Do you mean all of the planets are going to be lined up?
Because I'm pretty sure the sun, Earth and moon line up pretty much every day 
ETA: EXACT lineups being eclipses.

lol
Actually, they don't line up always. I meant lining up with the center of the galaxy along with the other planets.

Ha, ok. And obviously the planets have lined up before, but there has never been an EXACT allignment, nor will there ever be in all probability.

They have, but they're all "supposedly" lining up with the center of the Milky Way. According to the Mayans, that's going to cause a disaster. We shall see.

I was trying to score some free tixs, so I wouldn't feel bad dropping $20+ for this movie, but I doubt it. There are better movies out there, tho'

I still think the reason the Mayan Calendar ended in 2012 was cause they were lazy! lmao. Or it was one of those where they thought 2012 was a good number, cause shoot that was a loooong time away for them.
I'm still iffy on this movie. My cousin and I actually went to the theater cause we were gonna see it and then realized it wasn't out yet.

Just saw it last night with a few sisters. It was very entertaining! Personally, I don't think it was as bad as the reviews led me to believe. The CGI was absolutely stunning. We got there just as it was starting and the theater was packed, so we had to split up and a few of us (including me) sat right in the first row, which was pretty intense. Someone said earlier in the thread that it would be very graphically beautiful, and they were right.
That said, there were lots of "Oh, come on!" moments and some definite plot holes. A lot of things that happened were just too serendipitious to believable. John Cusack and his family are the luckiest people alive, apparently. You just have to suspend your sense of disbelief or you're not going to enjoy it. Granted, it was a movie about the end of the world, so everything's going to be a bit far-fetched. But the science, especially, was pretty ridiculous.
Some parts really were funny... the Russian billionaire is a hilarious character. But on the whole, it was certainly an action movie, and I spent most of the time being very nervous. And 2.5 hours is a long time to be nervous! I don't think there was any part where it lagged, though, despite it being so long.
To those who have seen it... call me a heartless bitch, but I was definitely on Anheuser's side at the end.

Um, I think you summed it up pretty well. I have to throw in, from the moment "President Glover" appeared on the screen, I could not stop laughing.
Where do I even start with this movie? UGH...I did like the CGI, which is really why I went to see the movie. I will give away nothing so the rest of you can suffer as did I..oops I mean so you all can enjoy the movie.

I missed it this weekend, but I plan on seeing it next weekend. I keep hearing from people that it's an awesome movie.
