Yeah I saw that a while ago, but now their Hollywoodizing it!

Damn...
I still like the first trailer better though, the unknown element.

Rather impressive

It looks stupid.

It's going to be a roller coaster of eye candy, but then again it's Roland Emmerich so I'm holding my breath on how the actual story shapes up.

The trailer paints a picture of an over the top struggle between Man and Nature/God (not sure which yet), which will end with either the family surviving, "against the odds", or dead, but together in one final, heart-felt embrace before a giant wave (or something like it) crushes them beneath an aircraft carrier (which looked very funny, in an incredibly ridiculous sort of way). So, yes, the movie looks ****ing stupid.

So how would you go about making it then? If you wanted to make some cash and yet maintain some sort of respectful script to shut the critics up? how would you do it?

I would focus solely on the family and the struggles that they actually face instead of showcasing just how much money was potentially wasted on special effects.

[Tired and more to be added later]

Cool effects, but the basis of the movie is so painfully stupid it makes Twilight look brilliant.

This type of film-making has a rotten heart. Many people believe in the Mayan calender BS and those that don't will look it up and be influenced by this film, which will just serve to fill the coffers of grubby suits in Hollywood. I almost wish people will commit mass suicide so Hollywood takes a good look at it's fear-mongering and people become less susceptible to this hokey phrophecy nonsense, but thats probably unlikely (I hope). There's disaster movies, and there's playing on people's beliefs. When you have an apocalyptic scene of the Vatican collapsing you feed both Christian and the mayan visions of the end times. Alot of people believe in one or the other, if not both. This type of hysteria-fed movie-making (and it's only 2009 now) is a kid playing with his dad's gun- sooner or later it'll end badly.

Also, did I see an... air-lifted giraffe?!?

Aren't you giving the influential powers of movies a bit too much credit, and the average human too little?
