Agree that the special effects on a wide screen are good cause to go to the theater! In the case of this particular film, being in a large group of unknown people adds to the effect of the theme.Though some of the scenes were a "bit of a stretch," the brotherhood of humanity is an excellent theme ...... as this will truely be the exonoration of the global population in 2012. Truely a new begining, and the acutual awareness of the "Age of Aquarius." This film seemed to include a representation of several of the major religions of the world ...... not just Judeo-Christian. *****Afterall, BROTHERHOOD of ALL MANKIND is what is most IMPORTANT!!!!!!!! WE ARE ALL SPIRITUALLY CONNECTED, LIKE IT OR NOT! How else will we ever attain World Peace?!
