Nostradamus: 2012

Don't we know the really stereotype movie trailers that are all made the same way:

• a man with a deep voice "narrates" what the film is about, but actually makes sentences of pseudo-important platitude and nonsensical statements and questions;

• an over-dramatic background music (drums, horns, yes, even choirs!), suggesting a drama and greatness that later proves to be a forgettable popcorn movie;

• hundreds of small and rapid cuts in a two-minute trailer, bits of pictures and scenes that you are supposed to make sense of.

And now, dear audience, we extend this bad habit of the film industry to full-feature size! The background music never stops, and the "narrator" is only interrupted by tiny incoherent statements from pseudo-experts - who tell us what? I couldn't summarize the hard facts as there were almost none.

According to my principle that every movie gets 30 minutes to prove itself, this was shut down exactly after that period. It's a waste of time. Go read some good books, even about Nostradamus if you want.

Don't get me wrong History is one of the best broadcasting channel on television but the documentaries shown are somewhat inclined to only view the other side of the spectrum is not mentioned. This is almost true for Nostradamus 2012. It gives a revelation of the upcoming catastrophic events before and in the year 2012 as predicted by the prophet Nostradamus. Although on paper this sounds compelling but the theories produced are not practical in nature. I ask, why are all the predictions about are future so dire and disturbing? Year 2012 is no different from any other the views put forward don't have any scientific backing. Is a decent view but should not be taken as the truth.

if you like a pseudo science and hour and a half maybes then this is a movie for you. the people they interview are not scientists and they are talking a lot of crap through out the movie. every prophecy by notradamus (which is already very vague) is explained with a maybe this maybe that, basically, after watching this movie i learned only one thing - people are able to interpret everything into anything. some of their facts are wrong (the bible codes have been widely discussed and refuted), they talk about pictures and connect them to something that we know today (spiral in the book??? no!! nostradamus knew that is out galaxy!! what a genius).

if you need to kill time without learning anything this is a movie for you. if you don't want to destroy your brain, don't watch this.

btw - i'm also a prophet - i see that 2012 will be like the other end days people foretold (2006, 2000, 1999 and so on). i can also see that the people who made this movie (which already say their not sure) will make another movie and find another date to hang on too.

Center of the galaxy and Nostradamus - at the time of Nostradamus (1503-1566) wasn't even concept of the galaxy. "Flat Earth centre of the universe" was the major heavily guarded by church idea at that time. Giordano Bruno was burnt for "the Earth revolves around the sun" statement by bible fanatics in 1600.

The Milky Way galaxy has 100 billion stars with planets - millions of them aligning with the centre of the galaxy at any given moment. It's not a big f***ing deal! Nostradamus catrenes - just read them in their original language, they are written in such fuzzy symbolic language that you can put any meaning you like in their interpretation.

Just another lunatic "end of the world" raving waste of resources. I can't believe it's sponsored by History Channel.

Weak title, it has a lot of interesting information, but the way it is presented made me quite angry. I don't like when me as a viewer is believed to be a sheep.

Some things that should be explained by physicist are explained by astrologist and some things are explained WAY too many times.

In total there is interesting information, but there are also some weird assumptions that sound like "It is like that, because it is like that" It seems they lack ideas and information to present so they have filled up these one and half hour by presenting same information many many many times.

I suggest if you are interested in Nostredamus prediction and 2012 doomsday prediction you stick to wikipedia. You won't lose as much IQ doing some reading. I give four points because i liked some of animated scenes and part about Freemasons.
