Nostradamus: 2012

On a scale 1 to 10 i'd give this movie a -1 (a mean MINUS one). It's a complete waste of time, more yet it's an insult to one's intelligence. Those quatrains they keep on quoting could mean anything, but no, they just had to interpret it their way. No one could ever decipher a quatrain to actually predict anything. It is a complete idiotic film, it doesn't even worth the value of the disc it is printed on. Those lunatic, drug-addicted people sees disasters everywhere and anywhere. I think the only disaster it's (in) their heads. This film is such a mess i don't know where it begins and where it ends. There are absolutely no narrative guidelines, just some patched flash-episodes stitched together. The mixing of the antique cultures is incredibly awful and the decoding of the Nostradamus' lost pictures is so hilarious that it won't foul not even a 3 year old kid. I wish i could write more about this movie but i'm simply out of words. Don't waste your time on this movie, not even if you got a death wish.

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.

I found this program to be more comical than entertaining. It basically tries to scare people that the world is going to end in 2012 through repetition, if you keep telling someone that it's true. eventually people will believe it, that is what this program is attempting. There are no real facts or any kind of academic research. 5 minutes of real content is reworded over one and half hour...

All the people in the film are basically fictional authors who make money off scaring people. Odds are these people will jump onto the next 'end of world' fad once 2012 pass without event.

One of the authors even goes as far as to use a Star Trek metaphor...I actually wanted to punch him in the face.

A documentary clearly made to stir fear and uncertainty. No scientific basis or common sense to it. Nostradamus's quatrains have no predictive power whatsoever, but a lot postdictive one, as people reinterpret them to fit historical events that have already happened. This documentary just dwells on the most sensationalistic aspects of Nostradamus's nonsense, letting imagination go unrestrained on the basis of some verses that can be interpreted to fit just about any event.

In a nutshell, this is an almost worthless program. No doubt the History Channel will be making money out of it (which is of course the idea) because of the many gullible viewers out there who have yet to develop any critical thinking. However, the seriousness and credibility of the History Channel are now seriously besmirched.

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.
