Never before has a date in history been so significant to so many cultures, so many religions, scientists, and governments. A global cataclysm brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivors. With the Mayan calender ending in 2012, a large group of people face natural disasters like volcanoes, typhoons, and glaciers.

I saw this trailer recently and it looked awesome - it reminded me very much of The Day After Tomorrow, and other disaster movies of cataclysmic dimensions - like Earthquake.
Anything dreadful that can happen is going to happen in this film. How will I survive watching it?

By gouging your eyes out. Seriously. :p
The reason it reminds you of The Day After Tomorrow is because it is The Day After Tomorrow.
Roland Emmerich is a complete hack - TDAT was so dull he was forced to add deus ex machina rabid dogs, a tactic which really didn't help. Now he thinks he's cracked it ("Eureka! Let's just have more than one form of CG destruction! And some semi-religious symbolism so the critics won't rip us apart any more!")
I'd sooner p*y to see [Genre] Movie.

Don't do it Andrews

We'll leave AYBG at home while we all wallow in our death and destruction on a gargantuan scale (cue Earthquake, Tsunami...Eye of the storm view from space station..Invading aliens...Well maybe not in this film!)

Bring it on I say.

Shouldn't it be released in 2012 though :confused:

They've been really showing the trailer for this film alot on TV recently! It does look exciting, but some of the special effects looked abit ropey to me. And yes it's far too similar to the director's other films
