Yeah, when apparently some scientists actually predicted it back in 2009 and it was all just fake thankfully, I watched it when it came on Netflix in early 2010 with my family I was 6 years old and only in kindergarten and I got so scared, panicked and thought it was actually gonna end in 2012🤣🤣 but in 2011 and 2012 I wasn’t worried about it at all and in fact I didn’t watch this movie again until 2015 when I was 11-12ish!
Repeated cataclysms in the past suggests quite clearly, with solid evidence in the strata of the ground supporting it, that a huge cataclysm similar to that at the end of the younger Dryas (11.600 years ago, -> it ended the last cold period of the current ice age), is overdue. It should hit us within the next 200 years. What will be left of our delicate civ after that? What happened to previous cycles of human civilizations? Gobekli Tepe, the Sphinx in Egypt and many other megalithic sites around the world might answer that question.
@@prince-solomon We have a pretty good idea what caused the end of previous civilzations, and it never was some sort of a apocalyptic, natural catastrophe, that could threaten the existence of modern human civilization. Such fearmongering is therefore absolutly uncalled for. If our civilzation ends, it will most likely happen because of our own irrational actions.
The USD and the Euro are actually worth pretty much the same right now. Pretty sure that when this movie originally came out, that the Euro was near in the toilet for value.
It did end, they activated the particle collider and the planet we are on now is not the same planet as were on before. We were sent to someone different dimension. That's why alot of people remember things like logos and names of shows and books being different than they are now.

Can I just note the incredible foreshadowing done in this scene at 0:33? For anyone who watched this movie. The guy in the cab Adrian, his father was on a cruise just like that toy boat and got overtaken by a giant tsunami wave.

Man, my partner and I went on a massive binge fest of disaster movies a while ago starting with the blockbusters and moving slowly down the tiers of quality until we got to movies where we were asking how it even made it through editing with someone still thinking it was good to be seen by the public. Dunno what it is about them but they're just great to watch over and over again, most of them anyways
kinda like the movie foreshadows something in real life that was produced in 2012 th-cam.com/video/65xLByzT1l0/w-d-xo.html Note the ending of the movie, where the sun is rising before the boatman, and looks like its boiling off the oceans and melting glaciers that shouldnt be so far south.

Thanks to the Chinese Authority and Dr. Adrian helmsley, I have been able to manage to go on board the submarine. And survived the disaster... it's been a 10 years and still gives me a chill.
The actual reason why absolutely nothing occurred on 21/12/12 irl is simply because the guy in charge of writing the Mayan calendar simply got bored and chose to stop on that date, he'd had enough of the excessive hours and low pay and quit his job. He didn't stop because there were no more days to write, he just had enough of his horrible employers and chose to quit. That's it.

I never did understand how the survivors aren't largely the villains of the piece. I mean, they learn of the catastrophe and their response is to make sure they, and only they, survive. Spend all the money and treasure confiscated from the little guy over the decades through taxes and confiscation to ensure THEY survive, and screw everyone else. It's an elitist's wet dream---a grand reset of the world without all those annoying little people dragging them down. And the movie doesn't even touch on the total evil of that.
Agreed, all the people who rushed for the ships were already ticket holders, they just went to other ships when theirs got destroyed during a shift earthquake. Its not like they invited common people to go with them, they only decided to help the other filthy rich scoundrels that had lost their boat. Can you imagine how shitty it would be to start a brand new fucking world, with literally the nastiest, most sociopathic scum as the ones laying the groundwork? Honestly, Im not even sure they would survive each other until the waters receded. I bet, without common people for them to use and wipe their asses with, they would quickly turn on one another, and not show nearly the restraint common people have when they turn on one another. And not to mention, if people hadnt been such greedy bastards to begin with, they could have saved a lot more people. You are right. They didnt WANT to help the common rabble. Even Anheuser says it to Helmsley, " If you want to donate your passes to a couple of chinese workers, be my guest" He shut his piehole and boarded the ship hahahaha.
If it makes you feel better, they're going to end up having to figure out how to farm and all sorts of manual labour after being lazy all their lives. Just think of Elon Musk taking the place of a musk ox to plow.
I truly enjoy the ride on ArcNo3. My gratitude to all the people around the world who saved us, and my sincere condolences to those who missed the rescue plan. May the R.I.P. We will work as hard as we can to earn this second chance bestowed on us. God bless us all.🙏🙏
Um. Ark no.3 is broken. Coz the roof collapsed in on it during the shifting of the Earth's crust. Only Arks no.4, 6, and 7 are operational. But you'd be lucky enough, if you survive in the Ark Building Bunker Facility in the Cho Ming Valley.
A large solar outburst can theoretically cause changes in the earth's core if it was big enough and hit the earth directly. We would have literally no way to stop the outburst or the effects.
@@talos6202 Yeah, but there is a meteor impact in the Yucatan penninsula that dates to the same year as the extinction event 65 mil years ago and the dimensions of the meteor and impact are congruent with a global extinction event. It could be a combination though.
We missed one in 2012 that would have devastated the world electricity grid. Just happened that earth wasn't at that particular point in it's orbit then.
@@NA1c158 Also, at the same time as the meteor impact, a series of volcanos began massive eruptions in what is now India This volcanos were an exceptionally large type called flood basalt volcanos and cause exactly as their name implies, and there have been other eruptions over the eons, one of which being the one that caused the Permian Mass Extinction There's this one video on here that explains this so much better than I ever could
It's a dramatic, disaster, action-flick, with a doulop of dark humor and a sprinkling of relateable issues about humanity as a whole. Tis' a decent movie to get a thrill out off.
@@ppvc388 Sure it's enjoyable as mindless entertainment and light social commentary. It's premise is total nonsense, though, as far as scientific plausibility goes.
I remember 12/21/12 perfectly. I was 13 years old in Mcallen Texas, its was like 75 degrees outside and the most perfect december day ever 😂this was my fav movie at the time
Actual low-IQ. Imagine being scared of a date set by humans, thinking it would be "the end of the world." Just as dumb of a conspiracy as supernatural beliefs. People are idiots.
It would have been traumatizing too. Cause Euro is still a stronger currency than the US $ even. So the arab would have had the same reaction. Although, a bit less emotional about it.
This movie was so close to being a 10 out of 10. But last section was like they brought in a whole new writing team that couldnt handle it knocking several points off.
@@vindirect Not sure what you mean. But if it was over the top natural disaster from beginning to end with desperate survival strategies and ends with quickly getting on the boat. Not screwing around with whatever illogical mess they loaded the end with then it would of been a 10/10.
Lightning struck the statue of liberty, earthquakes in multiple locations over a few days, and solar eclipse next week. I feel this movie is playing out in real time.
2:50 "For the first time, the neutrinos are causing a physical reaction." Dude, the screen writer has completely flunked physics. If neutrinos did not cause any physical reaction, you would never have observed them in the first place.
Omg...till now, I would never forget this movie until my death...my entire childhood was traumatic because of this movie when I was 10... Mentally I got affected and my parents recovered me by some therapy.... I'm from india 🇮🇳❤️
Human civilization: 10,000 years. Human existence: 200,000 years. T Rex: 70 million years. Earth: 4 billion years. Our existence is the blink of an eye.
I watched this movie when I was a child and I actually believed that it would happen. Despite all the scientific inaccuracies, it is still one of my favourite movies.
I like how this one guy can just convince everyone that the world is ending just by a simple piece of paper. He gets dismissed but when the guy is shown the paper, it's like an epiphany. "My god, the world IS ending!" What was on the paper sheet that convinced him that fast?
Most likely scientific proof of the impending apocalypse, and the man he handed it to had knowledge on how to understand it and how to put it all together.
Right Day After tomorrow which was directed by the same director was very similar Vice President refusing to listen to the claim of Global Warming causing a new ice age.
I love this movie. I don't know how many times I've watched it since high school. Whenever it's on cable or streaming platforms, I click and watch it. It's not that good, but not bad either. Maybe it's because I'm a fan of disaster movies, pre-apocalypse, apocalypse, and alien invasion movies. That's why I love it. Similar to Deep Impact, Armageddon, The Day After Tomorrow, The Core, Greenland, etc. 😂
I remember hearing about the possibility of the World ending in 2012 back in 2009. I was absolutely terrified, thinking we were all going to die in some horrible manner. When the alotted tome came and went, I breathed the biggest sigh of relief in three years and proceeded to sleep for the entire weekend to make up for nights spent terrified. And then this movie caame out and showed me exactly what I had seen in my nightmares. Suffice to say, while this movie is incredible, I've got PTSD from this shit.
Its ironic how in the beginning when Adrian warns the cab driver about running over the kids ship, you see it turned over in the water foreshadowing how Adrian's dad died at sea while on a cruise ship
I don’t understand why this movie didn’t win an Oscar! This was the best movie in a long time. It’s a 10/10! Inshallah we get another movie like this masterpiece but I highly double Hollywood can capture lightening in a bottle twice.
It’s not Hollywood in general. It’s Roland Emmerich’s achievement specifically. Unless another man with his talent appears, it’s indeed impossible to have another movie like this in our lifetime. Even he has said that he put his all in this movie, with the prospect of never having to do a disaster movie again. And indeed his subsequent movies are sub par.
You know something is wrong when the Higher education system is still trying to tell people that the Sun has nothing to do with the weather on the Earth.
You won’t convince me otherwise: this opening scene is peak cinema. With a few scene, you immediately understand how insanely terrible the situation is, but you still don’t know what’s going to happen, even if the miniature boat at the beginning foreshadows everything.
This film always makes me chuckle, my son was born on 21/12/2006, we said he'd bring trouble with him as he was born arm first like superman. Then this film came out and the old mayan calender aswell, def made us laugh!
Yeah, watch out for the toy boat I can see from the back seat through the rain. And yeah, I recognize that little kid under the umbrella I can see squatting on the side of the road from the back seat in the rain as you splash him as we drive past, the one I haven't seen for a long time who's grown so much. "How can you work in this heat?" he says while keeping his coat on, not that anyone else is wearing a coat. Straight to work, don't stop to properly greet the wife, an old friend, who's cooking you dinner. An ominous opening scene, very realistic. I believe everything that follows. Totally solid characters. It only gets better...Ragged black man crashes a whitey black tie event, borrows a jacket, no black tie, security lets he in. He starts raising his voice and doesn't get tazed or worse. Totally believable...
One thing I always laughed at was how the heads of state were basically taking only the rich and wealthy along with a couple of scientist and largely politicians. But had no one for manual labor at all, but maybe some military personnel for safety. Did they really think they were going to be able to kick start civilization again with no one of skilled labor to build those houses, farm the land and other such things that would be needed. Right at the start they were already doomed. It wasn’t till the scientist basically had to tell them we need the labor or were dead for the fat cats to realize they screwed up. Was such a stupid way to go. While other movies like “Greenland” actually used a real recruiting method to get skilled labor for the end to re-populate.
Not only that.DId they really think people who livd in palaces would remain grateful being crammed into a cabin with several others and having to go through a Navy style chow line for meals?

If it makes you feel better, they're going to end up having to figure out how to farm and all sorts of manual labour after being lazy all their lives. Just think of Elon Musk taking the place of a musk ox to plow.
Damn, can't believe it's been 11 years since the world ended. We have a come a long way in just a little over a decade.
Ah a fellow survivor.
Yes I agree it was quite an ordeal.
I truly enjoy the ride on ArcNo3. My gratitude to all the people around the world who saved us, and my sincere condolences to those who missed the rescue plan. May the R.I.P. We will work as hard as we can to earn this second chance bestowed on us. God bless us all.🙏🙏
Um. Ark no.3 is broken. Coz the roof collapsed in on it during the shifting of the Earth's crust. Only Arks no.4, 6, and 7 are operational.
But you'd be lucky enough, if you survive in the Ark Building Bunker Facility in the Cho Ming Valley.
This movie and The Day After Tomorrow all time favs
A large solar outburst can theoretically cause changes in the earth's core if it was big enough and hit the earth directly. We would have literally no way to stop the outburst or the effects.
I argued last summer on Instagram that it was a solar burst that wiped out the dinosaurs. Not a meteor like everyone else was saying.
@@talos6202 you mean like the actual scientists who dedicate their lives to the study of the phenomena are saying
@@talos6202 Yeah, but there is a meteor impact in the Yucatan penninsula that dates to the same year as the extinction event 65 mil years ago and the dimensions of the meteor and impact are congruent with a global extinction event. It could be a combination though.
We missed one in 2012 that would have devastated the world electricity grid. Just happened that earth wasn't at that particular point in it's orbit then.
@@NA1c158 Also, at the same time as the meteor impact, a series of volcanos began massive eruptions in what is now India
This volcanos were an exceptionally large type called flood basalt volcanos and cause exactly as their name implies, and there have been other eruptions over the eons, one of which being the one that caused the Permian Mass Extinction
There's this one video on here that explains this so much better than I ever could
I was fortunate to survive the awful events from 2012... along with a bajillion amount of people as well. Thank you Thank you!!!
I survived this by staying locked in my room sleeping. What a journey!
Try me. I can stay locked in my house just doing my own stuff. So!
I don't care what people say this is a good movie
It's a dramatic, disaster, action-flick, with a doulop of dark humor and a sprinkling of relateable issues about humanity as a whole. Tis' a decent movie to get a thrill out off.
reminds me of Indiana Jones movies..non stop action
No, you like it a lot and enjoy it, which is absolutely ok, but this was NOT a good movie.
@@steverogers7601For its category it was though. Can't think of an apocalypse-movie that's better in terms of effects, creativity and suspense
@@ppvc388 Sure it's enjoyable as mindless entertainment and light social commentary. It's premise is total nonsense, though, as far as scientific plausibility goes.
This movie is incredible, you will never be bored whenever you watch
5:30 I love how the music gets obscure as the same of his face gets serious : He just has informed that the whole world will end soon
I have the same feeling when i read "La Miseria del Intervencionismo" ( The missery of Interventionism) of Axel Kaiser.
gonna show my kids this movie and tell them it actually happened 😂
Do it
@FilmMajor No, it's not. That's fearmongering nonsense that the establishment came up with to justify taking away your rights.
I remember 12/21/12 perfectly. I was 13 years old in Mcallen Texas, its was like 75 degrees outside and the most perfect december day ever 😂this was my fav movie at the time
McAllen tx baby 🫶🏿
Shoutout the 956
956 💪🏽💪🏽
I was beyond scared as a kid after watching this movie 😢 … I cried after the day passed 😅
r u in usa?
Actual low-IQ. Imagine being scared of a date set by humans, thinking it would be "the end of the world." Just as dumb of a conspiracy as supernatural beliefs. People are idiots.
If it were 2021 instead of 2012:
"I am afraid they are in euros"
"Oh THANK GOD"
It would have been traumatizing too. Cause Euro is still a stronger currency than the US $ even. So the arab would have had the same reaction. Although, a bit less emotional about it.
Upvoted for Danny Glover as the President...great role. 2012 wasn't a "great" movie, but damn he was good in it.
This is one of my favourite movies because it actually shows how the governments would deal with such a situation
I mean who actually thinks the government would try to save average people? Aside from essential personnel to maintain critical systems.
I’m gonna show this movie to my future kids and say “Yeah, I survived all of that.”
Years from now we can tell all our grandkids the world ended back in our day.
My family got annoyed at how many times I replayed this movie as a kid 😂 just can’t get enough of a good disaster movie
This movie was so close to being a 10 out of 10. But last section was like they brought in a whole new writing team that couldnt handle it knocking several points off.
Name of the movie?
@@vindirect Not sure what you mean. But if it was over the top natural disaster from beginning to end with desperate survival strategies and ends with quickly getting on the boat. Not screwing around with whatever illogical mess they loaded the end with then it would of been a 10/10.
@@DeerRunner i'm asking you what even is this? A movie a series or what?
@@vindirect Movie
Sorry just realized name of movie is 2012. The could have been an amazing classic.
Lightning struck the statue of liberty, earthquakes in multiple locations over a few days, and solar eclipse next week. I feel this movie is playing out in real time.
2:50 "For the first time, the neutrinos are causing a physical reaction." Dude, the screen writer has completely flunked physics. If neutrinos did not cause any physical reaction, you would never have observed them in the first place.
Well, we survived December 21. I remember boarding my Tector-class star destroyer and watching the tsunami from Earth's orbit.
I’ll never understand how Emmerich creates such beautiful special effects and equally terrible everything else.
Omg...till now, I would never forget this movie until my death...my entire childhood was traumatic because of this movie when I was 10...
Mentally I got affected and my parents recovered me by some therapy....
I'm from india 🇮🇳❤️
It is was not unexpected that the best YT scientists have reunited in this comment session in the usual mocking frenzy
Human civilization: 10,000 years. Human existence: 200,000 years. T Rex: 70 million years. Earth: 4 billion years. Our existence is the blink of an eye.
cause humans shouldn't be here
@@stellarcubicbeam7760 maybe we're just nature's way of observing it's self
A single species of theropod existed for 70 million years? Give me a break
@@JaneXemylixa Dinos ruled the earth about 70 million years ago.
@@michaelgeraghty3989 You put it in the same context as how long things have lasted. Implying it's the number of years they hung around
Oliver Platt, underrated actor.
I watched this movie when I was a child and I actually believed that it would happen. Despite all the scientific inaccuracies, it is still one of my favourite movies.
the puddle? why!?!? the endless pain we feel in the first seconds of the movie never fades
Government’s actions are so unrealistic here compared to the “Don’t Look Up!”
😂
Both are unrealistic tho, Don't look up are unrealisticly stupid, in good comedic way
This whole clip should be the vibe of the entire movie.
Yeah what a year that was, rain, flood, earthquake, drought and a whole lot of nothing. But hey we still here survived respect.
I like how this one guy can just convince everyone that the world is ending just by a simple piece of paper. He gets dismissed but when the guy is shown the paper, it's like an epiphany.
"My god, the world IS ending!" What was on the paper sheet that convinced him that fast?
Most likely scientific proof of the impending apocalypse, and the man he handed it to had knowledge on how to understand it and how to put it all together.
@jonathanbirch2022in other words a great big shock 😂
this really was the best part of the movie.
Every disaster movie starts with politicians ignoring a scientist
Bro so true its always the same. Like with climate change.
Right Day After tomorrow which was directed by the same director was very similar Vice President refusing to listen to the claim of Global Warming causing a new ice age.
I love this movie. I don't know how many times I've watched it since high school. Whenever it's on cable or streaming platforms, I click and watch it. It's not that good, but not bad either. Maybe it's because I'm a fan of disaster movies, pre-apocalypse, apocalypse, and alien invasion movies. That's why I love it. Similar to Deep Impact, Armageddon, The Day After Tomorrow, The Core, Greenland, etc. 😂
They're telling us what is coming.
I remember hearing about the possibility of the World ending in 2012 back in 2009. I was absolutely terrified, thinking we were all going to die in some horrible manner. When the alotted tome came and went, I breathed the biggest sigh of relief in three years and proceeded to sleep for the entire weekend to make up for nights spent terrified. And then this movie caame out and showed me exactly what I had seen in my nightmares. Suffice to say, while this movie is incredible, I've got PTSD from this shit.
So only the wealthy can afford to survive any disasters !?
In real life too .
😂😂😂
kids nowadays will never understand the excitement of waiting for the world to end in 2012.
The world as we know it already ceases to exist! Insanity reigns
Haha yeah you're right guess it really did end in 2012. That's when all this social justice shit blasted off
Danny Glover is a very underrated actor.
He is quite amazing.
I like him in shooter 🔫😎
You have no clue what underrated means, do you?
He’s getting too old for this sh*t…or is he?
2012!!! The most underrated MOVIE of the millennium..........so far
This movie should have won an Oscar.
The world as we know will soon come to an end
holy shit still give me goose bump
It's always funny how the people who survive in such movies always belong to the nation who makes the film.
You mean like aliens always land and contact the US first 😂😂
Ehh, I mean, the US is the most powerful nation in the World, so it makes sense.
@@wouterbmx072well we know they’re not gonna go to no damn fiji 😂
true. even the negro guy survived for being an american.
Of course. It’s because it’s an American film. If it was a foreign family, American markets wouldn’t be able to relate to them.
“I survived 2012 and all I have to show for it is this lousy t-shirt!”
🤣
We all should thank Chuck Norris for this. He stood outside at midnight of 12/21/12 and just stared at the sky saying “I dare you.”
Nothing happened.
Its insane how far we come since this horrible event happened in our lives
Its ironic how in the beginning when Adrian warns the cab driver about running over the kids ship, you see it turned over in the water foreshadowing how Adrian's dad died at sea while on a cruise ship
Our parents walking uphill both ways to and from school.
What we went through:
@ 9:26 , i guess he was deciding who should live and who should die (in his big 'family'), haha!
2012, was the begin of the countdown..
I don’t understand why this movie didn’t win an Oscar! This was the best movie in a long time. It’s a 10/10! Inshallah we get another movie like this masterpiece but I highly double Hollywood can capture lightening in a bottle twice.
It’s not Hollywood in general. It’s Roland Emmerich’s achievement specifically. Unless another man with his talent appears, it’s indeed impossible to have another movie like this in our lifetime. Even he has said that he put his all in this movie, with the prospect of never having to do a disaster movie again. And indeed his subsequent movies are sub par.
Also, for any _Bionicle_ fans here…you’re looking at the voice actor for Turaga Dume from _Legends of Metru Nui_ at the 8:53 mark.
I never noticed the kid playing with the boat in the rain foreshadows a scene with a cruise ship later on in the film.
Thank you... now playing ▶️ 🎶 later!!!!!
Something I never quite noticed at first;
At the beginning of the video, the planets are aligned.
You know something is wrong when the Higher education system is still trying to tell people that the Sun has nothing to do with the weather on the Earth.
How dare you!
I remember 12/21/2012 I was shitting bricks the whole entire day
Me as a dad: “you that shi son? I survived all that 😎”
Son: “🫢”
The Rich will Survive and the Poor will Die, History never Changes
I like that in this scene we saw the type of friendship between Adrian and Satnam. Made me sad when Satnam and his family passed
This movie was fun and entertaining to watch.
You won’t convince me otherwise: this opening scene is peak cinema. With a few scene, you immediately understand how insanely terrible the situation is, but you still don’t know what’s going to happen, even if the miniature boat at the beginning foreshadows everything.
This film always makes me chuckle, my son was born on 21/12/2006, we said he'd bring trouble with him as he was born arm first like superman. Then this film came out and the old mayan calender aswell, def made us laugh!
I thought I was watching the whole movie for a moment there. Haha
Yeah, watch out for the toy boat I can see from the back seat through the rain. And yeah, I recognize that little kid under the umbrella I can see squatting on the side of the road from the back seat in the rain as you splash him as we drive past, the one I haven't seen for a long time who's grown so much. "How can you work in this heat?" he says while keeping his coat on, not that anyone else is wearing a coat. Straight to work, don't stop to properly greet the wife, an old friend, who's cooking you dinner. An ominous opening scene, very realistic. I believe everything that follows. Totally solid characters. It only gets better...Ragged black man crashes a whitey black tie event, borrows a jacket, no black tie, security lets he in. He starts raising his voice and doesn't get tazed or worse. Totally believable...
Superb movie. I watched it four times in theatres.
I’m going to show this to my grand kids one day abs tell them it a historical accurate
This and the purge 😂
Definitely the best disaster movie ever made. Its so bad but at the same time masterful i cant really explain it
Great movie from entertainment standpoint
Thank you God this didn't happen 2023 we All still here 🙏.
One thing I always laughed at was how the heads of state were basically taking only the rich and wealthy along with a couple of scientist and largely politicians. But had no one for manual labor at all, but maybe some military personnel for safety.
Did they really think they were going to be able to kick start civilization again with no one of skilled labor to build those houses, farm the land and other such things that would be needed. Right at the start they were already doomed.
It wasn’t till the scientist basically had to tell them we need the labor or were dead for the fat cats to realize they screwed up. Was such a stupid way to go. While other movies like “Greenland” actually used a real recruiting method to get skilled labor for the end to re-populate.
Not only that.DId they really think people who livd in palaces would remain grateful being crammed into a cabin with several others and having
to go through a Navy style chow line for meals?
"Deep Impact" also had a real recruiting method.
Matthew 24:35-36
[35]Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
[36]But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
9:18 “I’m afraid the amount is in Euros.” What difference does that make now?
The Euro has always been in constant competition with the US Dollar for the past 20 years and more often than not the Euro was more expensive. he'd actually be paying around 1,300,000,000 USD if converted
"The world, as we know it, will come to an end. We have run out of coffee." Now that would have been a more realistic line.
There may never be a disaster movie this good again
"Neutrinos are mutating" 😂
Not AS crazy as you might think..
The rhythm's gonna get me!!!
I find this movie sad.
Millions and millions of people die and one of the few survivors . . .
