2012 DOOMSDAY

Cinemavixion Review

Nick Everhart's '2012 Doomsday' plunges viewers into a narrative steeped in prophecy and impending catastrophe. The film adeptly weaves together the perspectives of four disparate individuals drawn by fate to a sacred Mexican temple on the fabled Mayan end-date of December 21, 2012. As the titular date looms, the film juxtaposes cosmic anxieties, from NASA's scientific predictions of a polar shift to the spiritual weight of ancient Mayan calendars. The ensemble cast, featuring Cliff De Young, Dale Midkiff, and Ami Dolenz, navigates this existential journey with a palpable sense of unease. While the film grapples with grand themes of faith and the end of days, its strength lies in its intimate focus on the characters' personal quests amidst global foreboding, offering a thought-provoking, albeit bleak, contemplation of humanity's final moments.
