New Hampshire professor Charles H. Hapgood developed the 1958 earth crest displacement (ECD) theory, and the recently released film "2012"s writers Roland Emmerich and Harald Kloser did a fascinating job of bringing this theory to the big screen.
In 2009, American geologist Adrian Helmsley (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor) traveled to India to visit his fried Dr. Satnam Tsurutani (played by Jim Mistry) who gives a fancy analysis about a solar flare that has put the world in danger. Adrian takes this information back to DC after traveling twenty hours straight, crashes a black tie party and demands to speak with a very rude White House Chief of Staff Carl Anheuser (Oliver Platt). But after Carl hears Adrian's confidential information, Adrian becomes very valuable to the government and to the United States President Thomas Wilson (played by Danny Glover). I did a victory dance in my seat knowing the president wasn't just black in the movies but in real life too. Too bad the end of the world was near—in the movie, that is.
Within the next three years, "2012" viewers meet other important people who are also finding out about this confidential information—a divorced father and author named Jackson Curtis (played by John Cusack), a wacky but intelligent conspiracy theorist radio host named Charlie Frost (played by Woody Harrelson), Jackson's ex-wife Kate Curtis (played by Amanda Peet) and her new husband and plastic surgeon Gordon Silberman (played by Thomas McCarthy), the president's daughter Laura Wilson (played by Thandie Newton), boxer and billionaire Yuri Karpov (played by Zlatko Buric) and more.
Only twelve people were supposed to know about the earth ending in 2012, and some of the others who find out and try to inform the rest of society are killed mysteriously. Meanwhile the government is trying to fix the issue and build arks to rescue 400,000 elite. Of course other billionaires are given the opportunity to purchase a rescue ticket for one billion euros each.

Wait Miko, I didn't mean "horrifying" in that sense. Not like horror film scary, but more like the way people would say "How horrible" when a bad situation happens. I didn't leave frightened. Go see it!
Hmm, I really want to check out this movie, but I am a punk and since you said it scared you more than Paranormal Activity, I may just have to enjoy this from your review. I guess we shall see what really will happen in Dec of 2012...I hope this movie doesn't become reality because I've just started to live!
Thank you I will be going to see this film after this article.
Oh yes! I saw it. I loved 2012 because of it's near-3D graphics and effects (awesome rides without going to Six Flags) and because of the unpredictable twists within the plot line - it was not quite as predictable as I expected. Worth the ticket price? Yep!
Lynn, did you see it? What did you think of it?
High 5 indeed :)
