It's easy to understand why an advanced civilization would want to help preserve species of another world. We take zoo animal from Africa and bring them here.
ok any1 remember the time capsule date? that date said 1959 to 2009? why did the whole earth ended at 2009 with fire everywhere if right know is 2011!? And NyC is still the same lol
@kernyui45 this was never based on true facts, this is just a movie, they never prediicted that the world would end in 2009, they just made it up in a movie
I love that end... with all the terror still hopefull 'This isn't the end son'. The old man accepted his end and knew it was destined. Cage's role was sceptic in the beginning and he eventually started to believe and that's why he says 'I know' and he finally is reunited with his old man at the end.
if the world is going to end and if v all diei prfer to die like this rather than get drowend by a tsunami,thats more painfull and it takes time for the proscess...
SamusV4, you wouldn't have a single second. This film's ending is quite realistic, but the solar flares managed to traverse across the empty space between the Sun and Earth in such a speed that you would burst into solar plasma particles in less than half a second. You have my sympathy 'if this ever happened', as does everyone else.
Well I wouldn't do it at the last minute like an idiot, I'd do it as soon as I discover that it's coming, like the main guy does at the beginning of the movie. I'd want to get off the planet ASAP lol
Don't worry, SamusV4. I'm pretty sure that the military and government technology is far more advanced than it is in the movies. The government would want to keep the true capabilities of their technology hidden. Henceforth they would probably have us light years away from our solar system if not our Galaxy before such an apocalyptic scenario would begin.
I figure as much, but since our government is so fucking greedy, I doubt it would be cheap to pay for such a trip. See the movie 2012 and you'll get what I mean.
I just have, on DVD. I came to Youtube to see the ending again in terrible quality... I actually came to see other people's thoughts on the ending. We have a greedy Government, Barack Obama may be helping Climate Change, but only for HIS benefits. Humans are all selfish beings, even religious people are selfish. A Priest may be generous, but still holds thoughts of self-righteousness. We Humans only decide what would be best for us and only us. NEXT COMMENT>>
SECOND REPLY>> We Humans only decide what would be best for us and only us. If there were two men at the end of the world. These two men were the kindest men known in the Universe. A higher being, be it God or an Alien, says "Only one of you may live to survive the end of the world", one of the men would not take their own life or let their life be taken for the other man. A man would, however, take his life for a loved on.
This is basing morality on a situation to situation basis. In said situation I believe any out come would not be seen as immoral as you think it would. If one man were to kill the other, he would be the last human being alive thus making him the majority and what he saw as moral to live would be in fact just that. Egoism cannot hold its ground in arguments and morality or what is right and wrong is subject to change as history has proven.
Uaohio, very wise words indeed! Don't ear the apples from that tree! Actually, the new planet they have been placed upon seems quite alien-like. I wonder what type of 'fruit' grows on THAT tree...
u know i agree that those were aliens not angels cause if they were angels and that were heaven woudlnt THEY HAVE TAKEN THE DADS DAD i mean he was a priest they would have takin him too then
what's to say those kids were going to heaven? and the dad was going to hell? the angels (imo) were doing a different selective process, one to decide who would continue the human race.
I like this ending. 1. it showed our planet being destroyed, which i like, other movies chicken out with some unworthy way of sparing us (see Deep Impact - the final scene will crack you up). 2. even though our world ended, our kind continued in the children. That's good to think about. my opinion
Which, eerily enough, could be the truth behind our religions- I mean, I don't know for certain. Anything is possible, right? It's knowing that is hard. <<<LOL, see what I did there? :P
What I thought was interesting was that the movie tried to make them appear more than just your typical alien showing up and being confused for an angel or a god. I seemed like they were trying to blur the line between natural and supernatural on that one. Rather clever concept. I haven't seen it much anywhere else.
Well, it's a scientific fact that our minds leave out a lot of information when processing visual data from our eyes. Back in the caveman days, humans would have seen these giant ships as entirely supernatural phenomena. Someone in the 21st century, after exposure to sci fi, might have an easier time discerning natural from supernatural. Who knows.
Well what struck me was the weird elements that they combined with the alien/ufo trope; notably the telepathy and precognition and the part with the aliens being energy beings.
I remember in a philosophy of mind class there being a school of thought known as neutral monism that suggested that deep down the world isn't composed of either matter (natural) or mind (supernatural), but something more fundamental though rationalistic. The way they blended these elements here reminded me of that.
The concept for these beings likely invoked every known characteristic of angels and aliens as described in legends. That is indeed a merging of natural and supernatural Johanan. It's necessary, so that way viewers can believe what they want: religious peeps will call them angels, Sitchin-aficionados will call them aliens. Both camps are satisfied. The "third way" of neutral monism works like that.
Yo when this movie ended though I was with my dad. I looked over to him and said, yo now this time if someone tells you "don't eat the apple off that tree," DON'T F***NG EAT IT ! no matter how hungry you are.
Why is it that every time the world is going to end or might have a chance of ending New york City is always the first to know. at least according to hollywood.
Its because New York is seen as a hub of life and progress and it has the statue of liberty. If something so large and mighty could fall, its meant to give you the feeling that anything could fall.
no get it it isnt over blah blah blah well be peacful to heaven hes basically trying to say to him is like its not gonna be horrible afterwards you know
Ok, NO... A Super flare like that is simply impossible. Our sun is still young to produce such that thing. Actually, in the moment that our sun is able to do that, It will be SO big, that probably our planet will be already death (oceans evaporated, etc) But, take it easy! It will take to the Sun about some billion of years to be like that... By then, We'll be living in other planets, space ships, moons, etc!!
Assuming we dont kill each other to get that far. There are a miriad of ways our society can end. Eventually, one day, the human race will end. Either we die due to some catastrophe, or we kille each other, or we evolve to a higher plane of exsistance. Im hoping for the evovling one.
pkscolax, a lot of people will get their beloved McDonalds when the world gets 'crispy fried'. Seeing as there are plenty of McDonalds buildings around the Earth, the solar flare will probably incinerate them enough for McDonalds food products to be sent into the air. Take a last breath, enjoy the whole meal. Mind the bricks, windows and other inedible objects.
ain't tryin 2 sound like a nerd here but even if any1 did survive the 'cooking' of earth they wouldn't live much longer as all the water would have been vaporised on the surface. the film is ok if u watch the first half and then leave after that. the 2nd half really ruined it and made it unrealistic.
This movie is kinda retarded, no action much? They don't even try to escape... what retards. I woulda dug a 20 ft hole and shove a 20 ft ladder down there and seal the door with a Platinum Vault casing. I might as well use all my money on it since I won't be needing it.
Might as well save myself and my little buddy to repopulate all the chi-chis out there who are smart enough to dig their on hole :)
If you were smart you would know there is no escaping that. Nothing that we could build could withstand that kind of heat. The movie made a lot of sence. Besides 20 feet? The at heat would incinerate miles into the surface. Learn your science. You would have incinertaed in your little hole.
@derekmorris89 Aye, in Pompei people tried to hide in some underground areas near the sea as I recall, and I guess the heat passing over made the inside of the cave like an oven, cooking everyone inside.
This movie was GRIM, the plane scene was just fucking grim. Then again, the apocalypse scene wasn't that much better. wtf @ the guy banging a trash can lid on someone sitting next to him on top of a car.
I saw this movie Sunday, and all I can say is that I'll never fly a plane again, and it makes me think that a super flare from the actually could happen, it's possible. So it really does make you think about the end of the world. Oh, and the ending was a huge let down.
