Jun 18 2009'2012' Trailer: The Day All This Random, Terrible Stuff Happens

2012-trailer.jpg

Roland Emmerich, director of such regular-people-and-a-few-government-people-coping-with-apocalyptic-events films as Independence Day, Godzilla, and The Day after Tomorrow, has a new regular-people-and-a-few-government-people-coping-with-apocalyptic-events film coming out this November, and this time the danger is more real, and more vague than ever. It's not monsters, aliens, nor global warming or cooling--this time it's just crazy shit happening, dudes!:

God, why did Doomsday have to take out the Sistine Chapel?? That's probably one of our best chapels! Do something, President Danny Glover!

I'm not a big Emmerich fan, but I have to admit, this should probably win some awards for Most Awesome & Convincing Flooding, Fiery Crashing, and Everything Generally Going to Shit Effects.

i would watch this.
first

looks decent... i'd second that "i'd watch this".....you know..cause i'm second

i would watch it second after u ^^

Y'know, this may not be the best movie, but I'm going to buy this. 'Cause if it looks this good on YOUTUBE, goddamn will it look good on Blu-ray on my TV.

Cusack's driving the same RV that Randy Quaid drove in Independence Day!

I feel like I've been there and done that already, and it was called The Deep Independence Day After Tomorrow.

Finally. A Waterworld prequel. Will the genius of Hollywood never cease?

Wow, this looks like shit.

When will people realize that Roland Emmerich has been making the same movie for over 15 years? With the exception of the surprisingly good Stargate, this CGI obsessed kraut sucks dick.

Does 1000 BC mean anything to y'all? I think thats what it was called...didnt even watch it LOLOLOL

You do all realize that the year 2012 is when Skynet goes online....or Zombies attack...

...either way we're all screwed.

I get the impression that we've just seen all the good parts of the movie (in the trailer). The remaining two hours will be character development for the twenty-odd people that we saw when the world WASN'T falling apart. It happened in ID4...

I almost rather watch a Uwe Boll film...

bet this was the CGI guys wet dreams.

Though might be entertaining.

Do you think Emmerich is that guy at the party that won't stop talking about the same damn crazy shit all the time? In his case, The world is going to end when... And, the whole time his hot wife is banging some less ridiculously obsessed with nonsense dude in the bathroom.
This movie looks like poo. I might watch it late at night, if I am really drunk and can't find porn.

I really hope this rips of the low budget parody film DISTASTER! where a meteorite with a mega tornado, tidal wave and giant earthquake all on it are on a collision course with the earth. That would be about right. In this case - pretty sure giant crystals under the earth are responsible party. NEXT plez.

Was that freakin' Danny Glover!?!

So, it's basically an Asylum Pictures film with a larger budget...

God dammit now people are going to keep asking us astronomers about the stupid fucking mayan calendar.

Damn! This guy likes to kill us!! LOL@6!

Wow, it's always raining when John Cusack's around. This time it's meteorites instead of water, but it is still raining something.

Roland always has such a delicate touch

disaster porn is making a comeback.

thought it was gonna be cheesy at first, but i guess the modern-day-noahs-ark route might be interesting...


..then again, it might just be seeing things get blown up in HQ that makes this look so cool

Meh. I'll just buy a plane and wait 3 1/2 years to watch the real thing happen.

Trey...I believe the original timeframe for Skynet going online was 1997...before "McG" fucked everything up.

Oooooh, you unbelievable snobist, elitist, stuck up bunch of cry babies!

"i'm above this simplistic CGI action nonsens blah blah blah"

Who do you think cares how terrible you think Emmerich and/or his eccessive use of CGI is?? Believe me, you're opinion is not interesting to anyone! Just see a trailer like this for what it is meant to be: Simplistic popcorn entertainment. Remember what that word meant? ENTERTAINMENT! If you want to find deep character studies or a life changing experience OBVIOUSLY you shouldn't clic on a trailer like this let alone take the effort to write your "oh please look how grown up my opinion is"


I'ts pathetic really.

The earliest civilization?? What about the Egyptians ... for example? The Aztecs came much later.

The graphics look really cool but the story will soooooooooo suck. Like always in these movies.

And a flying giraffe? lol

Dude, I love Emmerich. Sit down and turn your brain off for two hours. What more could you want?

That has Vir from B5 and The Operative from Serenity!

... I am such a huge nerd.

I can't believe this!!! London was really looking forward to hosting the Olympics, and now they've been CANCELED! Well, I am not going to be the one to break the news, Boris Johnson will go mad if we don't get our wiff-waff.

I was going to say this is going to be stupid.
Then I was going to go on to insult the director's other movie, Day After Tomorrow, and say it was the worst movie I've ever seen.

But then towards the end of the trailer I saw the Assassin from kickass movie Serenity and since decided I might give this a chance... as a download.

How many times is this guy going to make the same crappy disaster movie with zero story and plastic characters?

first civilization = Mesopotamians. I don't think the Mayans were even the first civilization in the western hemisphere..

so...is it lame that i was upset that they showed the uss jfk carrier crumbling in the water because that ship was decommissioned a couple of years ago? like...that's my major complaint.

1 new life, please.

I find it poetic that JFK takes out the Obama white house. We can only hope he was in the oval office when these two legacies came to a crashing conclusion.

I for one am not afraid that the pyramids were built in a manner that to this day escapes our understanding so that they may line up to perfection with certain stellar bodies on an exact date in 2012. It is a pure coincidence that these structures were erected - coincidence that they would illustrate a time and date to exactness thousands of years in the future; that we have no understanding of how this could have been so positively dwarfs the idea that they were warning us about something. Especially a polar realignment.

Back to work ya scumbags.

LOL! If you watch it from the point of view that that little private jet is causing all the destruction, you can have a bit of a laugh! Someone just shoot down that plane!

Wait wait wait wait wait. Did I just see a flying giraffe?

1:36.............FSCK FLYING PIGS

The effects certainly seem like updated versions of Day After Tomorrow. I am intrigued about the scale of this and actually seeing the entire planet demolished might be fun. The use of 2012 and the whole Mayan calender thing is not even close to being a good premise for this. They should have gone with polar shift causing the Moon to break apart or something more scientific. The Mayan calendar doesn't predict anything really. The Dec 2012 date is merely a change of age, just as many others that have come to pass, and their civilization was likely destroyed before the next age could be carved into stone. Like a said: not a good premise for this type of film.

Academic research does not indicate that the Maya attached any apocalyptic significance to the year 2012: the date for the end of their world lay unimaginable aeons of time in the future. Scholars cite the Mayan inscription Coba Stela 1, which features the date 13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.0.0.0.0. In Mayan mythology, this date represents the age of the previous world at its ending and the beginning of the current one, which corresponds to the Western date 11 August 3114 BC. Because the Mayan calendar is cyclical, the above dating will also, of necessity, mark the end of the present Long Count cycle and the beginning of the next. With each column equal to twenty times its predecessor, this date lies some 41,341,049,999,999,999,999,999,994,879 years in the future, or 3 quintillion times the scientifically accepted age of the universe.

Why can't you people see that the Mayans just GOT BORED from making a calendar?? They later moved on to pottery and scrapbooking.

@ananana
Either that of they were killed off by Spanish Conquistadors when they began colonizing America.

WHO THE FUCK KNOWS, LET'S STOP BEING PARANOID.

This movie could be called Swine-Flu for all I cared about that one too.

fake.

I bet the Giraffe was like "Lollololololol"

Anyways, I'll just watch the movie because it'll make millions of dollars anyways, and will be cool just watching everything Fall apart. xD

Impressive,a lot of folks like these kinds of movies.Looking forward!

The music in this "2012" trailer reminds me a bit on "Gangs of New York",coincidence? Click on me,it starts at 1:57.

@Cash.

You are a hateful sack of shit and I hope an aircraft carrier lands on you, fucknuts.

John Cusack in black? weird...

This guy spends so much money making a monumental piece of crap.

Not only a monumental one, but one that will be outdated 4 years afters it's made. It's just ridiculous i don't know how he keeps getting away with it.

We could be spending this money on curing cancer or giving aid to war torn countries or better yet BY MAKING A DECENT FUCKING FILM.

Ok, we all know Roland Emmerich isn't a great director, but he makes fun movies, albeit the same one over and over. The characters are always one-dimensional, the plots riddled with holes, and the script simply a string of one-liners and special effects.

But Independence Day was the Muh-fuggin sheet. There's no denying that his films are fun to watch. C'mon people, who doesn't want to watch the entire world simply crumble in front of you? Who cares that it's for some arbitrary reason?

is it me or does this look like a mash-up of the day after tommorrow and the knowing? you know, with the two kids and two adults, the crazy apocalyptic events, the warnings from the past, the saving the animals. anyone else see a correlation here?

eh... I'll wait for the real thing to happen.

Well said #26 Rik! Some people are just such crybabies about movies they haven't even seen yet. They don't know how to just let loose and have fun. Stop being so anal and just have some fun! Then maybe you won't be so miserable, wasting your lives online trying and failing to be self-righteous with your "opinions". Waste your energy to comment on things you DO like cause no one wants to hear your crybaby "opinions" about a popcorn disaster film.

Oh yeah, this 2012 looks awesome and I cannot wait to see it!

I actually look forward to movies about the destruction of humanity, because the truth is that the only explosions of our lives usually happen into a tissue a foot from our keyboard. Proof being the majority of the comment are left in PM hours or just after midnight. No one is out slaying beavers and blowing shit up. These movies are an escape that does not need very much focus, due to lack of deep plot, but is a hell of a lot less placid than the blow up sheep with the lipstick. Shit I dropped my Jergen's.

Let's see... every one of this guy's movies that I've seen were worthless pieces of trash, so yeah, I think I'll skip this too.

Did you HEAR the way that guy said "Are mish-in is to in-shure the continooidy of are speesheez." ??? He sounded like a freaking retard. No amount of special effects is worth hearing that line again, much less all of the other cliche crap in the film.

looks like War of the Worlds minus the aliens and adding natural disasters...
hm. not interested.

Is it just me or do the ships they're building to ensure the "continuity of the species" look a LOT like a Battlestar from the old Galactica series?

Cash sez: "I find it poetic that JFK takes out the Obama white house. We can only hope he was in the oval office when these two legacies came to a crashing conclusion."

Except that mr glover is aping the cowardly teleprez and fleeing in the Air Force One that was being smashed into goo in this cine-Turd trailer. I wait for the youtube of his watery demise. that is a keeper!

Screw the concept of 'Natural Disasters' here, it's all mans fault for polluting the air with CO2! Because of that the lawns are growing out of control! Trees are getting bigger! Weeds are popping up in all the cracks in the concrete!!!! Green things are EVERYWHERE!!! Mother earth is choking on the Greeen! Lady Gaia is not pleased and must rid the world of us nasty humans who pollute the ground and air with CO2 by taking a big ass piss on us all!

-IT IS 2012!-

...it took over 30+ years to out-date 2001. This director one up Stanley by out-dating himself in less then THREE!

And what the hells the deal with the rolling top of the church?! The dome is supported by gravity vertically. Set on the side and it COLLAPSES!!

I am disapoint

Just another feel-good-about-the-end-of-civilization movie... I'll wait for the DVD

OMG is it real
