Have you watched the movie 2012 yet? I haven't but tonight I am going to the cinema to watch it. Most probably we will be watching the midnight movies since this is the only time when I can spend time with my husband. He's been busy working from Monday to Saturday and I am quite sad because I am lonely and only have him on Saturday evening and Sunday, that's all.
One of my husband's friends at work told him he read somewhere in the newspaper that the world is really going to an end by 2012. It is terrifying indeed. With all the natural disaster happening around the world, e.g. hurricane, tsunami and earthquake, I think it is not impossible. But I really hope it is not going to happen while I am still alive because I am very scared to face with the doomsday.
What do you think?

we wont know until we get to that day and stuff so we have to wait and see until that day comes hoefully everythng will ok and it will be just like every other day [munchiez117]
Yeah, just hope it would turn around to be just alright. [ladysurvivor]
no yar i too not yet watched the movie,but from my friends i heared the story of that movie its just as it happened real.including more graphics and horror.but i doesn't believe that the world is going to end,all those are rumours.like this happened many many times.my mother said me that during their childhood also once a news came upon like this that the world is going to end,and all the people spent over their money and enjoyed all luxeries thinking that however they are going to die they met all all their friends,relatives and enjoyed,but it doesn;t happen and they all are still alive now.how crazy the things happen.may be this also just similar to that situation.however don't worry whatever happens to be happened thats it. [ashwini0816]
I just don't want it to happen while I am still alive because it must be so terrifying. [ladysurvivor]
i dnt think bcoz i just belive in reality. i dnt belive in astrology. i just belive to get a best future & improve present for it. i think that believing in movies & living in fear is not a really a thinking of successive & practical person. icnt belive this [theemergingstar]
Doomsday will happen, only the time we don't know because it is the hands of God. May God have mercy on you. Amin. [ladysurvivor]
As others have said only GOD knows. The world has become pretty darn evil in the past 10 years and alot of people place much more happiness at the hands of technology than they do helping others and being a blessing. We should not forget to ask God to bless US so WE can be a blessing to OTHERS. [muscles4me]
As long as we are called human being, evil is always with us because besides us are always the Satan, and if not them, it is our lust and desire to achieve what we want. In the process of achieving, many of us never mattered 'how' we achieved it. The earth is weeping from our own evil doing. [ladysurvivor]
Noone knows when the world is going to end. I am a Christian and I believe the bible is God's word. There is a verse in there that says noone but the Father (God) knows the time, not even the angels or the Son (Jesus Christ). I think the movie is about as true as War of the Worlds was and has only succeeded in allowing the crazy people who believe they can predict the future to scare the daylights out of people. [carpenter5]
Amen to that! Um...no pun intended. blush Plus, don't forget, there is a thriving industry which has as its sole goal scaring the poojies out of people to get money/power. Think of AlGore, if you don't agree. Or just think of your average Hollywood disaster film--can you say "lucrative?" I knew you could! lol Maggiepie "WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?" [Maggiepie]
I have seen a feature on Discovery and they have provided the facts behind 2012 and Maya culture. I think some part is correct but world is not going to end on 2012. I just have watched this movie on http://online-movies.cona.in/ [sheelgohe]
I feel a bit relieved seeing you write about it. I've read about the Maya calender too and many predicted that it is the end of time, and a big change will happen on that year but some people predicted it is going to the end of the world. But some others think it is just the end of the calender count and there will be a new shift in the way we think as a civilization. I have to stop now because I want to get ready to watch the movie. Last night I didn't get to watch it, the cinemas fully booked. Lol. Yesterday my husband bought the ticket for today, and we got to sit fourth seat from the screen. Lol. Thanks for the info. I'll get back to the others after this. Bye. [ladysurvivor]
For me, we dont know when is the end of the world or when is the judgment day... Coming of Jesus Christ is like a surprise.. All we have to do is to prepare everyday, prepare ourselves to whatever happens coz we really dont know..Pray to God always and ask forgiveness to our sins.. [schatzilizzie]
After watching the 2012 movie I become more aware of what will happen if we don't take a global action in preventing the earth from being destroyed. It is true that the earth has a deadline. Only the lucky people will survive, and even that there is no guarantee anyone would survive if the world is really to end. I still hope it would not happen in the near future. I am too scared to face it. [ladysurvivor]
I don't belive the world is going to end. Even the Mayans have confirmed that. I truly believe that 2012 is more or else a new begining...its a time for change. I also believe that the media will hype it up just like they did with the y2k to increase market sales. [manalji]
Y2k issue is nothing compared to this one. This is about life or death, and about the trauma we are going to face IF we survive. Even if the movie is just a movie, God... I am really affected anyway. I don't mean I believe the exact date of 21st December 2012 will be the end of world, but the dilemma of waiting and not knowing is somehow making me nervous. [ladysurvivor]
No one knows when the world is going to end. Only God knows and I doubt that HE will decide to end it in 2012 because of some Mayan or Nostrodomus prediction. In fact I am sure that HE will make doubly sure that the world does not end in 2012 to prove HIS POWER. First the gospel has to be preached to the ends of the Earth, and then all his elect has to be gathered from the four corners of the earth and that has not happened yet. As for the natural disasters, it says there will be wars and rumors of wars and natural disasters in diverse places, so that proves that all is in God's Hands and it is not the natural disasters that will determine it, but the conversion of those whom God chose for HIS elect. [suspenseful]
We are waiting for the great persecution of us Christians and for Satan to be loosened from his bounds and allowed to wreck havocon the earth. It also says that only God knows when the end comes and besides since in God's eyes, a thousand years is as one day and one day as a thousand years, we do not know whether that day that Satan is loosed how long will that continue. All I know is that the gospel must be preached all over the earth and all the children of God accounted for. [suspenseful]
We will have to wait and see. I personally don't think the world will end, but it might change somehow. Maybe the world will change on it axis or start spinning in the opposite direction. That alone would create many changes for the world to deal with. When something ends, something else begins. [royal52gens]
And in the process of change, we all are going to be deadly affected. [ladysurvivor]
I have not seen the movie yet. Though I have heard that the Mayan calendar has predicted that such year would be the end of the world. However, I really do not believe on such. Perhaps something big will happen in that year, but not the end. Many things are happening now as you can see a lot of calamities are affecting the world and this are all part of change. The world will continue and of course will continue to change. [jpso138]
Changes need sacrifice and I hope it is not our lives. Amin. Not for now, at least. I am certain the world is going to end but it is a matter of time that only God knows. [ladysurvivor]
Apparently there is no cause of such happening. However, i dont believe also that this nice world will going to met an end so soon. Dont believe these. Have a great day. [borhan]
Thanks, since it is so comforting. Even though there is a huge alarm around the world, like the hurricanes, tsunamis and earthquakes, landslides everywhere, I just hope the earth is able to repair itself and not collapse in the near future. At least not when I am still alive. I don't want to live when the doom is happening, particularly because in Islam there are no true Muslim believers left when it happens. Only the non-believer and the munafiquns are left to experience this. [ladysurvivor]
The movie maker is just trying for commercial success! no one is intelligent enough to predict the end of world. its just a hyip and and the producer of this movie is trying to capitalize on it. If the world has to end it can end today or tomorrow or may be some day beyond 2012... no one really knows! [earncommunity]
Off-topic (sorry), but I love your avatar, & I'd love to know where you found it! Please tell me! Oh, & I totally agree with what you wrote. happy Maggiepie "WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?" [Maggiepie]
They really made this movie a huge controversy. I've watched the movie. And seeing what happened there, it would be really sad and scary if it will really happen. But I honestly don't want to believe it. I have a strong faith. [rhan04]
I don't want to believe it too, but deep in my heart something is whispering 'maybe' it will happen based on scientific evidence... but still I am hoping it would not happen in the near future. [ladysurvivor]
Predicting things isn't a good idea. God knows what is going to happen after few seconds. If there were people who were so good into predicting and telling what is going to happen in future, they would have stopped so many big incidents from happening. They could have predicted the killing of great world leaders and we could have saved them. It's nothing but to seek people's attention. There are things people will never have control on and predicting the future is one of them. [ehsanji]
Well, while rare, there are prophets; their proclamations have been verified by coming true. None of them were in Hollywood, though...rolleyeswink Maggiepie "WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?" [Maggiepie]
..Hi ladysurvivor, I seriously have no idea if the world is going to end in 2012, and I think that only God knows. I do know this much, we are living in the last days, as you mentioned, all the things that are going on, in the bible it speaks of wars and rumors of wars as a sign of the end coming, but it also says I think, that no man knows when that day will come. So I don't worry myself about the day or year the world will end, I have not seen the movie, maybe I'll watch it maybe I won't. But overall, this conversation about 2012 that everyone is talking about reminds me of the 2000 fears of everything being out of synch and people stocking up on food and water and nothing but nothing happened. So it may be the same in 2012, we just have to wait and see. I am trying, like your name says to survive day to day. Take it easy. [artistry]
....Hi again ladysurvivor, best advice would be for everyone to live today as if was the last day of your life. That way whatever it is that you want to do, you will do it and not care that it is going to end that day. Be happy. Suppose you have a heart attack before 2012 gets here. So why worry about something that man says is going to take place. Do it today! [artistry]
well it has been solved.the world will not end on dec 12 2012....Ann martin docotoral candidate in cornel university astronomy department point out that the Mayan calendar was supposed to be cyclical so the fact the long count comes to an end in dec 12 2012 is really of no consequence [Dhinilshanker]
IF the prediction is based solely on the Mayan calendar, then it's a huge relief. But what about the scientific signs such as all the natural disasters? [ladysurvivor]
I didn't know that there is such a movie, and I want to watch it too. And I believe that 2012 prophecy came from Nostradamus or some other prophets. But their prophecy that their believers believe to have come true like the 9/11 are vague, so I can not believe that they are right, But this one they gave a date but because of my faith to something else I don't believe it. but really who knows when is the end of the world. It's not impossible, so I think I would watch the movie if it's available here. [JDy116]
Oh, it's just another in a long list of disaster films from Hollywood. Pay no attention to the hype. I will say that, judging from the trailers, it looks extremely well-done, so if you're not terrified by the ultra-realistic special effects, you must be dead already! lol The date doesn't come from Nostradamus, by the way, but from the Mayan calendar, which covers a long time period, then begins recycling itself on that date. The Mayans thought of that time as a renewing time, not the end of the world, according to some experts. Anyway, as Suspenseful pointed out, if one believes in God, then one knows the world ends, but not when. Maggiepie "WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?" [Maggiepie]
NO the world is not about to end it is the bad people will end please read the bible in psalm 37:9-10 all bad people will dead. But it is happened in the time will we don't know because it has no exact date. [ebuscat]
I agree to your idea that only God knows when doomsday will happen. The only thing that worries me doesn't have anything to do with the Mayan calender (after watching 2012 the movie). I am worried if the scientist do find scientific discoveries that shows signs of the world going to end soon. Scientific is fact and facts are scary because it is usually true. [ladysurvivor]
Don't be afraid. "Experts" disagree on the meaning of the Mayan calendar, & some say those who believe the doomsday end are missing other Mayan texts which say that the calendar simply represents a "renewal" or "rebirth" sat that point. Anyway, just live your life like there's no tomorrow (because all of us go sometime, usually when we least expect to! lol), & trust in God. There's no death, for all practical purposes, if you do those things. And as for the film? It's horribly scary--don't take your kids. But that kind of film, which Hollywood loves because it rakes in the money, is fun, so long as you remember it's only a fantasy. Maggiepie "WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?" [Maggiepie]
NO - sheesh its just like all the doomsayers in 2000 == total nonsense. just an excuse to make a blow up the world movie. [cometkatt]
so i was going to come and ask you if you'd seen it yet and if you think you may have nightmares? but reading some of these i see you are going today, so hopefully you will let us know something about it? lol my mom said years ago that from what was gleened from nostrodomus stories it seemed it would be in the 3000's yrs. hope she was right. we will be long gone then. rolleyes [bunnybon7]
Yeah, I've watched the movie, and it was very scary indeed. Nowhere to go, and everybody dies. The only people who survived in the film will never survive in the real world because it is an impossible situation. After watching it I admit I was really imagining things turning to collapse in front of my eyes, like the roads sinking down, and the tall buildings collapsing just like that, it's like a trauma even after watching a film. I wonder how it would be if it really happens in real life. Just hope it doesn't happen now or in my lifetime. [ladysurvivor]
It's going to end, yeah; just like yesterday ended. [mythman]
Ha ha. At least you have that sense of humor. Thanks. [ladysurvivor]
A) the world ending on 2012 is based on a misinterpretation of the Mayan calendar. If we are to even believe such things, it should be mentioned that the Mayan calender called for a great change and a re-birth, not the end of time, and B)It is likely that if something bad is going to happen that year, particularly on that December something or other, 2012 date, it is most likely because someone in power or enough of the common folk got paranoid and through self-fulfilling prophecy make the bad stuff happen. dr... [DavidReedy]
That's scary. It is beyond my imagination, yet it is scary. [ladysurvivor]
its is shown in movie 2012 that the is not true.there are many thing world will end in 2012 .but there are many events before the doomsday that have to occur.therefore assuming that world will end in 2012 is not true. [drilyas]
Yeah, I hope so. In Islam we have to wait until all the big signs happen and now only the small signs had happened. But it is terrifying because I think all the small signs had already happened and we are just waiting for the big ones. Imagine that. I don't exactly believe it would be the exact date but the anticipation of not knowing the truth is making me nervous... Hope that no big signs will happen in my lifetime. [ladysurvivor]
i dont think its like that.although climatic changes will occur.but end is not that early [drilyas]
