The intro really set me off. It has nothing to do with the movie, but just a backdrop for names. The sound quality is horrible and is very amateur for a movie of this caliber. The plot isn't very good either as it starts with an excavation site with the Mayan's and them believing in Christianity. What does that have to do with 2012? Nothing. I would go watch 2012, not 2012: Doomsday. Was this review helpful? If you submit feedback on this review in the future, we will overwrite your previous feedback.

I read some other reviews from folks expecting the preacher or priest to always be the evil villain. Those kind always see what they want to see in Christianity if you ask me, decent flick overall.

I liked Cliff de Young in the Love series and expected that this movie would be wonderful because he was in it. The acting was bad. The dialogue was amateurish and stupid, often with contradictory ideas contained within one sentence, so that even Cliff de Young's acting looked pitiful. I laughed out loud when one actress said that the president was evacuating the entire west coast, the earth's rotation had slowed, causing catastrophes all over the world and the end of the world, but her father wanted her to go north to Oklahoma where she would be safe. There was also a statement that European Christians had been in Mexico long before Christopher Columbus. After watching the first half of the movie, I turned it off. It was worse than an old 1950s B grade.
The people who put this movie together must have been a bunch of college kids who, even though they had good intentions, are not very talented. They put together the Mayan 2012 Doomsday calendar with the Rapture plus End of the World belief held by Eschatologist Christians. The Roman Catholic Church and most mainline protestant denominations (of which I am a member) do not believe the end of the world will occur as a Rapture and a Tribulation period. Belief in the Rapture is mostly confined to Fundamentalists and other Evangelicals. After Christianity became the official religion of Rome in the fourth century CE, this belief was declared a heresy and suppressed. The idea of a Rapture was reintroduced in 1830 by John N. Darby, a minister of the Church of Ireland.
Regardless of whether one believes in the Rapture or not, the movie was amateurish. It was so bad that I tried to get my money back from the rental store. Was this review helpful? If you submit feedback on this review in the future, we will overwrite your previous feedback. Sign in | ||
