This is Avatar the Last Air Bender, but the Fire Nation are the good guys while Water and Earth decided to go rogue
Ummm there was a scene where a volcano devoured a whole ass city and tornado that swept half of LA so none of the nations are a saint here
@@HouzaRahouzaLavabending is actually a kind of Earthbending, not Firebending
Há um erro no mesmo Filme antes dessa cena foi dito que todas as Comunicações foram interrompidas então com Satnam conseguiu ligar para seu amigo Adrian.
if satnam was picked up, it may have been too late for people to know of the Eastern Tsunami, so in a way it was good that he was left behind.
I think the most surprising part of the movie now is that Cell Phone communications were still up.
Every time i watch this movie i get goosebumps
We Indians can relate to Santnam's scene. We will die in the same way, if anything like this happens.
Lol nothing a tsunami of that size is pretty impossible it's just a movie India is a big nation
@@ashajacob8362 You fail to understand.
No matter how big any nation is (in GDP, population, land area, technology) its ability to absorb the catastrophic events of that scale are close to nil. If the catastrophe of a scale of this movie (2012) happened you would have another extinction event and if any life would survive that there would be no trace of human civilisation not to mention a specific country.
But we do not need an extinction event - India is already experiencing record temperatures and due to the fact that this and coming generation will not do anything serious about climate change at the break of this century life on the subcontinent will be much more difficult and conditions harsher. Will there be an Indian nation when people start migrating en masse - or will some of the less affected (northern provincies) decide against letting them in (I can easily see people decrying 'Muslim invasion' or 'Hindu invasion') ? I will not see it - I am too old.
It is not only about India - but just as an example.
i saw a comment that explained why the wave is as high as it is (i can’t remember i’m detail ) but essentially it’s not a wave but an entire ocean that’s been moved
Being erased by the natural disasters here seems a lot better than trying to subsist in a society composed almost in is entirety by military, politicians and rich folks. Great sacrifices would need to be made for society to prosper afterwards.... and none of them will want to shed their sweat and blood for that, that is for sure.
The writer of this movie obviously didn't know very much about the Queen. If this happened, she would have stayed behind with the rest of us.
Oh sweetie… no she wouldn’t 😂
@@jaasonmilleroh sweetie the princes served in the war for your country. Which I doubt you did
@jaasonmiller She absolutely would have and Philip too. She would have made sure her grandchildren were saved, but just based on her age she wouldn't have opted for survival when basically the entire population of her country was going to die. She took her role very seriously and she would have gone down with the ship. Having said that, most people over a certain age would do the same.
Totally! She told me the same thing.
That thief lady would have left you guys 😂😂😂
The fact that they let queen Elizabeth on knowing well that she is like in her 80s at the time, and also let her bring her corgis is just crazy
with a mass of water this size are they drowning or just getting crushed straight away from debris and/or pressure?
At least it's quick
It's crushed, since water is so heavy, your bones immediately crush and your body turns into a pancake, literally
Crushed
4:58 What could have caused such a tsunami?
What the movie. It tells you
The entirety of the ocean shifting around the world. I know, it's crazy.
Nows that's what I call a bunker ....... !!!!!
🤓😲🤯
5:00 the tsunami is as high as the clouds😶
Gonna tell my kids I survived all this and was inside the arcs
2012 Tsunami India but with The Sorcerer And The White Snake 2011 OST Promise make it 5:48
The interesting question is, who is in the better place in the end. The people who made their peace and died, or the "survivors" struggling for survival with the little of what's left of a habitable world on board an iron coffin? Not an easy answer...
like many people who watched 2012, i am so annoyed by the fact that essential people like scientists, engineers, hell even carpenters and plumbers, were never considered for the Arks. All the seats were given to old rich people and their families. Who's gonna rebuild the world after the waters recede and they have to leave the Arks? All the people that had the qualifications to do it are dead.
This movie is symbolic of what's coming. It will be an economic deluge, and the government and the elite will survive it with their lives intact. Everyone else will be wiped out and must conform to what will rise.
So true! Predictive programming basically the New World Order
This movie was made to let us know that we will never be saved if this were to ever happen.
Hate to say it, but Oliver Platt's character was always spitting facts.
5:26 when he said “what” 😢😢😢
Oliver platts character was spot on in this movie. wasnt even the bad guy.
Hmmm! Indeed - very interesting. Ark 3 was damaged beyond repair.
They still have phone service at this point?
A lot of cellphones use GPS and satellites so long as they're functioning you could technically call although it would have a lot of interference from the crust breaking up and disrupting the poles and magneticfields during the pole shift ...
Grandson you know i survived this?
Grandpa did you forget your meds again?
あの状況になっても携帯電話つながるんだな
7:07
I understand that the Government in this movie isn’t good at calculations, but come on!
How did you not see that another wave was going to hit way earlier than the first wave?!
Truly the Golgafrinchins
In the B ark
Never forget the loss … carry the burden for is our humanity that keeps us going . History is our book of bible
A tsnumai is from far incredible but from upclose no one will survive to tell the tale
How ever flawed the Idea of an ark is, makers of this one didn't get it at all. Most on board would hardly be able to take care of themselves. The one's who could build a World, were let go.
I saw this movie on acid and spent the next 6 months avoiding water
1:39 our Queen actor just died
There's nothing worse when predictions and calculations go wrong. If only the events in this movie would come true.
2:38 you see the corpse of Antonov 225 well Sasha was died
In the end of the world you don't need a rich guy, a politician or an engineer. You need a farmer, a guy who can build a house or a guy who can hunt and find food
He says “ you could fit ten people in here “
Standing room only
The saddest thing is that only the "Wealthy" would be put in bunkers or arks
It’s mean to put these talented people in this movie.
I think there's a misconception here, and it's not really explained that well in the movie either. The rich people who payed 1 Billion € per ticket are only in some of the arks (I'd guess the ones with the spacious rooms and all the comforts, like the one Adrian is in). Their money allowed the construction of a bunch more arks so that "normal" people with meaningful jobs/knowledge (but not that much money) could be selected/extracted and saved as well. If they didn't take this approach the plan wouldn't have been sustainable.
So, in a way, the rich people that Adrian sarcastically accused of buying their way into the arks... effectively made it possible to save everyone else, Adrian included. And in return they (quite rightfully I might add) got tickets for themselves and whoever they payed for.
Theres no way that wave would be up that high to engulf the Himalayas. There isnt enough water, and if there was, it would fall into the earth when the earth plates began collapsing and folding on itself.
I would rather have child actor roles played by fully grown adults than actual adolescent children actors
4:55 that scene was insane... water was pushing the damn clouds out the way.. nothing to do there but climb into a sealed air bag & hope for the best.. those Horns are Always so ominous.. if you ever hear those air raid sirens and theres no war.. kiss your ass good bye
The fact that they let old rich people with dogs instead of the future
I'm gonna tell my kids that the events in this movie where real
