2012 Doomsday
On December 21, 2012 four strangers on a journey of faith are drawn to an ancient temple in the heart of Mexico. For the Mayans it is the last recorded day. For NASA scientists it is a cataclysmic polar shift. For the rest of us, it is Doomsday.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
It seems to me that the vast majority of the so-called 'reviews' of this movie are people just 'having a go' at Christians - little wonder that Islam Is taking over the world while ever people from Christian countries attack their own faith!Why can't people rate this Movie on It's acting,special effects and photography Instead of using It as an excuse to attack Christians? Considering the relatively tiny budget of just £250k, this Isn't a bad job at all. Of course It's far fetched - but people love films like The Matrix,Mars attacks and similar stuff which are laughably stupid and unbelievable - but entertaining despite that.There's a lot of hypocrites about,In other words. The special effects are good - again,considering the budget - and Cliff De Young Is a damn good actor, just take a look at the many films he's been In! Okay,so the films premise Is silly,but as I say, most of the highest-rated movies of all time have a ridiculous and unbelievable storyline. The many Christian churches - Protestantism,Catholicism,Baptists,Wesleyan,Coptic,Orthodox,Mormons, witnesses and hundreds more - serve only to confuse the Issue. All organised religion Is false - Jesus tells us himself through Matthew In the new testament that those who pray In churches are Hypocrites - one should pray alone,In private,In ones 'chamber'(bedroom or other private place).Reading the book of Matthew reveals the one truth about Christianity - be good,be nice to people,pray for forgiveness of your sins each day - and THAT'S IT! Remember - MEN have created organised religion\churches, NOT Jesus! Neither did Jesus suggest as much - as he himself said,those who attend church expecting to be 'forgiven' have already blown their chance of redemption,likewise those who give 'charity' by having their picture taken whilst handing over those big cardboard cheques will be shunned by God - Alms(charity) should be given In private,known only to the giver,the receiver and God. Jesus makes It absolutely clear In Matthew that ones relationship with Christ and God Is a private matter for each Individual. DON'T SHUN Christianity BECAUSE OF ORGANISED RELIGION - YOU DO NOT HAVE TO JOIN ANY CHURCH TO BE A 'GOOD' Christian!! Read Matthew In the authorised(King James) bible and make up your own mind. Don't laugh at Christians because of the silly story to this film.
Some movies are so awful, they're funny. It movie is just awful. The writing and production is at an elementary school level. The movie is a train wreck. You know you shouldn't look but you can't stop watching it. At the beginning of the movie there is a volcano that looks like a grade six science project. This should be the first clue that the rest of the movie won't be much better. There are a couple of hot looking blondies in the movie, however their characters are terrible. When all hell is breaking loose I guess they forgot to tell the people in the background. The people are just walking and driving about, doing their daily routines. It's insulting to Christians, insulting to the Maya and insulting to anyone that thinks they might spend time to waste on this trash.
Where to start? First off the voice sync is way way off, not helped that some of the actors obviously are speaking their own language with voice overs.CGI looks to be done by some amateur film club presumably from a Christian support group oh yes the film in case you don't get it from the trailer or box isn't your standard end of the world disaster movie it is in fact a religious/Christian film about the supposed Rapture/second coming type of film so if you're not the slightest bit religious or a total non-believer be prepared for a lot of swearing ironically I was reported to say "OMG" over and over not because Im religious but because I couldn't believe what was happening. As the title says I tried three times on different occasions to watch this film, that's many hours of my life I'll never get backNest? Well there's the weird photographer following Sarah, without any real explanation why he is doing this, they then hook up but he is basically your muscle bound idiot not capable of stringing two words together till his death where he manages to talk almost coherently,The Doomsday consortium head who seems to be first shouting that the Rapture isn't real then in the next breath trying to get to the the temple to see the end of days, meantime trying to persuade his daughter to stay away from said temple. His daughter is a missionary in Peru and collects together a couple of locals to take to the temple, one being a very pregnant girl.You have an unexplained pregnant girl who speaks no English and of course goes into labour towards the climatic end.The film fails to explain why people suddenly disappear along the way, point in case is Susan's mother who is sat in the car then suddenly isn't there any more when the car breaks down.The climatic end well of course is the birth of Jesus No 2 who MUST be birthed at the alter of said temple. It's at this point that you really wish that if there is a god he just makes the whole thing go away, surely even he couldn't be that spiteful.The film doesn't make it clear if the rest of the worlds population has been killed or taken, even at the end the last comment is "There's a whole world out there and we have the chance to start afresh" what does this mean exactly?Poor acting, poor CGI, poor Script just really bad
Too bad it was just the bug-eyed, religiously delusional old lady that got raptured out of this film. I wish the entire cast, crew, director, and especially the scriptwriters had been raptured to high heaven before this dreck was produced. Then the rest of us unfortunate souls left behind wouldn't have had to endure this theological, cinematic insult. The acting is wincingly bad. The dialogue painfully wooden. I'm trying to remember a movie worse than this but I just can't. My favorite part: in the climactic scene, with Doomsday seemingly near at hand, we see the pregnant "Wakanna" being led up the steps of the temple to give birth to some new savior who will lead us all back to God. The dude helping her says, not once, but twice,"Watch your step."
