AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Micitype Pretty Good

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Theodor 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.

terryyy Although I would be slightly inclined to agree with kranav's comment, I still feel that the History Channel did a fairly good job delving into this topic as it is very controversial. To be quite honest, I was hoping it would be longer than it was.There is always one person saying "I can predict the next 500 years and I'm sure we'll be able to match an event up with at least on my predictions", the different is, Nostradamus has accurate predictions. Although his method with his drawings may seem ambiguous to some, there can only be so much that they can define. If someone is able to match up an event that has taken place or and event that will take place with his Quatrains then the only thing you can really do is consider it a possibility. All I can say is, be open to the possibilities when watching this movie and don't think that Dec 21st 2012 will be the end of the world as it can also be start of a new beginning.

Jan Rijkaard 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.

kranav 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.
