Synopsis
- The film is based upon the prediction of the Mayan calendar that a series of natural disasters will end the world in 2012. In 2009, scientists detect severe storms on the surface of the sun and believe this will have an effect on the earth. Over the next few years, scientists gather data which indicates the imminent destruction of the world and inform various world leaders. Rather than inform the public, the leaders formulate plans to save themselves.Latino Review: Story Details for Roland Emmerich's 2012 (June 24, 2008)
Trailer Review Quotes
- "I'll be completely honest, Emmerich hasn't made a great movie in the last decade. And while I can admit this teaser is promising, I have a feeling that 2012 will be nothing more than a bunch of cool disaster effects sequences strung together."—SlashFilmSlashFilm: Roland Emmerich's 2012 (November 12, 2008)
- "Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice. A new teaser for 2012 suggests it may also involve giant walls of water. The film takes it's cue from the handful of people who believe the world will end in 2012, and they in turn get their belief from the "fact" that the Mayan calendar apparently ends on December 21, 2012. Natural disasters including earthquakes, hurricanes, and volcanic eruptions hack and slash away at life on Earth until only John Cusack, Amanda Peet, and a few thousand others are left alive. (Why it's not called A Couple More Days After Tomorrow I don't know)."—Film School RejectsFilmSchoolRejects: Digital Waves Were Once Impressive (November 13, 2008)
