- Adrian (Chiwetel Ejiofor) arrives at the Ark, but receives a call from Satnam… | Buy or rent 2012 here: amzo.in/movie/...
Dr. Adrian Helmsley, part of a worldwide geophysical team investigating the effect on the earth of radiation from unprecedented solar storms, learns that the earth's core is heating up. He warns U.S. President Thomas Wilson that the crust of the earth is becoming unstable and that without proper preparations for saving a fraction of the world's population, the entire race is doomed. Meanwhile, writer Jackson Curtis stumbles on the same information. While the world's leaders race to build "arks" to escape the impending cataclysm, Curtis struggles to find a way to save his family. Meanwhile, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes of unprecedented strength wreak havoc around the world.

Very touching and loyal from the indian professor to call his friend not for blaming on the fact that he and his family weren't pick up, but to allert him on a new wave coming and to say goodbye. RESPECT.
This is far from Reality about Indian-Indians (not American- Indians) bro. You don't know us Indians. We Complain a lot...😂😂😂 We still hold Grudges against WHITE MEN. and we are secretly Huge @$$ Rasists.😂 And yes Indians Hate MUSLIMS Christians and Tribal Minorities...😂😂😂 Man we are hard to understand.....
mobile networks are pretty robust
Yet I still wonder why didn’t he call him sooner to ask why the airlift hasn’t come
He called to say how he misses dirty streets of Delhi and curry.. Oh, blame me😂😂😂
@josephmeza8835pretty sure he tried to call there’s one scene but he ignores the call
my toxic trait is thinking i could swim and survive that
😂😂same🤦♂️😂😂
All you really need is a plank of wood and you could surf that thing
You fool
I got floaties so I can make it
Nah, I'd swim
Every single person on those arks owes Satnam their lives; if he hadn't called Adrian and warned him about the tidal wave, the arks would have been caught unprepared, and it's very likely that no one would have survived the resulting impact. So when you think about it, Satnam ended up saving the human race from extinction!
Saved them twice.
Akshit's & pooja's taking one for the team, how noble of them to finally make a positive contribution to the human race for once
@sirgs5662They did lots of good things for the human race but centuries of interracial marriages diluted the genes that made them great contributors in the first place
what i dont get is why not close the doors and stay in the mountain
TWICE! 🥺
Satnam's family scene lives rent free in my mind, it's so sad. He did so much to save others, and when it came for him to be saved, he was just one of the forgotten masses. That part makes it super realistic, and he and his family quietly facing death with dignity is very human.
That was the scene that traumatised me as a kid
This how for real how the government treat us
I would get dreams of rhat and dive under.
Its all fun and games until they need the workers they left behind to repair the Arks.
the workers got in when all the people tried to get on the arks, you could see workers in the crowd
Everyone wants to be a captain of industry, but forgets that someone needs to scrub the toilets - Bioshock
TBF they definitely didn't intend for the arks to be long-term on their own anyway since you see that they are immediately heading towards an island at the end of the movie but still.
Somebody is going to have to be both willing and skilled enough to build any new infrastructure afterwards and it sure as hell isn't going to be several ships worth of by the numbers suburbanites and 1%'ers
All the billionaires will certainly be willing to put in the work to survive and rebuild I’m sure! After all their work ethic is billions of times greater than the average person. They’re definitely not useless leeches or anything like that
That, and then they fail to realize they don't have the necessary manpower and qualified people to build new buildings for a new civilization. That's the problem with prioritizing the rich, very few of them are capable of actually doing some of the most important jobs despite the fact they have the money for that type of knowledge.
It’s ominous, scary and dramatic to see a mountain-sized tsunami like that.
That’s not any mountain it’s mount everest
@TIMMEH41969 I'm not talking about mountains. I'm talking about the tsunami the size of a mountain.
🌊
@MassimoCalderaro-u8hThey were saying that is Mount Everest (The highest mountain on Planet Earth) meaning that the wave is higher then all of mountains on the planet. They were agreeing with you that it is ominous it is so large.
@theorangeturtle3683 I'm just saying that end-of-the-world-looking tsunami looks mountain-sized.
I love how satnam decided to call his friend and tell him his last goodbyes instead of complaining how he didn’t get picked up
True Homie never held it against him for it
He knew they only knew about the first wave but not the second so he called him to warn him about it.
This is one of my favorite scenes in the movie. Satnam not getting picked up was hearbreaking. And when Helmsley says Satnam didn't get picked up and the other guy says "What?" in just pure shock. And then that moment when the man turns to check out the coutdown clock, that is a great visual! The way he turns to the camera and then walks forward is such a good cinema moment.
Yes! Good thematic filmmaking is getting rarer nowadays.
Always decent people who get screwed. The one's who do their best and have humility get glossed over. When Adrian talks about getting 10 people in his cabin, it sorta reminds me of the scene when Schindler takes off his party badge and says that could have equalled more lives. Sometimes less really is more
@nopublicbathroom no it isnt. youre just not looking for it.
I'd honestly watch a TV series called "2013" in how they rebuild civilization after that.
@sirsaint88 - Never heard of it, but I'll look for it! Sounds interesting.
I read that it wasn't a tsunami it was an entire ocean being displaced ....thats absolutely 😳😳😳
Pretty much yeah, the whole continental plates were collapsing
Wisconsin, USA, has become the South Pole, and pilot Sasha mentioned that the entirety of Eurasia has moved 2,000 km. We must remap the world.
i still went to school that morning
@chkchk56 how is bro alive!?!?
@잉어인간I think it was the central Wisconsin airport that became the South Pole, and somewhere around where Sri Lanka used to exist is the North Pole.
5:52 that part of the father and son praying breaks my heart....
Same here 💔
I’m crying hard😢😢😢😭😭😭😭💔
Yeah but its a movie. None of it actually happened
@CommonSensePrudenceor so you think.....
@Northeastcorridorprodcutions It just a movie it did not happen hahahahaha cry baby
That "Goodbye my Friend" hits so hard every time
Poor Satnam. Also, the Queen and her precious Corgis. Damn it.
The fact that the bedrooms/rooms could fit more than 2 or so people is mindblowing to me. Ik that it would be crowded and what not, but you should want to invite the workers and other people of professions like doctors, engineers, farmers, scientists, etc onto the ship to further “ensure the continuity of your species”. Like make it make sense people 🤣
Brave of you to assume that the leaders of the world and the rich fucks give a rats ass about our species. They just want to save their asses. The smart people they take are simply there to keep tech and science going for their benefit.
Why not the engineers and workers who built the ark?
@Thethirdshingoji that’s what I said. I said “invite the workers and…”
@kaitlyns9756 ok
I mean the physical space isn't the bottle neck. The real bottle neck is the capacity for long term food requirements.
It's both unnecessarily cruel and outright dangerous to the success of the mission to save more people than you can feed from the initial destruction.
If you can house and feed X number of people but you save 2X people then you end up with a struggle for resources that leaves a lot less than just 1 X alive.
I honestly loved this movie, thank you RUclips for putting it out for free.
One of my favorites
What’s the movie name
@marthaz1183 2012
@marthaz1183 2012 ! have a good watch ( and please remember to stay hydrated ! ) !
@marthaz1183it's called "2012".
Gonna tell my kids I survived all this and was inside the arcs
4:53 wow I never got to reply this scene to notice that the Wave was taller than the clouds!!!!
Holy moly……
those who used wealth and political power to get on board would most likely become the lowest ranks after the disaster has passed. Their money and power will mean nothing in a world that no longer has an economy or government and needs to be rebuilt from scratch. I'd imagine the armed forces will take control (and won't stay loyal to the people who were willing to selfishly sacrifice those deemed beneath them) and prioritize those who will actually aid in post-apocalyptic survival.
0:42 her face is like "please make this guy shut up!"
7:08 is an incredible moment of building up serious implications of trouble from the composers. Great film score writing!
At the time this movie was released (2009), I thought that Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip would have stayed behind and sent William and Harry instead to ensure the continuation of the bloodline. I still get pissed that Satnam and his family didn't get picked up!
I’m assuming William and Harry were there too, just not shown. Also irl if this happened I think you’d be right that Elizabeth would stay behind and send William and his children instead.
The corgis and her are more impt than her children it seems
probably in the real life, this is a movie lol
@lovecraftianwalrus4490 You are right, in 2012 Elizabeth was already 86, and she was already waiting for her end, in real life, or she would stay and command the youngest royals, or they would also take her because of her historical weight and as a person.
In reality, the queen would never have abandoned Britain, and Philip would likely stay with her, but the entire rest of the royal family would likely go to the arks, as well as their spouses (we might have seen William and Kate tie the knot early to be able to go together, and I imagine Camilla would also worm her way into the boarding party).
This movie is very sad and scary in many ways. I was definitly traumatized by it when I was younger.
For some reason, I found this movie to be a comedy as well.
I think what you meant to say is corny and goofy. Nothing about this film is scary or sad.
@hunterspride18 When you see how people all over the world are trying to survive this extinction event and how everything you have ever cared about means nothing anymore that is very sad and horrific. And yeah ofc it has some comedy moments but the movie takes itself serious.
It’s fake, a flood of this magnitude isn’t possible
@hunterspride18it was corny but not goofy
This was definitely one of the movies within this lifetime!
6:55 Best shot in the entire movie.
0:53 The fact that the wave is so high that it pushes the clouds is incredibly terrifying.
For real…
5:00 you mean
I love the bit where they seen the queen in her purple dress and hat and her dogs!!! 😂😂😂
Always send me chills when the phone go bee Beebe ebe e after the wave hit
This movie and Deep Impact are two disaster movies that always stuck with me.
I miss this era of cinema.
I wonder why is it over. What has changed so much?
"Goodbye my friend......................." Also creepy smile on that captain given the circumstances of their present situation.
As a lot of things are unrealistic in this movie the actors actually did a great job surprisingly. Imagine hearing your friend and his family along with hundreds of men, women, and children screaming in their last moments I'd have nothing but rage
Honestly I will just forget about them. I mean they are dead so what is the point of mourning?
@GoddessofDeath-m6j This isn't 2014, trying to be emotionless and edgy is nothing but cringe nowadays
@saintariser8507I don't know what you mean. If you don't feel anything then you don't have to feel guilty or care about anyone else. What does that have to do with the year?!
@GoddessofDeath-m6j Bring cold and edgy and pretending not to give a shit is out of fashion by a decade. You missed it. Sorry that you were born too late to experience that, but trying now just looks cringe aa fuck and makes you sound like an 11 year old who's just learned what a serial killer is.
@saintariser8507Are you done? Because you are not going to change my mind you know.
Amazing movie, I watch it at least twice a year. ❤
The hardest moment is to watch in your child's face knowing that the end is coming and you're not able to save him/her, no matter what.
That's just life buddy.
@GoddessofDeath-m6j you’re a minor
that isnt just a tsunami, is the entire ocean moving and replacing the land
Can’t believe we survive that.
"Your predictions haven't panned you *doctor*"
-a guy who has done nothing but complain the entire movie
With everything happening so fast, there wasn't a whole lot of time to get all of the ticket holders for the arks. Especially with the Earth Crust Displacement happening.
*a guy who actually coordinated the project to get it done.
He was the most rational person in this situation. Of course it would be nice to save every last person but it just wouldn't have worked. He was the ideal person to coordinate this project, since he would not let his emotions get all tangled up in every decision like Dr. Helmsley.
@lukask.3686most rational isn’t the most effective person/leader either.
It’s amazing how far an “I’m sorry, I understand, but XYZ” will take you over what this guy says and does.
Actually it is Helmsley that complained all movie. His compassion makes him seem nice, but in a situation like this, he would've lost a whole lot more lives due to his good yet impractical intentions. Anheuser is operating with a rational mind, which is what you'd need here. Nobody was being evil in this movie. It was all too chaotic to rescue everyone. Anheuser is the right guy to have for this
This movie was made to let us know that we will never be saved if this were to ever happen.
5:41 idc what anyone says about this movie , but moments like these , is what makes this movie pretty sad :,( enjoyed this movie when it came out enjoy it still !!
5:26 when he said “what” 😢😢😢
So it was the monks job to ring the bell if a giant tsunami roared across the Himalayas?
I think it was more of a goodbye but that's what i always assumed
I think he used it as a way to alert the other monks of imminent danger, a futile, but honourable final act.
I know you're trying to be funny but in case you weren't: the job is to "raise the alarm" whenever anything warrants it, which a tsunami would of course fall into that category.
@ALBINO1D well he warned them. Of course I'm being funny. It's a cool scene but what does he think people are going to do? This movie was garbage but I thought this was the only scene in the movie that was salvageable.
It was a death bell for humanity.
5:00 the tsunami is as high as the clouds😶
QUICK! Pull out the camera. CAMERAMEN NEVER DIE!
Most people only think survival in a situation like this.... But I wonder..... What happened to those that survive? Imagine the world that's left behind.... Is it a world you would WANT to live in?
The earth would eventually heal and fix itself again and yes those people would be pretty miserable. But their kids, and those kids having kids and so on and so on. Would have a good life and have a chance at life knowing that their ancestors did everything they could to survive this so the human race could exist and prevail
What choice do you really have?
It would be a paradise,they land in the last scene on a tropical island,living the stone age but with knowledge,ofcourse for survivalits it would be good,normies are gonna have a hard time
Wow, idk if it’s because I’m a bit older now since watching this back in 2012 but these scenes hit you a bit differently!
So in this movie the baddies live and the goodies die, is that correct?
Probably one of the most touching moments in the movie. Was the man and his wife with their child?Knowing they were going to die
Sorry to say in ds Movie my Indian Brother n hs family were betrayed.....
🇮🇳🙏
Bharath Mata ki Jai......
Jai javan jai kisan.........
India shit
Sad movie remanid me the elite of the n.w.o
Grandson you know i survived this?
Grandpa did you forget your meds again?
He says “ you could fit ten people in here “
Standing room only
5:10 It's NOT ABOUT THAT. You might have the room but you don't have the life support systems for more people. FOOD, WATER, WASTE.
They were expecting to be on the Arks longer than they actually were. Had they known the water would be receeding as fast as it did, they could have packed more people. All those scientists failed to get the presictions right.
I watched this when I was a kid and it traumatised me
Hmmm! Indeed - very interesting. Ark 3 was damaged beyond repair.
4:23 The whole movie they made him out to he a jerk. But, he was right, and I didn't see them take him up on his offer to donate their passes. And, yes, they could have fit "10 people in each room" but what about the food, water, etc. that each of those people would require? They could have saved, probably another 500 people per ark. But that still wouldn't be enough. The only thing I don't agree with, is not having the workers allowed on board. They should have been given space, at least the ones on site that day.😮
I used to hate this dude and was hoping someone decked him out, but yeah, he was so very right.
あの状況になっても携帯電話つながるんだな
love how its mostly rich people like whos going rebuild rich people to greedy and selfish to rebuild and will cause the mass extinction of human kind and animal life
They literally funded the arks creation 😂 without them there wouldn’t even be an ark
@MrJakmattAnd it turns out the Arks were unecessary - cruise ships and the entirety of the cape of Africa (ans large portions of the African continent as a whole) managed to survive the apocalypse.
@pokemonfanmario7694 Was it canon? or alternate scene? i though that scene was a deleted scene
@jeze2432 It was, I believe, an extended scene. I remember seeing it on the DVD, I don't think it breaks canon (it technically would've happened after the very last scene.)
@MrJakmatt
Yeah and what useful skills do those rich people have besides sitting on their asses all day? The chaos stops and now what? You really think a Saudi prince or a tech billionaire is going to know the first thing about farming, medical care, construction? And forget doing all of that with modern technology, they'll have to improvise using anything in their surroundings. They won't last a month.
i saw a comment that explained why the wave is as high as it is (i can’t remember i’m detail ) but essentially it’s not a wave but an entire ocean that’s been moved
Satnam's was more than a farewell, it was a warning as well. I just have noticed that
That tsunami reminds me of when your guys moms do a cannon ball in the pool
Adjust the countdown:
> do calculations
> Write an additional script that slowly adjusts the countdown to the new result
Nows that's what I call a bunker ....... !!!!!
🤓😲🤯
Há um erro no mesmo Filme antes dessa cena foi dito que todas as Comunicações foram interrompidas então com Satnam conseguiu ligar para seu amigo Adrian.
1:40 Queen Elizabeth II survives. 🥲
I never caught before. 😊
Well, clearly, this is an alternate timeline because this didn't happen in ours
if satnam was picked up, it may have been too late for people to know of the Eastern Tsunami, so in a way it was good that he was left behind.
"All communications have ceased" - Satnam's phone is working great.
I saw this movie on acid and spent the next 6 months avoiding water
Every time i watch this movie i get goosebumps
That wave was clearly more than his 1,500m. That looked more like over 8,000m or 5 miles high
I so freaking wish they had a short series on the Aftermath of 2012. Them on the ark then coming out onto land and seeing how they rebuild. I don’t know.
They were gonna make a TV series about that, but it got cancelled before it was even made due to budget reasons. The series would've been titled, "2013".
@daniboy4153 That would be awesome to have.
You'd have thought a bloke called satnav would have been able to find a route to safety
End of the world has lines and supervisors like great adventure. I’m sure that will work out perfectly
A tsnumai is from far incredible but from upclose no one will survive to tell the tale
I'm doomed, as are my family, we have no special skills to offer the world. But i'd rather be with them anyway
It's not special skills that would save you it's money and connections
DUDE THE WAVE IS TALLER THAN THE CLOUDS OH MY FOD NOW THATS SCARY
John always wears a suit in his movies 😂
I guess they didnt have more people because it would be too much weight but each bed is like 3-4 people in weight
Fact there was 2 , an the other one was actually so called bigger too
how i went to school every day
The most sadder parts of this movie is in the end call sound, like they are or saying goodbye or caught unexpected and they die with that sound
I love the moral grandstanding
I like this movie because a lot of things, most things, are going wrong, in the crisis
Plenty of people are making mistakes, others are selfish, others play high and mighty
That's usually how stuff goes down. The screenplay is very realistic.
Heartbreaking. Even though it's just an apocalypse sci fi movie, this still reminds me of all those real life historical incidents where we left loved ones and friends behind to their deaths. (The USA's abrupt departure from certain allied nations comes to mind). 😭
Fuck nato
Afghanistan is not an allied nation
@sarmaxsamit’s people are innocent
@sarmaxsam they were before the Taliban took over, they were literally labeled as "major non-nato ally"
Love Dr Charles
how the hell cell service still worked?
2012 Tsunami India but with The Sorcerer And The White Snake 2011 OST Promise make it 5:48
2:30, have you detained? We all die if we do not get on the ark
Never forget the loss … carry the burden for is our humanity that keeps us going . History is our book of bible
how tf did I not remember that queen Elizabeth was portrayed in this movie
Imagine building all that shit, just to be left behind to die
It's only scary for people who don't have anything boyent or can't swim
2:00 Is that JB Pritzker?
You funny he look just like 😂😂😂😂😂
The interesting question is, who is in the better place in the end. The people who made their peace and died, or the "survivors" struggling for survival with the little of what's left of a habitable world on board an iron coffin? Not an easy answer...
I think the most surprising part of the movie now is that Cell Phone communications were still up.
it was a satellite phone...using satellites in outer space 5:13
Anheuser was there but where was Busch?
Oliver platts character was spot on in this movie. wasnt even the bad guy.
Good to know the Sony product placement made it onto the Ark..
Busying in school in East leck or montwood high in the sun
The queen would not have left her people.
Carl was the best character in the movie😅
*M. Bussin'*
The saddest thing is that only the "Wealthy" would be put in bunkers or arks
6:38 he's an ass but he's not wrong. They were supposed to have a lot more time to prepare all of this. How do you send people to pick anyone up when they know they aren't going to live?
