Honestly despite the ridiculous premise of this film, they did show class divide pretty well, and are pretty damn realistic with how the world's elite and governments would react. 100% they'd leave us all to die while they hide away in a bunker or in this case, build giant ships capable of withstanding country-destroying tsunamis.
Idk, I would find it hard to believe china's political and economic elite would just cooperate with the rest rather than saving more of their own. The chinese communist party alone is massive, With so few arks I highly doubt they'd let the western elites on rather than all of their own elites first
If anyone is curious at the exact intensity of the earthquakes in the movie. 1. The Supermarket earthquake 6.5(VIII intensity) 2. The San Andreas fault mega quake 10.9 as stated but not possible as the fault can only produce up to a 8.3(XII intensity)Also other faults seem to get activated like the Puente Hills Fault, and Newport-Inglewood fault as sections of the LA Basin split. Also it's stated the major faults in the San Francisco bay area get activated too. 3. South American 8.5 earthquakes(X+ intensity) 4. The Japan earthquake 9.0+(X+ shaking intensity) 5. Washington DC earthquake 9.4 even though there are no faults in the Chesapeake Area.(IX intensity as the ground doesn't shake that much despite the magnitude) 6. Vatican Earthquake 7.0-8.0(IX intensity) 7. The rest of the earthquakes produced by the shifting crust are at the intensity of the chicxulub asteroid impact earthquake 66 million years ago which produced a whopping 13 magnitude earthquake, and produced mile high tsunamis, but this isn’t even possible anyway, because no fault or subduction zone could produce anything over a 10. Only something by impact like a landslide or asteroid could produce a tsunami of gigantic proportions.
@@hunterg24 Some of the earthquakes don’t follow physics as the mega quake that causes the pacific plate part of California to float away is unrealistic as the San Andreas fault shifts up and down not in and out.
If you’re looking for a sense of reality in movies like this, you won’t. It makes life easier to just enjoy the entertainment value of them instead of analyzing every detail.
If you are going to die anyway there would hardly be a more beautiful place to go. My dad nearly died of a heart attack on Easter Sunday. He said that if he had passed there wasn't a better day to go, or one with more promise.
I'm from Chile, and I saw this movie in theaters in 2009. In February 2010 there was an incredibly strong earthquake, and I thought that the entire country was collapsing like in this movie (especially like in the Los Angeles scene). . In the end we were only without them for several days.
Idk but still it’s sad because in the beginning when Adrian’s dad Harry and Tony, the man who called his family in Japan, board the cruise ship, they had an argument because apparently Tony became estranged from his son after his son got married to a Japanese woman while he was in Japan and when Adrian called Harry to say goodbye, Harry convinced Tony to reconcile with his son and try to reveal the situation.

Probably because it is such a small part of the movie. We don't get any time to get to know these people, they are only mentioned a small number of times and are only shown onscreen for about a minute of the movie. And the character who is related to them isn't that important himself. So yea, it's not that we don't care, it's just that there is so much other shit going on and so little focus on them, we're not given enough time to develop any real connection to them. When you hear about a disaster on the news but it's in a far off country, thousands of miles away from your door and it has no impact on your own life, you're not likely to care either. You think there aren't families who died or suffered where it happened? Ofcourse there are. But you don't see them, so you don't feel any empathy. To you, they are nothing more than a news report and/or a statistic. This is similar to that, if you ask me. They are just one victim among literal billions of others.
Was the part where they were talking about how the plates are moving and creating gigantic tsunami's a deleted scene, it kind of feels like info like that would have been relevant in explaining the mega-tsunamis
It's always been in the movie, you probably missed it. Also it's common knowledge that large earthquakes can easily trigger tsunamis, sense this movie has giant earthquakes, it gets giant tsunamis
Absolutely loved this movie! I'm so grateful I saw it in a THEATRE and not STREAMING on TV! The opening where LA is destroyed was quite intense. You could feel the anxiety in the audience, and I remember being a bit outta breathe myself! 😳🥺
Sometimes in Hollywood everyone knows it’s not realistic but do it anyways for the spectacle of it. Edit: just noticed this but if you look closely the whole dome is actually crumbling under its own weight as it rolls anyway. So it wasn’t gonna roll down the street so it’s still semi realistic
you dont know that... its base is reinforced circle with pillars.. the dome is usually th e strongest structure on a buiolding.. you know NOTHING for certain... go help the scientist figure out how gravity works instead of dropping your useless theories on YT attempting to feel smart..
There was an earthquake and tsunami in south america 3 monts after this films was released, it means that many people see this scenes and die in the same way 12 weeks later.
2012 is a guilty pleasure movie of mines. But Theres a series on apple tv called extrapolations that to me is a mlre realistic 2012 though its set in a modern timline and ends in the 2070's but it shows a more gradually series of climate disasters and catastrophes like below sea level cities like nyc being flooded over the next 2 decades and air quality from wildfires and pollution causing babies to have lung and heart defects, all large animals extinct, poverty rampant, etc. A more scary look at a disasters cause its death by a thousand cuts where as this it was a super fantastical global disasters.
Why would it be? Natural disasters don't give a fuck what religion you preach, what political persuasion you subscribe to or what you believe happens after you die, if anything. An earthquake does not discriminate. It kills the rich and poor the same way, should they both be unlucky enough to find themselves in the middle of one.
Cant help but notice the whole west and its most incredible accomplishments are destroyed yet africa is spared from all disasters in this movie, the narative is very clear when you know what your looking for.
Aside from North africa, the african coastline has some good distance from all its fault lines, so most quakes we experience here are only minor tremors. Most of the continent is also on a plateau, so tsunamis will never make it far inland if they were to hit
4:58 Philippines 🥺 I just can’t imagine how gigantic the wave that hit our country in that moment (and other SEA countries too if there were scenes of it) 😢
@@irvingxdiaza7248I'll join you in sounding like the "actually ☝🤓" guy lol because sometimes ash can cool down the surrounding air enough that snow can fall as well because (fun fact) most rain falls as ether hail or snow it just warms up and melts as it falls.
Imagine devoting your entire life to god and the last thing you see before you die is a huge crack splitting between the creation of Adam before it collapses on you
Imagine this, right before it cracked, you remembered, that when you Heard about the True Son Of God, finally being on Earth, but thought it safe, to be considered scepticle towards Him, as the rest were doing. Then it cracked! Swirl those chaotic mixed unstable emotions, between your teeth. Bitter taste, isn't it?
Also if Yellowstone erupted do you think it’s possible it could have a type of catalyst event and cause a fault (Either the San A. Or the other fault line off the coast of California) to rupture of go off? They’ve been saying we’re overdue by thousands of years for a mega earthquake, a super volcano eruption and a mega tsunami. And the longer it takes for the event to happen to more energy it will release - meaning it will be more impactful
