The musical accompaniment makes the heart pounding faster and faster .
Spaces of the Internet filled with talk about the film and the end of the world. On popular sites created specifically for the communication of like-minded people seriously discuss how to overcome the global cataclysm that survive Armageddon ... It should be noted that over the last couple of years have flooded dozens of movie screens disaster movies . Here are just a few: " The Day After Tomorrow ," " Volcano ," " Earthquake ," " Deep Impact ," " Poseidon ," "The Omen ," " Armageddon ," " The Day the Earth Stood Still ", " Avalanche ", " Tsunami " " Flood ", "Sunshine ", " Earth's core ..."

REAL IS MYTH
According to the filmmakers , by 2012, solar activity will increase. The process will be accompanied by the release of an increasing number of neutrinos - ultra-light particles having a terrible penetrating power. Today, nuclear physics says that the ability of all three types of neutrinos and antinitrino ( muon , electron and tau neutrinos) interact with matter is very low. If the Sun to establish a sphere of water with diameter of 100 light years , it is only a layer of material will capture all the neutrinos are emitted luminary ! According to the authors of the idea of ;;the film, by 2012 solar neutrinos will be not just quantitatively more. The particles will have a new ability to interact with the substance of the Earth , which will lead to heating of the planet's core . In the film, astrophysics , thermal physics , theoretical physics, obuediniv effort immersed equipment in ultra-deep pit filled with water. ? Liquids begins to warm up , as the whole Earth.
As we can see , there are no scientific grounds for such volunteer assumptions do not exist. The filmmakers have come up with this hypothetical situation to colorfully portray the Earth's crust fractures in which a civilization disappears . With the same ease suggests that by 2012, will cease to operate postulates Niels Bohr and the electrons fall to the nucleus of atoms. There will be a collapse of matter : its volume is reduced to 10 000 times and has cleared a huge amount of energy. But entertainment is not work. And this is not a film about the shoot. In Hollywood, the Sun must capture . Remember when the plane with the main characters get away from the earthquake , he absolutely must fly past the falling skyscrapers. It's ridiculous , but it looks wonderful !
Who will save ?
Who will be saved in the Flood, which will disappear when all the continents ? Apparently, the powers that be who paid a billion euros for a ticket to the new arks that will stand the tsunami more than a kilometer , whirlpools monstrous and terrible earthquake. No moral values ;;is not required . Enough skill to earn good money . In the struggle for survival will not win the pious and the strongest . How dramatically this mythical flood is different from the actual one described in the Bible in the first pages of the book of Genesis. Noah built the ark hundred years before the whole world , so that people seeing the righteous thing , thinking about his life, reformed , because the Lord says, " My Spirit will not always strive with man to be , because he also is flesh days shall be an hundred and twenty years " . ( Gen.6 3 ) . It was only later deadline for correction of these people has been reduced to a hundred years, because the long-suffering of God led them not to correct , and to an increase in the severity of their sins. So overlook St. Ephraim the Syrian ( c. 306 - June 9, 373) and St. John Chrysostom ( c. 347 - 14 September 407) in their interpretations of the book of Genesis.
In the film , people learn about future disaster -2012 for three years. And the powers that be are beginning preparations for the salvation of mankind secret from everyone, with false assurances of security by physically destroying those who suspected the impending disaster. As a result, the arks are mostly fat cats , lying politicians , the children of oligarchs. If you get out there and people with low incomes , because only scientists , athletes and rare representatives of the world of art. The main characters would have no chance of escape if the filmmakers will not lead them through unimaginable adventure ark, hidden in the foothills of Tibet, through the collapsing world , and death. Here is humanity , according to the filmmakers , and will survive in future disasters .
Topic of the Apocalypse in the last decade has become very fashionable. The fantastic novel "Metro 2033" - on the Moscow metro will save lives , " lucky " after a nuclear war. This is one of the top best sellers in recent years, bought 300,000 books , translated into dozens of languages ;;, the title of Europe's best debut . "Metro 2034" - the long-awaited continuation of this novel. In just six months the number of readers of "Metro 2034" on the Internet has reached half a million fans have written a novel about the preceding events - "Metro 2032 ". It seems that soon will be a film adaptation of the novel , the content of which is in the spirit of Western disaster movies . The Russian authors also believe that the future will be very bad , and the best man win . This philosophy is not new. In the 19th century it was preached by Friedrich Nietzsche. " The weak and the losers must die first position of our love for the man. And they should still help. What is more harmful than any vice? - The active compassion for all failures and weak - Christianity. " " Falling push " , understood in the sense of " what does not kill us makes us stronger." Nietzsche wrote in his well-known works. What has resulted is a worldview - a favorite of Adolf Hitler's philosophy , the official philosophy of the Third Reich - is well known .
End or the beginning ?
As we Orthodox Christians refer to such films and books ? In the Old Testament apocalypse (3 Ezra ) and in the New Testament book of Revelation says that future disasters will be linked to the moral decline of humanity. They will all grow and grow , and people will languish in fear and impending disaster , but will not be corrected , but there will be more to blaspheme God. And Christ, speaking of the last days , compares them with the time before the Flood , when people ate , they drank, until the water came and destroyed them all.
Products, we are talking about , on the one hand, tickles the nerves. On the other - makes it possible to quietly observe the destruction of mankind with Pepsi-Cola in one hand and popcorn in the other, to return back to their daily business without any thought of God. The media is constantly heard many prophecies about the end of the world, related to a technocratic development of mankind and celestial factors (falling meteorites , the emergence of new types of radiation , changes in the world of physical constants , global climate change ... ) . But some of these predictions come true , others are too exaggerated , others are pushed boundless future , and the fourth can be overcome by the same technocratic development of mankind , such as the search for alternative energy sources. People believe in the power of his mind , and when they hear klikusheskie prophecies about the exact date of the end of the world, skeptical smile , remembering the false predictions kakih-nibud "totalitarian sects." The Apostle Peter spoke about this phenomenon in his Second Epistle : " Knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come , coming after their own lusts , And saying, Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep , from the beginning of creation, everything remains the same ... "(2 Pet.3 :3 -4). There will be , they say, no end of the world.
When will the end of the world , we do not know and can not know , " But of that day and hour no one knows , not even the angels of heaven, but only the Father ..." ( Matf.24. 36,37 ) . But is the soul of the Orthodox Christian must be absorbed eschatological horrors and events before the end of the world? And do we have to " fail them for fear, and for [ disaster ] , coming on the earth " ( Luk.21 : 26) ? No, a thousand times no ! "... When you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God" ( Luk.21 : 31). It is not in the eternal kingdom of the Antichrist , we are waiting! Kingdom of Antichrist - only 42 months, and the kingdom of Christ will be no end , like bliss righteous : " And shall coming in glory to judge the living and the dead and His kingdom will have no end ... I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life to come . Amen. "
