The End of Time
2012 · 109 MIN · IMDB 6.1 · 428 VOTES · DIR. Peter Mettler
Overview
Working at the limits of what can easily be expressed, filmmaker Peter Mettler takes on the elusive subject of time, and once again turns his camera to filming the unfilmable. From the particle accelerator in Switzerland, where scientists seek to probe regions of time we cannot see, to lava flows in Hawaii which have overwhelmed all but one home on the south side of Big Island; from the disintegration of inner-city Detroit, to a Hindu funeral rite near the place of Buddha's enlightenment, Mettler explores our perception of time. He dares to dream the movie of the future while also immersing us in the wonder of the everyday. THE END OF TIME, at once personal, rigorous and visionary, Peter Mettler has crafted a film as compelling and magnificent as its subject.

01:17:08 and the perception can change only through understanding
01:18:35 so the future is dependent on the present
01:22:44 -It's a little bit scary
01:27:14 for the planets to evolve nicely
01:28:27 -Yeah, it's pretty neat.
01:29:36 -Fourth floor.
01:32:03 and then you start counting in billions of years away
