I went to the theater in the Butler plaza last Saturday. That was my first time to the theater in the US. Before that, I sometimes went to Gator night movies for free.
The theater here is nice and the ticket price is also inexpensive.
Science in the film 2012 is kind of absurd.
First, it says the the mantle of the earth is heated by the neutrinos. However, in reality, neutrinos barely interact with matter. There are tons of neutrinos filled in space. Neutrinos also penetrate our bodies quite frequently. Though, we don't feel that because those particles do not interact with us. That's also a reason that neutrinos are not easily detected even though they are believed to be everywhere. If neutrinos can heat the earth mantle as the film describes, we all will be burned to ashes by neutrinos before those earthquakes or volcano eruptions occur.
Second, geomagnetic poles can indeed reverse their orientation. However, they change gradually, ranging from tens of thousands to many millions of years. How can they change suddenly as they happen in the film? Well....probably, if the earth is heated thoroughly and loses it magnetism in a short time...
Anyway, the visual effects are good...
