    So what were all those supercars doing in a plane? Is it a sort of Noah's Ark of horsepower?

    As someone that actually understands science and what is physically possible these previews are giving me a headache. It's like the director went to the CGI department and said, "you, make that more over the top I can still see something that could actually happen in reality".

    the ads for this movie shows more of a continuous scene than any other tv trailer ive ever seen. give it a couple more months and i think i could piece the movie together just through the ads.

    The past decade has been quite lacking doomsdays (did the planets line up or something a few years ago?), so I am looking forward to this one. I likely still won't own a Bentley or a Cessna 410 , so I guess I am toast.

    @My Car is a Big Fish: I hope you're being ironic. Surely you've heard of "The Core", "The Day After Tommorrow" (same director IIRC), "War of the Worlds", "Knowing", not to mention all the other not-so-catastrofic-but-also-deadly-for-m..., like "The Happening", "The Invasion", "28 Days Later", "Children of Men", etc...

    The 2000's was actually the most prolific decade in doomsday movies, according to this:

    @bzr: Beats me, I just pointed out to the ridiculous number of doomsday movies of the 2000's (it's actually an infrequent source of cinema rants among me and my friends, as we're all tired of these movies, specially since the advent of median to good CGI).

    I found it odd as well, and I haven't seen that movie yet. But reading it's wiki page, it does mention "end-of-the-world" scenarios:

    (potential spoilers about "Donnie Darko" ahead!)

    "The film depicts the reality-bending venture of the eponymous character as he seeks the meaning and significance of his troubling end-of-the-world visions."

    When I was a kid, my dad often ruined movies for me by talking about how fake certain things were, especially with regard to physics.

    As I grew older, I began to understand the necessary suspension of disbelief in the enjoyment of movies, books, and stories.

    I'm back in my dad's camp after seeing this trailer.

    I see trees of green........ armored Bentleys too
    I see em zoom..... past me and past you
    And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world.

    I see skies of smoke..... RPG contrails of white
    Pepper spray-filled days....dark bullet-riddled nights
    And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world.

    The colors of bloody flesh.....so pretty ..in the sky
    Are also on the faces.....of people ..going by
    I see people shaking fists.....sayin.. f*ck you, too
    They're really sayin......I love you.

    I hear babies cry...... I watch as I drive by
    Passing land-mine filled fields.....and leave others to die
    And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world

    Except the Mayan calendar doesn't actually predict anything. It just ends at 2012. Basically because they didn't really need it to go any higher at the time.
