Satnam and his family not surviving despite being one of the key people finding out this would happen is actually heartbreaking

[@tonyj9743]

Personally, I would have had my family living on the ark site to make damn sure they get on safe, but thats just me.

[@darkshogun5887]

It's not only heartbreaking, it's disrespectful. Without Satnam and his team they wouldn't have known about the situation until it was probably too late. They should have had a military helicopter land as close to his house or lab as possible as soon as they saw that things were going south.

[@Elizabeth-iv3gn]

This scene was heartbreaking. He was one of the people who discovered what was happening, he was promised to get picked up, despite getting 'f*cked over', in his last few moments, he called up Adrian to warn him about the tsunami, wasn't bitter and said, "goodbye my brother"... 😭🤧

[@Xylarxcode]

He knew Adrian wasn't in charge of pick up. Adrian's a scientist, not a politician or rich guy with a lot of swaying power. Satnam was the key scientist who discovered the earliest signs of what was about to happen, which allowed for all the preparations they were able to make and Adrian thought that would be enough for him to get picked up. Who knows, maybe that really was the initial plan but it got cancelled or shifted around in the chaos and the guy in charge didn't see it in time, because he's got too much on his plate already. Everyone was scrambling just to get a bare minimum of survivors. As much as I hate to admit it, Anheuser was most likely right when he said there was no conspiracy theory to screw Satnam over. Adrian's predictions really didn't pan out as planned and that's not even his fault. Like everyone else, he was working to convert a lot of new data in a very short amount of time and didn't have the luxury of doublechecking a lot of his data, which caused a lot of errors. He, like everyone else, was scrambling to get any kind of solution done in time and had to rush a lot of his information out the door too soon. Satnam, sadly, just got lost in all the chaos and craziness of Earth's impending disasters and all the preparations mankind's leaders had to make to form a survival plan. No one planned to kill him, he's just a victim of unfortunate circumstances, same as billions of others.

@@Xylarxcode Yeah, you're right. When I said he got 'f*cked over', I meant he kind of did, but I know they didn't leave him behind on purpose, especially someone who is intelligent and can contribute to the future. I never saw Anheuser as a villain, like you said, he did his best to save as many people as he can and organise the whole operation. I really liked his character, same with Adrian, towards the end, when they clashed over letting people on and off, they both had a point and was two people scrambling to continue the human race.

Let's face it, if this disaster scenario actually happened, this is exactly how it would go down, the rich would take care of themselves and leave the rest of us to die.

[@Xylarxcode]

I mean, when a disaster of this magnitude happens and they only have 3 years of warning to work with, this is probably the best they can do. So yes, in that sense, it's 'realistic'. (A word I use very loosely to describe anything in this movie, lol). It really is the best they can do. It's just not feasible to save everyone. You have to make a plan and see it to fruition in only three years time before the Earth cracks open like an egg and entire continents shift and relocate. You need all the rich and powerful people to make a project of that magnitude happen quickly.

[@LizardGulps]

No if it were real the rich would get shot by the military at the last minute who would allow their own families and extra space would probably go to some scientists, engineers, or anybody else who had knowledge or utility.

[@Mapantz1]

​@@Xylarxcode Money will be worthless, so what point is there in handing any over to fund such a project?

[@Xylarxcode]

@@Mapantz1 How else would you suggest they build the arks? Just ask all the powerful governments of the world to donate billions of currency worth in equipment and materials for free so they can build survival arks that probably won't include you or your family, since you don't have the skills to help rebuild the new world. Instead, we'll be picking people like engineers, farmers, doctors and construction workers. Basically anyone with a job that can contribute to rebuilding and re-stabilizing the world. Which would almost certainly not include politicians or the rich fat cats that don't know how to do an honest day's labor, because they've never had to. You want to ask these people for the materials you need to build the arks, but in exchange, they're gonna want a ticket aboard. If not, why would they help you build the ark? They take the money from the rich and the powerful because they need it and in return, the rich and the powerful get a ticket aboard. No money, no arks. If you ask them to make the arks for free, because humanity's very survival depends on it, little will change. In order to get the materials and the equipment you need, you'll still need to deal with the people in charge. People from the government and the rich and powerful that control all these resources and they're still going to want the same thing. A ticket aboard the arks in return for their materials.

[@prince-solomon]

There is a reason why rich people are building bunkers in mountains for years, not to speak of government DUMBs. This scenario happened before, 12k years ago, it's about to happen again. The countdown to disaster is the ongoing magnetic pole shift (that mainstream science still denies, despite clear evidence). It's accelerating and our cycle is almost over. Nothing out of the ordinary, it's a normal cycle for this planet.

[@perrycarters3113]

Having room for 10 people doesn't mean having adequate food, medicine, entertainment, or indeed security measures for all of them. Stuff hundreds of people in cramped living conditions for a prolonged period of time, and disease will spread like wildfire, and you'd strain your food and medicine supplies to the point of breaking very quickly. I'd rather the survivors have 10x as much food or medicine as they think they will need to save the human race, than having just enough food and medicine.

I strongly disliked this part of the film. A lot of virtue signalling nonsense, no there was no extra room. Human cargo are not measured by volume but life support. Each person requires a set mass of resources for the journey and the reconstruction afterwards. You also do not fill enclosed sealed spaces with people, unless you want to execute them. These arks are sealed and will have to remain sealed until the danger passes, that could well be weeks or months.

satellites are in orbit, you need to task them ahead of time to look at specific areas, even then the reality is they still require to this day human observation. so unless someone expected something that way, tasked the satellite, and was actively looking. It's unlikely to have been picked up.

This is a special movie bacause It´s as bad as it´s good.

The doctor is angry because how many resources are being wasted in exchange of luxury, and on the other sided there´s people saying, quite literally, "It´s not a conspiracy". Everyone is trying the best they can in between the chaos. For some that might mean that "If we´re all gonna die, at least let´s enjoy what litlle we have left", therefore the seemingly pointless luxury. There´s a ton of underrated topics in this movie.

Yeah but when you're in a literal end of the world scenario...money literally means nothing. The reality of it is that foregoing monetary value, they could have built a massive number of Arks to fit so many more people. Once the world officially ends, then a new civilization will start, meaning new trade methods, new currency, everything. Nothing of the old world would have any real value aside from being a point of history. So it makes no sense to save only the billionaires who are going to be as poor as any Joe Schmoe once the waves hit. It makes some sense to preserve history...but it's a waste of space to save art in this instance.

Borrowing or printing billions would need a lot of manpower which is basically the general public and they'd get alerted followed by the whole world's population and these "hush-hush" projects would never come to fruition due to utter anarchy and chaos. So they needed to do these hush-hush big buck transactions from the rich ones who could afford it - who were less in number and could be convinced to keep their lips sealed for their own benefit.

And what was the original plan? They have these military people, and the uber rich, and then what? They would have headed to Africa with Prince Charles and UBS and the president and then what? Forced Survivors to grow their food and construct their new mansions? They planned on leaving the Chinese workers behind, so they weren't supposed to be the work force. Reminds me of the billionaires at the end of "Don't Look Up"; no people to do anything for them, of course they died hours after landing on a new planet!

[@Hunpecked]

They met the survivors from Battlestar Galactica and had them do the work. 🤣🤣 Seriously, they had hundreds of thousands (2012 wiki says 2 million), so there were plenty to do the work, plus they probably brought agricultural machinery. Also, since Africa survived relatively intact (though uplifted), there were probably many survivors there.

[@lexxstrum]

@@Hunpecked Imagine you survive some horrible disaster; for all you know you're the last of humanity. And then a bunch of billionaires in boats made in China show up and essentially tell you they're in charge and YOU'RE growing the food for them. You ok with that? Also, they certainly didn't do the entire "pick a good cross section of humanity for maximum genetic diversity,"; they sold seats to the mega rich and political insiders. We're never shown anything but rich people, military folks and government people. And then they add a ton of labor from China.

[@Hunpecked]

@@lexxstrum The worldwide number of dollar billionaires in 2021 was under 3,000 (I looked it up). I'm guessing the lesser billionaires couldn't even afford a single billion euro ticket. As for the other passengers, the surviving US leader says, "We had geneticists determine the perfect gene pool to repopulate." Interpret that how you will, but I assume genetic diversity is part of "the perfect gene pool". Of course allowing thousands of non-selected people aboard at the last minute probably added a bit of a wild card to the calculations. Africa's population was over a billion in 2012, and according to the film, "...it likely never even flooded." Depending on where the arks land, their passengers may end up working for far more numerous (and probably armed) natives. 😁

Africa is the least urbanized continent, so presumably more people would survive whatever earthquakes struck. I assume the arks would land in one of the least affected areas, which is also where the most people would survive. According to the film, the skies were clearing by the 27th day.

The politicians would have priority. And since the government didn't want to build the Arks then it's only fair that those who paid should be saved.

[@gaylescovel7308]

I think not on the politicians. Its a matter of who has the dirt on whom to be saved. Myorkas comes to mind. Now i know why he smirked most of the time when being questioned.

He literally explained that they had geneticists choose a large portion of the passengers, and sold tickets to the wealthy to fund the construction. You literally cannot do JUST the geneticists route, even if that is the "most" fair. The amount of funding needed, in addition to the discretion required to move that money in ways that won't raise alarms or suspicions to the general public, was *enormous*. Trillions of government dollars from every participating nation can't suddenly start disappearing into a vacuum without lesser dignitaries or functionaries raising eyebrows or even blowing whistles. COULD the governments have funded it all themselves? Sure, but that level of cooperation and financial movement would immediately draw attention. So they needed to raise the money FAST, and they needed to do it relatively quietly. So you take the money from the super-wealthy, and you make it EXTREMELY clear that if they attempt to blow the whistle or if they leak anything, those tickets will be revoked, assuming they are not simply murdered quietly. What were they gonna do? Construct gargantuan walls around every single major city?

Not comfortably, and not with any privacy, but four stacks of three-high US Navy coffin racks would go in there just fine, especially after eliminating the desk and separate en suite bathroom. The trick then is feed ten to twelve times as many passengers.

One has to wonder why a great many musicians, certainly extremely popular and wealthy musicians, as well as athletes, and other dignitaries, are doing things like sell their music rights and catalogues (musicians), retiring early (athletes), and donating much of their wealth (the Gates', mostly MacKenzie, along with other Uber-wealthy types in Business, finance, politics, etc...), as if they've been informed that "something", is coming. The musician's "cashing out", was the most eye-opening, for me, as a former musician. From Taylor Swift, to Justin Bieber; from Katy Perry, to Metallica, so many HUGE musical artists selling their back catalogues and/or rights to their previous music, and maybe even their FUTURE music, is shocking, to say the least. Certainly in the case of Metallica, who has come full circle, since these guys are the ones who fought Napster, in court, in regards to "rights".
