How long did you managed to watch it ?


I lasted 22 minutes and 6 seconds before I couldn't take it anymore :)

How long did you manage to keep watching?

I bought this in the 2 for $5 bin at the local China Outlet Store (you knoW Who I'm talking about) thinking it was "2012." Took me maybe 5 minutes to disabuse me of that fact. I was reading a good book at the same time so it ran in the background (deep, deep background) so I caught maybe 10 minutes of the whole thing.

Sadly though, "2012" (another China Outlet Store bargain I picked up yesterday) wasn't a hell of a lot better.

I actually really enjoyed...reading these posts. Like, a hundred times more than i enjoyed watching this horrible film!

Unfortunately i bought the DVD so felt i had to watch the whole thing. I think by the end you're supposed to feel all tranquil and...religious. Unfortunately all it left me feeling was really angry!

Got to twelve minutes but once that chick started on with her missionary balls that was it. I even managed to ignore the big stupid rock that smushed Raul but once the religion started... Toodles! That being said the big budget 2012 was a load of dogs bollix too.

The first time I got to the part where they find the gold cross in the Mayan temple, then I knew this was one of "those" movies and stopped in disgust.

But after reading all the IMDB comments & reviews, I decided to watch it again in a MST3K way, and it's so easy to make jokes at the movie's expense, like the scene where the guy's hanging over the lip of the chasm, with both him & the chick holding on to opposite ends of the gold cross. If I was that chick, I'd try to rip the cross up and let him fall, it's probably worth $75,000 from the gold value alone.

I remember cutting through scenes and putting it in fast forward.

All in all it was one of the most hilarious movies I have ever seen. You know, when a movie is so terrible it actually becomes funny and this happens especially when this is done unintentionally. I remember at least half of the actors' lines were just saying "ok, ok"...lol. I watched it with a friend and we laughed so hard! He got it from a friend of his who thought this was the 2012 original movie and watched it, and of course he was screwed! But I doubt it would be funny if I saw it alone. Horrible things in life you have to share :PP (just like beautiful)
