A pretty good movie. In terms of special effects, everything is done quite well and realistically. Well, of course, technology plus a lot of money always works wonders. As for the plot, don't expect anything unusual, and it's not the main focus in such films anyway. I don't know if it's still showing in theaters, but it's best to watch it on a big screen or, at worst, on DVD, with a home theater system and a good TV.
By the way, the plot itself is not mystical, but rather science fiction. The connection between the changes in the Sun, which triggered the great apocalypse, and the Mayan calendar is not explained. Perhaps it was just a coincidence. It raised a few questions and doubts for me, but maybe that's because I wasn't paying close enough attention or didn't have enough knowledge. But regardless, the film is very good and, as a continuation of the good traditions of "The Day After Tomorrow," is quite successful, no matter how you look at it.
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.
G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal
