We’re so used to big explosions and disasters when it comes to “end of the world” scenarios. We somehow prefer looking at the physical destruction of landmarks rather than acknowledging the real human tragedy behind it all. Maybe it’s because humans by nature are afraid of the inevitability of their own demise. Destruction is ok, but death is taboo. Go figure!

In Don McKellar‘s movie, we totally ignore what causes the end of the world. Humans are about to be wiped off the planet and there seem to be no hope of survival. People have been aware for months and now they only have a few hours left. Last Night is a movie about how humans cope with fear.

2012 will be a disastrous year for us, according to the prophecies foretold by Hollywood screenwriters.

First of all, there will be a cataclysmic pole shift that will cause massive destruction everywhere around the globe. Amongst them, a megatsunami on Washington DC will make the USS John F. Kennedy crash straight on the White House (the probabilities are supposed to be high)! Unfortunately, every continent will submerge except Africa and billionaires will now repopulate the earth. How wonderful!

Meanwhile, in New York City, a “cure for cancer” gone wrong turned every human into zombie vampires. Of course, Will Smith will be one of the only survivors. In his free time, he’ll hunt animals in Times Square, try to seduce mannequins and enjoy Bob Marley quite a lot! I mean…what else could you do if you had New York City all to yourself?

Our economy will also crash down in 2012. Due to a significant rise of criminal activities and some serious money problems, the prisons will become privatised. In order to bring profit, the most notorious criminals (teamed up with hot chicks) will fight in death races. Of course, if everyone loses their jobs, it is only logical that such events would be shown on pay-per-view television and be widely popular. Providing a food and a shelter to your family is only a luxury after all.

The Dolorean can’t go to December 21 2012. The lady from “Team Fox” tried at least 6 times. THIS IS HEAVY!
