Surviving the end of the world

The movie 2012 is opening Friday. According to the film's website, it's "an epic adventure about a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivors."

Am I the only one who sees a glaring problem with that sentence?

I mean, if there are survivors, it's not exactly the end of the world, is it?

I love a good post-apocalyptic story. I even enjoyed The Postman, although the book was better than the movie. (I mean, Tom Petty as the mayor of the city in the treetops? What were they thinking?) But I think I'll skip this one. If the promo materials are that bad, how good can the movie be? And that goes double for any movie with Woody Harrelson in it.
