Nice movie about how the rich people survive

Rating: 2/10 (22 January 2010)

While I can't really say I'm enjoying the movie (I find it's a pretty big bore, and the disaster scenes at the beginning were way too unrealistic to be even remotely believable), I have to say it's astonishingly "honest" in how the directors expect that the rich people and the arrogant Americans will survive, while everyone else will get shafted. However, I don't really understand how they figured this would be appealing to audiences outside the United States. The movie has almost nothing to do with the Mayan calendar, though.. There are some vague references and allusions to it, but it's basically about how the rich people of the earth will survive, the Chinese people provide all the manpower and die anyway, and the rest of the world can just die. Sort of like the banking crisis.. The rest of the world supplies the loans and the goods, and the top 5% of US citizens reap the benefits.
