The movie trilogy The Matrix was a real power at the box office from the day its first installment was released in 1999. The Wachowski brothers, who co-wrote and co-directed the trilogy, crafted films that fed the hunger of many modern moviegoers. The core idea of their trilogy has been a staple of science fiction for ages. A hero, otherwise an ordinary fellow, discovers that the seemingly ordinary world around him is in fact a counterfeit, which his enemies have crafted to keep him from knowing the shocking truth.

Whether it is tales of global warming gone amok, aliens arriving, or giant meteors destroying vast regions, it seems that movie-makers have long "had it in" for planet Earth and its inhabitants. One extreme example of this is the movie "2012" -- based on the premise that the Mayan calendar and other sources predict the end of civilization as we know it in December 2012. But what does the Bible say about 2012? And what should you and your loved ones be doing to prepare? You need to know!
