Provide a brief description of the film/program's story plot for our readers 

Well, we all have some acquaintance with the film 2012, either by having seen it (as I did without preparation) or by that savage promotion campaign.

What is your personal opinion of this film/program, as entertainment?  

I think it is evil. An artistically poor attempt to use the Mayan prediction for producing a terror experience linked to global change.

What is your personal opinion of this film/program as a social and/or cultural message? Does it succeed or fail in this regard? 

What I find most disturbing is the implicit argument stating that no matter what we do, we can't stop global change for happening and only the fittest and luckiest will survive. It 's just capitalist propaganda.

What impact do you feel the movie will likely have on the way people worldwide will perceive the Mayan Calendar? 

It will reduce the message to a simple prediction from a ancient culture

Would you recommend this film/program to your family, friends and colleagues? Why or why not? 

Not at all. It is terrorism.

What would you like to say to the film's director, and/or the production studio? 

With such an amazing production machinery, you could easily find better things to do. Why no trying the real climate change problem?

("2012" only) Roland Emmerich is allegedly planning a television series "post 2012". What do you think of this idea? 

Please, don't.
