Nostradamus: 2012

Weak title, it has a lot of interesting information, but the way it is presented made me quite angry. I don't like when me as a viewer is believed to be a sheep.

Some things that should be explained by physicist are explained by astrologist and some things are explained WAY too many times.

In total there is interesting information, but there are also some weird assumptions that sound like "It is like that, because it is like that" It seems they lack ideas and information to present so they have filled up these one and half hour by presenting same information many many many times.

I suggest if you are interested in Nostredamus prediction and 2012 doomsday prediction you stick to wikipedia. You won't lose as much IQ doing some reading. I give four points because i liked some of animated scenes and part about Freemasons.

Don't get me wrong History is one of the best broadcasting channel on television but the documentaries shown are somewhat inclined to only view the other side of the spectrum is not mentioned. This is almost true for Nostradamus 2012. It gives a revelation of the upcoming catastrophic events before and in the year 2012 as predicted by the prophet Nostradamus. Although on paper this sounds compelling but the theories produced are not practical in nature. I ask, why are all the predictions about are future so dire and disturbing? Year 2012 is no different from any other the views put forward don't have any scientific backing. Is a decent view but should not be taken as the truth.

I thought I was going to hear something interesting about Nostradamus' predictions in this History Channel documentary. Sadly, I was very disappointed seeing that the documentary only stated about "galactic alignment". Every 10 minutes or so, we hear the narrator talking about galactic alignment, which is quite disappointing as this is a 90 minute documentary! On the other hand, it was good to see Gregg Braden, who is the author of the Divine Matrix and the interviews were kinda okay. However, seeing this documentary made me realize that the History Channel is very biased. I mean, the end of the world?! Didn't Nostradamus predict something in 1999 about Genghis Khan? The documentary should have taken an alternative side as to what else might have happened, which angered me.

I really knew this was gonna be total BS but it saddens me to think that mass-media notions still fool modern people into believing the end of the world.

if you like a pseudo science and hour and a half maybes then this is a movie for you. the people they interview are not scientists and they are talking a lot of crap through out the movie. every prophecy by notradamus (which is already very vague) is explained with a maybe this maybe that, basically, after watching this movie i learned only one thing - people are able to interpret everything into anything. some of their facts are wrong (the bible codes have been widely discussed and refuted), they talk about pictures and connect them to something that we know today (spiral in the book??? no!! nostradamus knew that is out galaxy!! what a genius).

if you need to kill time without learning anything this is a movie for you. if you don't want to destroy your brain, don't watch this.

btw - i'm also a prophet - i see that 2012 will be like the other end days people foretold (2006, 2000, 1999 and so on). i can also see that the people who made this movie (which already say their not sure) will make another movie and find another date to hang on too.

Although I would be slightly inclined to agree with kranav's comment, I still feel that the History Channel did a fairly good job delving into this topic as it is very controversial. To be quite honest, I was hoping it would be longer than it was.

There is always one person saying "I can predict the next 500 years and I'm sure we'll be able to match an event up with at least on my predictions", the different is, Nostradamus has accurate predictions. Although his method with his drawings may seem ambiguous to some, there can only be so much that they can define. If someone is able to match up an event that has taken place or and event that will take place with his Quatrains then the only thing you can really do is consider it a possibility. All I can say is, be open to the possibilities when watching this movie and don't think that Dec 21st 2012 will be the end of the world as it can also be start of a new beginning.
