and my friends and I actually turned it off after about 45 min because the acting was SO BAD... (and then my friend called and said he downloaded the wrong version -- LOL!).
But I have to say I'm disappointed at a lot of the sentiments put on here. I would have hoped that I would have heard more comments like those from leilany 2 and Jo Naras -- 'they can break the Kaaba but not our faith', 'God is strong enough to defend himself' kind of things...
Salman-s: Let's work on your analogy a little bit. Nobody is knifing God. Newsflash: God isn't a flesh-and-blood person. He isn't physical and you can't kill him or hurt him.
A better analogy would be to say that someone said "your mother is stupid and ugly".
Would you issue a death threat on the person who said that?
I think most reasonable people would be pissed off, might tell the person to eff off, they'd think that person a huge, useless wanker, but I don't think they'd grab the nearest sharp object and impale the speaker for those 6 little words.
If God is so great then I think he can handle this without you guys threatening anybody that rolls their eyes at the mention of his name.
It's a MOVIE from Hollywood, land of make-believe.
The movie's premise is that a supernova destroys nearly everything on the planet. You see these flaming projectiles hurtling towards the earth, smashing into buildings and mountains....
Bearing THIS in mind, it doesn't seem likely that anything would escape destruction.
Which is why it seems perfectly reasonable, given THAT story line, for the film-makers to want to show worldwide destruction of things -- the Eiffel Tower, Sugarloaf Mountain, the White House, the Vatican, the Taj Mahal,....
Get the idea?
The damage is spread out over the various continents, affecting all nations and all people, indicating universal suffering from this catastrophic event.
Sigh...this region is certainly not (and probably never will be) a bastion of critical thinking and inquiry at this rate...
