Trailer:






It does look like an awesome movie, I'll give it that. And the sci-fi/thriller/mystery genre is one of my favorites in both films and novels.
Great.
My sister is also fully intent on going to see it in the theater.
Cool.

I was right along there with her until, in the trailer, someone says, "What happens when the numbers run out?"


CRAP.
This is an apocalypse movie?!

Yeah. So...
I'm not going to go see it. I haven't even made it to my 25th birthday yet, and all these movies and documentaries are coming out about the supposed apocalypse in 2012.
NO! Why?!

I've been looking forward to a solar eclipse in 2012 since elementary school. Is this what they're talking about? I thought we had gotten past the "Oh my god, the end of days is here! The sun went out!" type thing. Right?
So, if it isn't the eclipse, is it before? after?

This whole thing terrifies me, and I most definitely will not pay for an addition to that terror.
