"The World As We Know it Will End" | Full Opening Scene HD | 2012
As a Survivor of 12/21/12 I’m happy to say that 10 years later we’ve come a long way from the Apocalypse.
& how we survived of what’s was going to happen.
Yeah, when apparently some scientists actually predicted it back in 2009 and it was all just fake thankfully, I watched it when it came on Netflix in early 2010 with my family I was 6 years old and only in kindergarten and I got so scared, panicked and thought it was actually gonna end in 2012🤣🤣 but in 2011 and 2012 I wasn’t worried about it at all and in fact I didn’t watch this movie again until 2015 when I was 11-12ish!
Repeated cataclysms in the past suggests quite clearly, with solid evidence in the strata of the ground supporting it, that a huge cataclysm similar to that at the end of the younger Dryas (11.600 years ago, -> it ended the last cold period of the current ice age), is overdue. It should hit us within the next 200 years. What will be left of our delicate civ after that? What happened to previous cycles of human civilizations? Gobekli Tepe, the Sphinx in Egypt and many other megalithic sites around the world might answer that question.
@@prince-solomon We have a pretty good idea what caused the end of previous civilzations, and it never was some sort of a apocalyptic, natural catastrophe, that could threaten the existence of modern human civilization. Such fearmongering is therefore absolutly uncalled for. If our civilzation ends, it will most likely happen because of our own irrational actions.
@@prince-solomon Been watching Joe Rogan interviews of Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson much, have we?
"I am afraid the amount is in Euros" This is quite a legendary line.
What does it mean
@@Salik_dpsIt just means that the Euro is stronger than the US Dollar. €1,000,000 is more expensive than $1,000,000.
@@kingab8893 thanks man ;)
The USD and the Euro are actually worth pretty much the same right now. Pretty sure that when this movie originally came out, that the Euro was near in the toilet for value.
@@dwainespradling9233gotta remember this was in 2012
Ah yes. I still remember the world ending in 2012. It was quite an experience.
It did end, they activated the particle collider and the planet we are on now is not the same planet as were on before. We were sent to someone different dimension. That's why alot of people remember things like logos and names of shows and books being different than they are now.
🤔🤨🤔😐 I know it didn't end, but something happened, this whole timeline is jack, things seems to be off just a little bit
@@andrewverrett568 It didn't end. We sent some people with you to dimension J-24.B where we can observe and experiment, but only a very small percentage of the population.
It was off by a couple of years but hey, still pretty impressive for the myans.
@@andrewverrett568 Nope, Solar system had passed Galaxy ecliptic and central blackhole emitting fallen was visible. Many now are possessed by them.
"heating up the earth's core..." the earth's core is nearly as hot as the surface of the sun already. gold.
The neutrino's are also somehow heating up a tank full of water deep down in the Earth's crust, yet fail to heat all the water at the surface - including that inside human bodies. This plot has more holes in it than a Russian tank in Ukraine.
@@JC130676 How are those abrams tanks working out for ukraine? lmao
@@zelashizzz1278 Quite well actually. And congratulations to Russia, their tanks have won the worldwide turret-tossing competition with ease. Credit where credit's due, no other country makes their tanks fly as well as them.
@@JC130676 I see the indoctrination is going well.
@@giantslug6969 WOOHOO! Vladolf Putler for the win! He wrestles with bears, bit a shark to death, can split rocks with his bare hands and his farts smell of roses! That sort of thing?
Honestly the opening scene of this movie gave me chills. This has to be one of the best disaster movies at least by screenplay. I guess it's more frightening than watching a horror movie
Not really. Nobody is screaming in fear at a screening of 2012. It's fun though. Incredibly stupid to charge money though. What good is money going to be in a world with a population of like 25,000 people
@@hansolo631 Not sure if you've seen the movie but to be as spoiler free as possible they were charging a billion per person to a select wealthy to gain the funds to put their plan into action. Since this was secretive and not know publicly to all they couldn't just redirect that amount of funds without drawing everyones attention.
@@hansolo631 they need money to build spaceship and fill it with necessary things. The govt can't involve directly as they need approval from Congress. Hence, the only way is to inject money from riches and hence the existence of on boarding passes
Lol the film was crap. Fun though.
Even in imax it’s got to be spine tingling?
What a surreal experience it was, I'm so glad that I survived this disaster along with my family.
July 24, 2012😂 we did Look it up
I didn't survive it, but fortunately I got better.
@@josepha9184what
But poor Satnam and his poor family.
I was literally swept away. Thank goodness I survived.
Can I just note the incredible foreshadowing done in this scene at 0:33? For anyone who watched this movie. The guy in the cab Adrian, his father was on a cruise just like that toy boat and got overtaken by a giant tsunami wave.
Dude its a fokin movie
Damm , Arey bhai I always thought there's something 2 that scene just couldn't point my finger 2 it. After reading yr comment just realised tht. Awesome observation. 😁
In a Deleted Scene from the Movie, the Cruise Ship with his father on it Survived the Tsunami Wave and was found safety on top of a Mountain by Adrian and the Arks.
nice foreshadow
@@adityakurnia1162 yes Aditya, so true! And you know what, Aditya? movies use techniques like "foreshadowing" to make their story more intricate and engaging.
Those computers in that server room in the underground cave must have some really fast fans and large heat sinks to not shut down. LOL
❤❤
I was just thinking that lol how are they not over heating
This one of those movies u can watch over and over again n never gets old
Pls what's the name of the movie 🙏🏾
@@2wenty1_savage38 2012 , that is the name
I’ve probably watched this movie 2012 times already
Im doing it right now
Never gets old. Just like the victims of the apocalypse.
7:02 This proves that the Camera man is not only un-killable, but also powerful af to stay in a room filled with just the world leaders! Respect!
😂😂😂
Somehow this joke manages to get dumber everyday
@@jb76489 Just like the film, then. Still a classic.
@@jb76489 It literally can’t get any dumber, the cameraman shit became unfunny after the 1,214th time back in 2019
This means you are trying to prove how childish you are and doesn't know how movies are made. It's not more a joke now. It's dumb intellect
This is one of my mom's all-time favorites. She will actually stop to watch it whenever it's on. I've lost track of how many times she's seen it - 2012, Dante's Peak, The Day After Tomorrow - she loves disaster movies.
Thank you
Those where my moms favorites movies along with 2012. Lost her a year and a half ago. Thank you for the little memories
@GTFONarwhal My sincere condolences on the loss of your mom. I'm glad this brought back a bit of a happy memory for you. I find my mom's interest in these movies really cool and quirky and part of the charm of her overall personality; I take it you might have a similar feeling about your mother.
Man, my partner and I went on a massive binge fest of disaster movies a while ago starting with the blockbusters and moving slowly down the tiers of quality until we got to movies where we were asking how it even made it through editing with someone still thinking it was good to be seen by the public. Dunno what it is about them but they're just great to watch over and over again, most of them anyways
if she's into disaster movies, I wonder if she's taken a look at the last presidential election? I'm still scared!!
I just realized this the toy ship that belong to the child kinda foreshadowed how Adrian's father would die
kinda like the movie foreshadows something in real life that was produced in 2012 kzhead.info/sun/aZmxfKaxsYZnn2g/bejne.html Note the ending of the movie, where the sun is rising before the boatman, and looks like its boiling off the oceans and melting glaciers that shouldnt be so far south. Guess what you are seeing.
there is an alternate ending where his dad actually survived and the ship was beached on an island, i kinda prefer that ending ngl
@@Maverick-hf1pe Yeah, that one would have allowed some happiness.
@@Maverick-hf1pe oh zamn didnt know about it.
No shit Sherlock
I still think this is underrated. It's very watchable, it's like the ultimate disaster movie
I agree.
@@PRYDAX Yeah I was shocked it didn't get an Oscar nomination for visual effects
@@PRYDAX You really think so! The first time I saw it the one thing that struck me was how cartoonish the SFX we're.
Definitely one of my favourite disaster movies rather watch this over the majority of what comes out now.
@@AlienHunterification Agreed
If they capped off a boiling tank that reached 6000 feet down, that bulkhead would either be blown off, or when they opened it they'd all be burned to death instantly by the steam explosion.
nooo
meow meow
Physics is not this film's strong point.
It wasn't in the script.
Are you aware that this is fiction?
Thanks to the Chinese Authority and Dr. Adrian helmsley, I have been able to manage to go on board the submarine. And survived the disaster... it's been a 10 years and still gives me a chill.
This part of the movie was the most unbelievable part for me, that is to say the computers operating just fine in that kind of heat. I don't know why that has bothered me so much. I feel like the rest of the stuff that happens in the movie is possible.
Just watched this part, yes just pure insanity.
The most unbelievable part by far is the sun heating up the earth's core and neutrinos "mutating". It is actually impossible for this to ever occur
Or the scientist talking in F°, like its India, not the US.
@@ellogovna5407 and that neutrinos are produced by solar eruptions XD
@@ellogovna5407nah the computers running in 100+ Fahrenheit while being in a small room is the craziest part.
gonna show my kids this movie and tell them it actually happened 😂
Do it
@@FilmMajor No, it's not. That's fearmongering nonsense that the establishment came up with to justify taking away your rights.
We are a great species. We have survived so many end of world deadlines the last 100 years. Way to go us!
And we always have anothor one. The Doomsday Clock is only 90 seconds to midnight though. - So why don't they turn it off?
Don't say this word, if God see this, they gonna take it as a challenge
@@bbenjoe because one day the Earth WILL be gone ... either by something hitting it or when our sun expands ... or when we have a nuclear war or biological one ... and at a minute an a half ... that roughly equates to someone with their hand over the kill em all let GOD sort em out button
@@bbenjoe They just keep it wound up ... to wind us up.
maybe in the last 100, but go back about 10 thousand, I saw a chart of the Clovis tribe sites in N. America for a few thousand of years then they was gone like disappeared, got wipe out, then the Folsom showed up for a bit
5:30 I love how the music gets obscure as the same of his face gets serious : He just has informed that the whole world will end soon
I have the same feeling when i read "La Miseria del Intervencionismo" ( The missery of Interventionism) of Axel Kaiser.
Damn, can't believe it's been 11 years since the world ended. We have a come a long way in just a little over a decade.
Ah a fellow survivor. Yes I agree it was quite an ordeal.
This movie and The Day After Tomorrow all time favs
I remember 12/21/12 perfectly. I was 13 years old in Mcallen Texas, its was like 75 degrees outside and the most perfect december day ever 😂this was my fav movie at the time
McAllen tx baby 🫶🏿
Shoutout the 956

I survived this by staying locked in my room sleeping. What a journey!
Try me. I can stay locked in my house just doing my own stuff. So!
The movie does keep its momentum throughout better than Emmerich's previous The Day After Tomorrow where we get stuck in a library for the second half of the movie. The Dennis Quaid search does have one good scene in between but after that not much. It's more straightforward, some people might prefer that but the pacing just feels better here in 2012 (2009) IMO
I never did understand how the survivors aren't largely the villains of the piece. I mean, they learn of the catastrophe and their response is to make sure they, and only they, survive. Spend all the money and treasure confiscated from the little guy over the decades through taxes and confiscation to ensure THEY survive, and screw everyone else. It's an elitist's wet dream---a grand reset of the world without all those annoying little people dragging them down. And the movie doesn't even touch on the total evil of that.
Agreed, all the people who rushed for the ships were already ticket holders, they just went to other ships when theirs got destroyed during a shift earthquake. Its not like they invited common people to go with them, they only decided to help the other filthy rich scoundrels that had lost their boat. Can you imagine how shitty it would be to start a brand new fucking world, with literally the nastiest, most sociopathic scum as the ones laying the groundwork? Honestly, Im not even sure they would survive each other until the waters receded. I bet, without common people for them to use and wipe their asses with, they would quickly turn on one another, and not show nearly the restraint common people have when they turn on one another. And not to mention, if people hadnt been such greedy bastards to begin with, they could have saved a lot more people. You are right. They didnt WANT to help the common rabble. Even Anheuser says it to Helmsley, " If you want to donate your passes to a couple of chinese workers, be my guest" He shut his piehole and boarded the ship hahahaha.
I have feeling that the reason the lottery wasn't used was cause of him n probably had the president wife kill just for suggesting it.
Who do you think made the movie? In general, makes movies? /s (sort of)
They have to inform you what they intend to do, that's how evil works.
If it makes you feel better, they're going to end up having to figure out how to farm and all sorts of manual labour after being lazy all their lives. Just think of Elon Musk taking the place of a musk ox to plow.
I truly enjoy the ride on ArcNo3. My gratitude to all the people around the world who saved us, and my sincere condolences to those who missed the rescue plan. May the R.I.P. We will work as hard as we can to earn this second chance bestowed on us. God bless us all.🙏🙏
Um. Ark no.3 is broken. Coz the roof collapsed in on it during the shifting of the Earth's crust. Only Arks no.4, 6, and 7 are operational. But you'd be lucky enough, if you survive in the Ark Building Bunker Facility in the Cho Ming Valley.
A large solar outburst can theoretically cause changes in the earth's core if it was big enough and hit the earth directly. We would have literally no way to stop the outburst or the effects.
I argued last summer on Instagram that it was a solar burst that wiped out the dinosaurs. Not a meteor like everyone else was saying.
@@talos6202 you mean like the actual scientists who dedicate their lives to the study of the phenomena are saying
@@talos6202 Yeah, but there is a meteor impact in the Yucatan penninsula that dates to the same year as the extinction event 65 mil years ago and the dimensions of the meteor and impact are congruent with a global extinction event. It could be a combination though.
We missed one in 2012 that would have devastated the world electricity grid. Just happened that earth wasn't at that particular point in it's orbit then.
@@NA1c158 Also, at the same time as the meteor impact, a series of volcanos began massive eruptions in what is now India This volcanos were an exceptionally large type called flood basalt volcanos and cause exactly as their name implies, and there have been other eruptions over the eons, one of which being the one that caused the Permian Mass Extinction There's this one video on here that explains this so much better than I ever could
I was fortunate to survive the awful events from 2012... along with a bajillion amount of people as well. Thank you Thank you!!!
If it were 2021 instead of 2012: "I am afraid they are in euros" "Oh THANK GOD"
It would have been traumatizing too. Cause Euro is still a stronger currency than the US $ even. So the arab would have had the same reaction. Although, a bit less emotional about it.
I don't care what people say this is a good movie
It's a dramatic, disaster, action-flick, with a doulop of dark humor and a sprinkling of relateable issues about humanity as a whole. Tis' a decent movie to get a thrill out off.
reminds me of Indiana Jones movies..non stop action
No, you like it a lot and enjoy it, which is absolutely ok, but this was NOT a good movie.
@@steverogers7601For its category it was though. Can't think of an apocalypse-movie that's better in terms of effects, creativity and suspense
@@ppvc388 Sure it's enjoyable as mindless entertainment and light social commentary. It's premise is total nonsense, though, as far as scientific plausibility goes.
I’m gonna show this movie to my future kids and say “Yeah, I survived all of that.”
I was beyond scared as a kid after watching this movie 😢 … I cried after the day passed 😅
r u in usa?
Actual low-IQ. Imagine being scared of a date set by humans, thinking it would be "the end of the world." Just as dumb of a conspiracy as supernatural beliefs. People are idiots.
Well, we survived December 21. I remember boarding my Tector-class star destroyer and watching the tsunami from Earth's orbit.
It is was not unexpected that the best YT scientists have reunited in this comment session in the usual mocking frenzy
My family got annoyed at how many times I replayed this movie as a kid 😂 just can’t get enough of a good disaster movie
Upvoted for Danny Glover as the President...great role. 2012 wasn't a "great" movie, but damn he was good in it.
So only the wealthy can afford to survive any disasters !? In real life too . 😂😂😂
Years from now we can tell all our grandkids the world ended back in our day.
Human civilization: 10,000 years. Human existence: 200,000 years. T Rex: 70 million years. Earth: 4 billion years. Our existence is the blink of an eye.
cause humans shouldn't be here

@@JaneXemylixa Dinos ruled the earth about 70 million years ago.
@@michaelgeraghty3989 You put it in the same context as how long things have lasted. Implying it's the number of years they hung around
Yeah what a year that was, rain, flood, earthquake, drought and a whole lot of nothing. But hey we still here survived respect.
Thank you... now playing ▶️ 🎶 later!!!!!
This movie was so close to being a 10 out of 10. But last section was like they brought in a whole new writing team that couldnt handle it knocking several points off.
Name of the movie?
@@vindirect Not sure what you mean. But if it was over the top natural disaster from beginning to end with desperate survival strategies and ends with quickly getting on the boat. Not screwing around with whatever illogical mess they loaded the end with then it would of been a 10/10.
@@DeerRunner i'm asking you what even is this? A movie a series or what?
@@vindirect Movie
Sorry just realized name of movie is 2012. The could have been an amazing classic.
this really was the best part of the movie.
the puddle? why!?!? the endless pain we feel in the first seconds of the movie never fades
It's always funny how the people who survive in such movies always belong to the nation who makes the film.
You mean like aliens always land and contact the US first 😂😂
Ehh, I mean, the US is the most powerful nation in the World, so it makes sense.
@@wouterbmx072well we know they’re not gonna go to no damn fiji 😂
true. even the negro guy survived for being an american.
Of course. It’s because it’s an American film. If it was a foreign family, American markets wouldn’t be able to relate to them.
I watched this movie when I was a child and I actually believed that it would happen. Despite all the scientific inaccuracies, it is still one of my favourite movies.
I’ll never understand how Emmerich creates such beautiful special effects and equally terrible everything else.
Omg...till now, I would never forget this movie until my death...my entire childhood was traumatic because of this movie when I was 10... Mentally I got affected and my parents recovered me by some therapy.... I'm from india 🇮🇳❤️
This is one of my favourite movies because it actually shows how the governments would deal with such a situation
I mean who actually thinks the government would try to save average people? Aside from essential personnel to maintain critical systems.
Danny Glover is a very underrated actor.
He is quite amazing.
I like him in shooter 🔫😎
You have no clue what underrated means, do you?
He’s getting too old for this sh*t…or is he?
This whole clip should be the vibe of the entire movie.
kids nowadays will never understand the excitement of waiting for the world to end in 2012.
We all should thank Chuck Norris for this. He stood outside at midnight of 12/21/12 and just stared at the sky saying “I dare you.” Nothing happened.
The world as we know will soon come to an end holy shit still give me goose bump
I still remember watching this movie in theatre and there was a stunned silence when the first scene of destruction hits... as that scene ended I could hear few nearby girls sobbing; I won't lie I was scared shitless as well...Imagining that is how we all are going to die that year😱
I never noticed the kid playing with the boat in the rain foreshadows a scene with a cruise ship later on in the film.
I like how this one guy can just convince everyone that the world is ending just by a simple piece of paper. He gets dismissed but when the guy is shown the paper, it's like an epiphany. "My god, the world IS ending!" What was on the paper sheet that convinced him that fast?
Most likely scientific proof of the impending apocalypse, and the man he handed it to had knowledge on how to understand it and how to put it all together.
The paper was measuring unobtainium levels of the applied Phlebotinum in the Earth’s crust in the 1 billion Gigowatt range
@@jonathanbirch2022in other words a great big shock 😂
I like that in this scene we saw the type of friendship between Adrian and Satnam. Made me sad when Satnam and his family passed
Just loved it my friend.
The world as we know it already ceases to exist! Insanity reigns
Haha yeah you're right guess it really did end in 2012. That's when all this social justice shit blasted off
2012!!! The most underrated MOVIE of the millennium..........so far
This movie should have won an Oscar.
Its insane how far we come since this horrible event happened in our lives
Me as a dad: “you that shi son? I survived all that 😎” Son: “🫢”
I remember 12/21/2012 I was shitting bricks the whole entire day
This movie was fun and entertaining to watch.
I still love that movie
You know something is wrong when the Higher education system is still trying to tell people that the Sun has nothing to do with the weather on the Earth.
How dare you!
The moon has more to do with our weather then the sun does if it does at all. If we lost the moon we wouldn’t be able to survive the devastation it would cause.
Great movie from entertainment standpoint
The Rich will Survive and the Poor will Die, History never Changes
"Neutrinos are mutating" 😂
Not AS crazy as you might think..
4:13 that guard face when he realized adrian can took vip guys jacket like its nothing.
Every disaster movie starts with politicians ignoring a scientist
Bro so true its always the same. Like with climate change.
There may never be a disaster movie this good again
I’m going to show this to my grand kids one day abs tell them it a historical accurate
This and the purge 😂
NOW PLAYING LATER thank you
This movie is incredible, you will never be bored whenever you watch
This film always makes me chuckle, my son was born on 21/12/2006, we said he'd bring trouble with him as he was born arm first like superman. Then this film came out and the old mayan calender aswell, def made us laugh!
I don’t understand why this movie didn’t win an Oscar! This was the best movie in a long time. It’s a 10/10! Inshallah we get another movie like this masterpiece but I highly double Hollywood can capture lightening in a bottle twice.
Something I never quite noticed at first; At the beginning of the video, the planets are aligned.
Superb movie. I watched it four times in theatres.
This movie saved my life by tought me how to survive 2012 apocalypse.

This movie awoke the phobia of disaster and end of the world in me
7:00 -- A little spin on the old joke of how you keep a secret lol
Its ironic how in the beginning when Adrian warns the cab driver about running over the kids ship, you see it turned over in the water foreshadowing how Adrian's dad died at sea while on a cruise ship
Fun fact: the US president at the time had also had an encounter with The Predator in the 90s and won.
And he’s not too old for this sh*t. 😂🤣
love a good disaster movie!

"The world, as we know it, will come to an end. We have run out of coffee." Now that would have been a more realistic line.
They're telling us what is coming.
God I love this movie
it's definitely one for the ages. We will all look back on it in many years to come as we tell our grand children that this is what we survived lol
Also, for any _Bionicle_ fans here…you’re looking at the voice actor for Turaga Dume from _Legends of Metru Nui_ at the 8:53 mark.
I love how when higher up know exactly what's going to happened they're waste no time and running thing in secret.
I find this movie sad. Millions and millions of people die and one of the few survivors . . . is John Cusack
