Movie Reviews of 2012 The Odyssey
Movie Review: An inspiration!
Summary: 5 Stars
As an eighteen year old who is concerned about the future of the planet and humanity I was touched on a very deep level by the beauty and message of 2012 The Odyssey. Director Sharron Rose interviews experts on the subject who have done a tremendous amount of research on the Mayan calendar and other prophesies from many traditions. Their message speaks to my heart as well as my mind. I was especially moved by the words of Alberto Villoldo and Jay Weidner concerning the issues that confront us and power that we have within us to shape our future.
I am so tired of the doom and gloom, fear-based programs that are presented on the mainstream television. The way that they are edited seems to touch only on the superficial and sensational aspects of our world. 2012 The Odyssey is different. It sheds new light on the issues of our times and offers a new vision of possibility for us. As Alberto says in the film, it is time for us all to wake up from our "cultural trance" and come together to create a world of harmony and beauty.
I love nature. The beauty of the forest, the greenery, the animals and the streams, gives me peace of mind and joy. I am saddened by the fact that people these days do not seem to care about our natural environment. I am concerned about the destruction of the environment and wonder what the future holds in store for my generation. So I was pleased to discover in the film the final statement written on the Georgia Guidestones, " Leave room for nature, leave room for nature." I wish there were more films like this one.
Movie Review: An Informative and Uplifting Video Regarding 2012
Summary: 5 Stars
By design, this is not a pop-culture, fast-cut video for people with short attention spans. Rather, it moves gently like a guided meditation (backed by an etheric musical soundtrack no less) for those ready to hear a heart-opening message of spiritual ascension. Sharron Rose's calm and soothing voice all but invites you to sit back, take a few deep breaths, and truly ponder what so many cultures throughout history have deduced... that as we near the fateful year of 2012, humanity will be faced with a choice like no other in history. Our material world is destabilizing at an accelerating rate, challenging us to ponder what will follow: Are we doomed? Or, as the scholars and spiritualists in this video suggest, is this just the painful birth process necessary to deliver us to a plane of true higher awareness? You should not be surprised to learn that the choice between humanity's extinction or ascension will be (as it has always been) up to us.
If you need to have your 2012 fears confirmed with a titillating piece of fluff, you can watch that any day on the History Channel or YouTube. But if your spirit is sending out a message of hope that your brain is just now beginning to understand, this video will help keep the channels of communication between the two open. Highly recommended.

Movie Review: A Journey To Our Future Possibilities
Summary: 5 Stars
The predictions surrounding the ominous date of December 21st, 2012 are plentiful and often a bit "freaky". This video is a delightful exception! We follow a personal journey of discovery across the USA as Sharron Rose gets in her car in the Northwest forests and ventures cross-country (and across time!) through beautiful scenery and amazing scenarios. Her travels are punctuated with discussions traversing mostly unfamiliar - and FASCINATING - facts and theories based on little known historical artifacts, ancient structures and writings of learned philosophers and religious adventurers. These well-respected scholars and writers enlighten us to The Mysteries that have been "hidden"...which means that they simply have not been included in our mediocre educational system which typically focuses on the generic and mundane. After my first viewing, I immediately watched it again as it was filled with so much new information, I wanted to take more time to both understand these amazing revelations and to let the beauty of the positive options for our collective future presented "sink in". The quality of the film was outstanding and I fell in love with our guide Sharron. Having viewed MANY dvds featuring 2012 possibilities, I say this one is by far the best, especially for those who are just discovering the 2012 "prophecies". If there was ONE dvd on the 2012 phenomena to watch/buy...this is it !Movie Review: The best documentaries on 2012 created
Summary: 5 Stars
With all of the current media doomsday hype and sensationalism concerning 2012 it is refreshing and inspiring to see two films, 2012 the Odyssey and its beautiful sequel Timewave 2013 Timewave 2013: The Future Is Now - The Odyssey IIthat clearly speak to the real issues that we are facing as human beings. In addition, rather than focusing on the "fear factor" and the "end of the world", these films offer an opportunity for audiences to wake up from the cultural trance imposed upon us and take responsibility for our future.
2012 The Odyssey is a very informative and intelligent film. It was the first film concerning the subject and in my opinion, clearly the best. The interviews are excellent and gave me much food for thought. It is a film that can be watched and savoured many times. I was taken with the director's journey to discover the prophecies around the year 2012 and her deep concern over what is happening socially, environmentally and psychologically. Are we reaching the end of time? I don't know but this film is certainly a wake up call.
Movie Review: Inspirational
Summary: 5 Stars
I was vaguely aware about the importance of the date with regard to the Mayan calendar and that there was some cosmic, astronomic aspect as well. This movie brought so much of that vague knowledge into sharp focus. It made me interested enough to read some of the writings by the various interviewees (and interviewer).
The most startling thing to me was the very positive approach -- this is not an 'end of the world' scenario. It offers a very hopeful vision of what can be if we have the strength and courage to make it so.
I have to admit I got tired of looking at the car as the narrator made her odyssey, but I never tired of the shots of the forests and mountains she traveled through -- and she's got a great hat!
I would recommend this to anyone looking for an introduction to these mysteries surrounding 2012. It will focus your search in a very positive and life-affirming way.
