The End is Near?

I really love action movies that have sci-fi or psychological thriller-like twists. However, new film 2012 (release date 11/13/09) makes me pause and wonder. I don't believe anybody knows when the earth will end but it is definitely interesting that throughout time a common theme surfaced more than once. I know this happens often and it is always easier to take a retrospective look to find patterns and coincidences. Even still, I think some people will be bracing themselves for the 2012 "deadline" much like they did for Y2K. Some people think the world will end that day while other think there will be a shift in consciousness.

Here's a blurb by Jonathan Crow about this Roland Emmerich film:
Few people have destroyed the world more than Roland Emmerich. In his mega-hit "Independence Day," aliens laid waste to pretty much every metropolitan center on the planet, and in his eco-thriller "The Day After Tomorrow," much of the northern hemisphere finds itself buried under ice. In his third crack at presenting the apocalypse, this fall's "2012," Emmerich taps into the angst of thousands of astrologers, doomsday enthusiasts, and conspiracy theorists who fear that a massive cataclysm will strike the earth on December 21 of that year. Yet unlike previous dates tied to the Earth's expiration, this one has its roots in various sources throughout history including interpretations of the Mayan calendar, astrology, and the ancient Chinese fortune-telling text the "I-Ching."
