Trivia
The title refers to the end-date of the 13th b'ak'tun of the Long Count calendar, used by the Mayan Meso-American civilization. In their creation myth, we live in the fourth "attempt" at creating the world, while the third attempt was dismissed as a failure after its own 13th b'ak'tun. Though Mayan documents contain no such information, a popular myth stated that the calendar "ended" on that date, and certain religions predicted an apocalyptic event on that date. The Long Count calendar can express dates from about 3000 BC (their date for the creation of the world) to about 40 octillion years in the future. It's almost impossible to express that date in a mortally comprehensible fashion.

Goofs
Jackson removes the strap holding the Bentley's front tire in place, but he never removes the strap from the back tire. It's still in place when Gordon gets in the car. How were they able to leave?

After the Tibetan family rescues the other family, all of the signs are in Traditional Chinese characters. Tibet is part of the PRC, and Mandarin is not a native language in Tibet, so all signs would be written with Simplified Characters.

When Jackson shows his driver's license in Yellowstone Park, his name appears on the card as "Jackson, Curtis." It should be either "Curtis, Jackson" (Last name, First name) or be written without the comma.

Q
How much sex, violence, and profanity are in this movie?

For detailed information about the amounts and types of (a) sex and nudity, (b) violence and gore, (c) profanity, (d) alcohol, drugs, and smoking, and (e) frightening and intense scenes in this movie, consult the IMDb Parents Guide for this movie. The Parents Guide for 2012 can be found here.
Q
If the end of the world takes place on December 21st, 2012, then where's the snow?
A
The scientists in the film state that the end of the world has started earlier than predicted; most likely during the summer period of 2012 and not winter, as newscaster dialog announces that the XXX Olympic Summer Games (to be held in London from the 27th July to the 12th August, 2012) have been suspended in the movie.
Q
Does everyone die in this movie?
A
Since the movie is about the end of the world, the majority of the world's population die, but many of the main characters survive. It has been mentioned that 100, 000 people would be on each ark, plus some 10, 000 Chinese workers. There's three of these ships in total, meaning that around 310,000 people survived.
