Part 2/8:
At its core, 2012 is a reflection on a peculiar moment in history when the Mayan calendar was interpreted as predicting the end of the world on December 21, 2012. While this film was rooted in a bizarre myth, its presence as a satirical time capsule allows viewers to reminisce about the hysteria surrounding that period, much like the earlier Y2K phenomenon. The film's concept, though absurd with the passage of time, retains a playful allure, making it such that viewers still find joy in its rewatchability a decade later. But is 2012 genuinely a good movie, or has its charm faded under scrutiny?
