Nostradamus: 2012

Nostradamus: 2012

On a scale 1 to 10 i'd give this movie a -1 (a mean MINUS one). It's a complete waste of time, more yet it's an insult to one's intelligence. Those quatrains they keep on quoting could mean anything, but no, they just had to interpret it their way. No one could ever decipher a quatrain to actually predict anything. It is a complete idiotic film, it doesn't even worth the value of the disc it is printed on. Those lunatic, drug-addicted people sees disasters everywhere and anywhere. I think the only disaster it's (in) their heads. This film is such a mess i don't know where it begins and where it ends. There are absolutely no narrative guidelines, just some patched flash-episodes stitched together. The mixing of the antique cultures is incredibly awful and the decoding of the Nostradamus' lost pictures is so hilarious that it won't foul not even a 3 year old kid. I wish i could write more about this movie but i'm simply out of words. Don't waste your time on this movie, not even if you got a death wish.

Center of the galaxy and Nostradamus - at the time of Nostradamus (1503-1566) wasn't even concept of the galaxy. "Flat Earth centre of the universe" was the major heavily guarded by church idea at that time. Giordano Bruno was burnt for "the Earth revolves around the sun" statement by bible fanatics in 1600. The Milky Way galaxy has 100 billion stars with planets - millions of them aligning with the centre of the galaxy at any given moment. It's not a big f***ing deal! Nostradamus catrenes - just read them in their original language, they are written in such fuzzy symbolic language that you can put any meaning you like in their interpretation. Just another lunatic "end of the world" raving waste of resources. I can't believe it's sponsored by History Channel.

Although I would be slightly inclined to agree with kranav's comment, I still feel that the History Channel did a fairly good job delving into this topic as it is very controversial. To be quite honest, I was hoping it would be longer than it was. There is always one person saying "I can predict the next 500 years and I'm sure we'll be able to match an event up with at least on my predictions", the different is, Nostradamus has accurate predictions. Although his method with his drawings may seem ambiguous to some, there can only be so much that they can define. If someone is able to match up an event that has taken place or and event that will take place with his Quatrains then the only thing you can really do is consider it a possibility. All I can say is, be open to the possibilities when watching this movie and don't think that Dec 21st 2012 will be the end of the world as it can also be start of a new beginning.

if you like a pseudo science and hour and a half maybes then this is a movie for you. the people they interview are not scientists and they are talking a lot of crap through out the movie. every prophecy by notradamus (which is already very vague) is explained with a maybe this maybe that, basically, after watching this movie i learned only one thing - people are able to interpret everything into anything. some of their facts are wrong (the bible codes have been widely discussed and refuted), they talk about pictures and connect them to something that we know today (spiral in the book??? no!! nostradamus knew that is out galaxy!! what a genius). if you need to kill time without learning anything this is a movie for you. if you don't want to destroy your brain, don't watch this. btw - i'm also a prophet - i see that 2012 will be like the other end days people foretold (2006, 2000, 1999 and so on). i can also see that the people who made this movie (which already say their not sure) will make another movie and find another date to hang on too.

This close as you can get to Nostradamus Quatrains. It gives a revelation of the upcoming catastrophic events before and in the year 2012 as predicted by the prophet Nostradamus. I feel the History Channel did a fairly good job delving into this topic as it is very controversial. To be quite honest, I was hoping it would be longer than it was. All I can say is, be open to the possibilities when watching this movie. As a spiritual message, the film is overwhelming, bringing tears of renewal to the believers in the audience. Even if you are not a believer, though, I still think there is something in this for you. This film will rock your world, and that's an understatement. In conclusion, not everyone will like this movie. Some will love it, and some will hate it. But, I think that if you should at least see it before you judge it. My opinion: 10/10

Thank goodness they all picked December 21, 2012. In all honesty, I am a VERY late Christmas shopper, in fact, my usual day of choice is Christmas Eve, so I am going to save a bunch of money that year! In fact, I think I'll go out and max out credit cards and buy a home I can't afford. Even if they're wrong, everyone else seems to be buying homes that can't afford, hence the reason for the housing problem. I digress, that's irrelevant, but what should be relevant and obvious is that I don't buy into the whole Sun & Milky Way on 12/21/12 = something really bad…perhaps…maybe…might happen theories. Though I appreciate this semi-documentary not officially taking a stance, I heard not a one like me. Not one person to discredit Nostradamus or the other worried cultures. (On a side note, thankfully, they predicted the end times way out of their own future as well as their children's grandchildren's future. Hmmm.) To me, though it tried to remain unbiased, I didn't hear the other side say this is all rubbish. A little background: I am Christian, and I believe that there are to be 7 years of Tribulation until Christ's return. This of course, would mean 2012's out the window, it's too soon. Where were those people? In all arguments/documentaries that simply cannot be proved, I appreciate both views, even if I don't agree. Here, you get the Michael Moore, albeit more professional and a heck of lot less humorous, version. And it's boring, to boot. I wanted to see what they think was going to happen, but alas, no one knows. They range from asteroids, war, famine to the actual end itself. All talk. At least it ended on a positive side with the Hopi's "survival" outlook.

I found this program to be more comical than entertaining. It basically tries to scare people that the world is going to end in 2012 through repetition, if you keep telling someone that it's true. eventually people will believe it, that is what this program is attempting. There are no real facts or any kind of academic research. 5 minutes of real content is reworded over one and half hour... All the people in the film are basically fictional authors who make money off scaring people. Odds are these people will jump onto the next 'end of world' fad once 2012 pass without event. One of the authors even goes as far as to use a Star Trek metaphor...I actually wanted to punch him in the face.

Weak title, it has a lot of interesting information, but the way it is presented made me quite angry. I don't like when me as a viewer is believed to be a sheep. Some things that should be explained by physicist are explained by astrologist and some things are explained WAY too many times. In total there is interesting information, but there are also some weird assumptions that sound like "It is like that, because it is like that" It seems they lack ideas and information to present so they have filled up these one and half hour by presenting same information many many many times. I suggest if you are interested in Nostredamus prediction and 2012 doomsday prediction you stick to wikipedia. You won't lose as much IQ doing some reading. I give four points because i liked some of animated scenes and part about Freemasons.
