What happens when you put science and spirituality together? You get one answer: 2012. Five years from now, it is predicted that the world would meet its doomsday at the hands of the Almighty- although, the film unfortunately concentrates on the destructive aspect of the situation- as you can infer from the trailer below- the untold horror that is going to dawn on humanity at an alarmingly precise date as well as time: 21 st December 2012 at 11:11 am UTC. Firstly, the date and time itself is a mix of the numbers 0, 1 and 2 (21/12/12 @ 11:11) which is either extremely alarming or exceedingly co-incident (as the critics put it (I hate critics)). But after all, the film goes far beyond what the Mayans, who are behind this prophecy, had foretold- with special effects (that transcend imagination) that crush Rome (beneath the Chapel), shake the unfortunate Jesus statue @ Rio in Brazil to bits as well as drown the Himalayas and White House in a sea of ocean water, don't forget the train eind thrown into oblivion or the Merc C Class roaring out of the back of the plane. Now for the reality behind this situation, God help us. Even science is not denying it. With an 'anything's possible' tag, they have treated 2012 with utmost caution. Reasons varying from Pole Shifts which could cause intense magnetic radiation that burns our communication system; to Aliens, to Asteroids hitting the earth, to the Sun Spot Cycle to the Mayan Calender, to the Particle Accelerator in CERN (Even them?!!!) which might go wrong and spin off deadly mini-black holes, to a super volcano in Yellowstone National Park and what not? (For more details visit this link 2012: The World WILL End or Google Search (TM) ). Many people might debunk this as a rumour but I (being remotely sadistic) would like to see how mankind has the guts to predict its own end. So we wait till the movie unfolds on November 13th 2009 in India and the rest of the world. Until then ;-) its Bye from me.
