გლობალური კატასტროფისა და მთელი პლანეტის სიკვდილის იდეა ახალი არ არის, მაგრამ ამჟამინდელ კრიზისულ სამყაროში ის უფრო მიმზიდველია. მასზე საუბრები განსაკუთრებით გახშირდა 2012 წელს, როდესაც მაიას კალენდრის მიხედვით გლობალური კატასტროფა იყო მოსალოდნელი. ახლა ეს უკვე წარსულია და მას კინოში ბევრი ნამუშევარი მიეძღვნა. ამ თემას არაერთმა რეჟისორმა მიმართა. მათ შორის არიან სტივენ სპილბერგი და ლარს ფონ ტრიერი. …
