Everything in the movie is based on an Internet hoax with no basis in fact. Beware of any interpretations. Nobody knows if they are correct without having evidence that proves them beyond reasonable doubt. However, there *is* evidence that lots of young people are becoming genuinely scared about what they have been told *will* happen in December 2012. Shame on those people who are making money from the scam. Normally I would agree that a disaster movie is just a movie. This one is different - they have identified an actual date in the future when it *will* happen. Google: "2012 end of world" - you get 17,200,000 hits; search Amazon books for “2012 mayan” in the title - you get 339 hits. The majority of the websites and books will be adamant that there will be worldwide disaster, or even the end of the world, on December 21, 2012. However, ask them for evidence of it and they won't be able to supply it. They have 'blind faith' in theories that don't have a basis in fact.
