Wow, evidently the movie’s fictional but realistic seeming website, Institute For Human Continuity, is freaking some people out.

According to a report on Foxnews.com, Dr. David Morrison, a senior scientist at NASA’s Astrobiology Institute, says he’s “gotten nearly 1,000 e-mails from people who believe something catastrophic is about to befall the planet. He added that some of the letters have been from teenagers who said they would rather commit suicide than watch the world come to an end.”

If this is true, it’s sad, but seriously, these suicidal people have problems already. Personally, I would never commit suicide, I’m to curious to see what will happen next. If the world ends, there is not much I can do about it, but I will survive as long as possible!
