December 21, 2012: the end date of the sophisticated Long Count Calendar created by the ancient Maya in central America. Countless books and websites, magazine articles and newspaper headlines debate its meaning, with enth... more »usiasts in two camps: those forecasting apocalypse the end of time and those who see a coming renewal, a rebirth of consciousness.
Adding fuel to the debate, some scientists see the increasing number of natural disasters in recent years as evidence of a catastrophic climax of events in 2012. How much of what we re hearing is science and how much is superstition? In this film the leading researchers, writers and scientists in the field tell us exactly what this date means to them, why it s important, and what we should expect.
Featured in the film are Graham Hancock, John Major Jenkins, Daniel Pinchbeck, Alberto Villoldo, Anthony Aveni, Robert Bauval, Jim Marrs, Walter Cruttenden, Lawrence E. Joseph, Douglas Rushkoff, John Anthony West and Benito Vegas Duran.« less
Tanya P. (serendipity) from HOULTON, ME Reviewed on 3/15/2009...
A thought provoking documentary film which presents the expert 2012 opinions of multiple scientists and researchers. Its fairly sophisticated, and we've watched it twice already as we continue to extract information from the various experts. A very informative film for someone interested in the 2012 prophecy of the Mayan Calender and its similiarty to other societies that indicate similar events which may happen in 2012. Is our time up or will we be entering a Golden age of greater consciousness?

Movie Reviews
A great comprehensive look at 2012

"I had the pleasure of viewing an early screening of this documentary with a couple of its stars and I was very pleased how the film makers took no sides to the debate of what, if anything, will happen on December 21st, 2012. For every theory there was a counter theory. It even touched on the theory of a consciousness shift. It was a real objective approach to the subject that will be in everyone's mind very soon. The array of experts in this documentary was second to none. The Disinformation Company did a fine job on the production of this video. Take it from someone who watches as many 2012 videos as possible, you should not miss this definitive documentary, 2012: Science Or Superstition."
An Intreguing Overview

"I was impressed by this film--an interesting array of scientists discuss various aspects of the "2012" phenomenon, sometimes reaching opposing conclusions. Decided not alarmist or "doom and gloom," with just enough skepticism. An eye opener in the best sense."
Though-provoking & balanced

"I found the film to be very informative, regardless of pre-conceived notions of the 2012 phenomenon. The arguments presented here are not all doom and gloom OR new agey. The panel of interviewees is sensible and well balanced, especially in regards to the astronomical phenomenon and Mayan history. Certainly a thought-provoking piece in an age where change is inevitable."
Galactic Alignment.
Howard S. Gay Jr. | San Diego CA USA | 08/30/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Spectacular and beautiful is the photography and illustrations of the movements of the heavenly bodies, and this film contains outstanding discussions about the Galactic Alignment and end of the Mayan Calendar which was known to other civilizations such as the Incans, Egyptians and referred to in the Vedas apparently. The speakers are esteemed and astute authors, researchers and scientists. They seem very open, candid and unbiased and articulate. Esoteric information is discussed which is very compelling. They also add their personal views and hopes for the next age. Obviously this cycle has occurred before. There is much speculation about what can happen, all unknown. The peak of the sunspots/solar activity is expected to be in 2012. So i also suspect that the intense solar activity and global warming is also a natural consequence of the 26,000 year cycles. I believe the ice at the poles begins re-forming 15 years later, and that these also occur at the end of ea 26,000 year cycle. Also that a polar shift occurs at the end of each cycle, not a physical shift, but a magnetic pole shift which is merely a temporary interruption in man's activities, but can serve as an interum opportunity to reconsider lifestyle, Homo Luminous as told of by the Incas, or Homo Spiritus spoken of by Dr.David R. Hawkins, which is actually some years in progress now, or the Golden Rule and or Spirituality but that man continues to live in free choice. Great Presentation."
