Adrian (Chiwetel Ejiofor) arrives at the Ark, but receives a call from Satnam… | Buy or rent 2012 here: amzo.in/movie/og9/2012-2009
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😂😂😂
It’s actually fcked that Satnam was left behind but truthfully that’s exactly what would happen in a real life situation. The little people will be left behind while the rich and the nepo babies will live
If it wasn't for Satnam everyone would be dead
I agree, finally seeing a comment talking the reality of an event like this, it's sad as shit but NO DOUBT that the people picked up would just be the rich
Correct but what’s crazy in real situation some of them would fall too
You'd think the dude who discovered what was coming would have been given VIP treatment
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
I feel really bad for Satnam, saving the human race and not even being given the grace of a full life. Truly saddening.
5:52 that part of the father and son praying breaks my heart....
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.
It's perverted that the only people who were intended to be saved were those in the highest level of government and the wealthiest people in the world. It shouldn't be so surprising as they have always viewed the general population as being effectively "surplus labor", if they were even that generous.
sry m80, "luck" is a skill too.
Sadly, that’s life. If the world was ending and you could only save 10%, how would you choose?
@@qdllc I wouldn't choose the wealthiest. They have little value, ironically. I would choose a cross section of scientists, engineers, artists, farmers, doctors and so forth. After the essence of human knowledge has been secured, I would save random people from everyday life. Those that are merely "rich" can try and pay off the elements for mercy.
@@wanderer3004 - True, but as they said, they needed the billions from the wealthy to pull it off. In reality, the odds of you, me or 99% of the human race being chosen for some “preserve humanity” plan is pretty much zero.
@@wanderer3004 One problem tho: How would you fund it then? They mentioned it here, the arks wouldn´t have been possible without massive funds from the private sector. And those people wouldn´t have payed, if they wouldn´t even get a place on the ships. While it´s cruel, it´s also pragmatic.
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.
🌊
@@user-eu5eu7sc8bThey 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 honestly loved this movie, thank you KZhead for putting it out for free.
One of my favorites
This was definitely one of the movies within this lifetime!
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.
Can someone answer me. How can a 1500m wave even reach the base of Mount Everest which itself is around 5000m in height?
the wave is being pushed inland. if the elevation goes up the water goes up, as long as it has enough energy to get there. think of it like rolling a ball up a hill. the hill is taller than the ball, but the ball goes up for a bit (water comes in) until it runs out of energy and then rolls back down (water recedes).
@@kevinfan8477 Nicely explained👍
"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.
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
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 🤣
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.
This is Avatar the Last Air Bender, but the Fire Nation are the good guys while Water and Earth decided to go rogue
Ummm there was a scene where a volcano devoured a whole ass city and tornado that swept half of LA so none of the nations are a saint here
@@user-lc3fy3jf8tLavabending is actually a kind of Earthbending, not Firebending
Movie should’ve been called the rich wipe out the poor lol
Then it wouldn't be a work of fiction
Amazing movie, I watch it at least twice a year. ❤
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
Poor Satnam. Also, the Queen and her precious Corgis. Damn it.
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.
Sorry to say in ds Movie my Indian Brother n hs family were betrayed..... 🇮🇳🙏 Bharath Mata ki Jai...... Jai javan jai kisan.........
India shit
Love Dr Charles
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.
Hmmm! Indeed - very interesting. Ark 3 was damaged beyond repair.
Nows that's what I call a bunker ....... !!!!! 🤓😲🤯
We Indians can relate to Santnam's scene. We will die in the same way, if anything like this happens.
Lol nothing a tsunami of that size is pretty impossible it's just a movie India is a big nation
Sad movie remanid me the elite of the n.w.o
How ever flawed the Idea of an ark is, makers of this one didn't get it at all. Most on board would hardly be able to take care of themselves. The one's who could build a World, were let go.
Can’t believe we survive that.
I'm doomed, as are my family, we have no special skills to offer the world. But i'd rather be with them anyway
The writer of this movie obviously didn't know very much about the Queen. If this happened, she would have stayed behind with the rest of us.
Oh sweetie… no she wouldn’t 😂
@@jaasonmilleroh sweetie the princes served in the war for your country. Which I doubt you did
@jaasonmiller She absolutely would have and Philip too. She would have made sure her grandchildren were saved, but just based on her age she wouldn't have opted for survival when basically the entire population of her country was going to die. She took her role very seriously and she would have gone down with the ship. Having said that, most people over a certain age would do the same.
Totally! She told me the same thing.
That thief lady would have left you guys 😂😂😂
I’m terrified of the ocean
If you're scares of unrealistic wave proportions u got other problems
@@darthkillerhog oh I got plenty of problems. But a big ass wall of water just ready to sink you. Whew I’m not ready
@@saintbernard2786 Again tho that's completely u realistic and no amount of water on this planet will ever reach the height of the Himalayans let alone the East coast of the U.S.
@@darthkillerhog you too deep for me
@darthkillerhog Actually mega tsunamis like that can happen and has actually happened Lituya Bay, Alaska 1958. The tsunami was over 1700ft and is the largest tsunami ever recorded which was caused my 7.7 earthquake.
The executive might seem heartless, but he´s actually only pragmatic, as cruel as it sounds. Had they not sold tickets, no one would have survived, because the arks wouldn´t have been able to be built.
Strange how money mattered in the end anyway
13,500 foot high wave compared to the Himalaya's......where the average height of Himalayan mountains is 20,000 feet, hmmm. Over sensationalized.
It’s called science fiction for a reason 🤣 so just relax and enjoy the carnage.
That wave was 1.5km high that only equates to 4900 feet. You’re right about the 20 000 feet part though
Do not be so certain something similar happened when the world's largest sea equating to the oceans the Tethys sea was turned to what you see now Himalayas such a thing is possible only the even of the scale of planet terraforming capability.
Yeah that’s what got me. If the wave was 1,500 m high it wouldn’t have touched those mountains. I live in Australia and even our highest mountains in the great dividing range are higher than 1,500 m, and they are tiny hills compared to the Himalayas.
4:47
Of course, only the rich and stupid survive
2:38 you see the corpse of Antonov 225 well Sasha was died
Roland Emmerich makes great comedies. I wonder if he'll ever try his hand at a different genre before his career dries up.
The Tsunami of the Ultimate Evil Plunges India into Eternal Darkness.
how tf did I not remember that queen Elizabeth was portrayed in this movie
This is the saddest death in history when your friend is gone 5:28 😢🙏🙏😢
Trying to understand the logic of the queen when she has ten years of her life left.
What is the name of movie
2012
2012 (from 2009)
0:47 I mean, he could have just carried a kindle instead of all those books. It's the world end for gods sake!
This era of films pandering to china is so cringe
RULE OF HUMAN LIFE ------ STRONG SURVIVE, WEAK PERSIH A STRONG in MONEY & POWER WINS WEAK in MONEY & POWER LOOSE END OF THE STORY
Wrong, thats rule of the damned
5:22 Dr Adrian Helmsley: Satnam where are you Dr Satnam Tsurutani: on the Nampan Plateau Dr Adrian Helmsley: WHAT Dr Satnam Tsurutani: there's a tidal wave coming from the East it's gigantic Dr Adrian Helmsley: Satnam what happened Dr Satnam Tsurutani: we never got picked up Adrian the airlift never came goodbye my friend Dr Adrian Helmsley: Satnam Satnam
It's must be a conspiracy
Always the most useless and rich people are the one saved, society.
Ark #3 😂
Chinese did all the work and get left behind by the so called civilized west.
Only the rich survived and the poor were left to rot.
Movies are supposed to be fiction, don't compare to real world
That’s stupid
2:08 😂😂 this hasn’t aged well Chinese infrastructure is a joke
They were pandering to china
Soooo... fantacy is different from reality...qeen didn't make final days - the dream of golden globalistic's million😂😂😂😂
Notice he makes this self-righteous speech about "10 people could fit in here" - and at the end of the movie .... are there 10 people in HIS cabin? No. Reminds me of every policy falsely-self--righteous limousine liberals ever enact: NIMBY - not in my back yard.
Making a political statement criticizing a fictional character for his actions in a fictional movie? LOL
@@jacobr6698 Yea - because movies are never used to make a point (climate change) or illustrate the difference between the haves and have nots, or to show a situation to call attention to it. What a clown-ass false superiority statement - you played yourself.
@@jacobr6698 Yea - because no one ever uses movies to make a political point, illustrate an issue, or generate discussion about said issues. Nope, never happened - not once. Get over yourself.
Cause 10 times as many people didn’t get in the ship
@@MylesKillis Did you SEE the crowds running forward? And regardless of 3x or 6x - it's still NO ONE ELSE is in his cabin. My point stands.
This was some bullshit movie. Too much coincidence .
Terrible movie.
black gentil qui sauve les gens..........marre de ces film anti blanc sympa!!!!!!!
That’s not what this is about and you know. Keep your ridiculous racially motivated conspiracy theories to yourself
