It's a crock, but it will sell a lot of movies. The world is going to hell at a dangerously slow pace; just slow enough that we don't do anything to stop the real threats like over mining or air pollution or global warming that will do us in far faster than any species before us (who live an average of 100 million years).
But enjoy the movie anyway. It's perversely fun to imagine annihilation we can't stop and to watch it as if we were the gods overseeing the chaos.
