What's your best post apocalyptic movie that you have seen so far? I think mine has to be the Book of Eli.
Yeah, that too. I've watched so many damn movies that I can't remember a lot of them when I want to lol.
WALL-E, Evangelion 1.11, The Matrix, Time of the Wolf, Logan's Run, Blade Runner, THX, Fifth Element, Children of Men. Songs from the Second Floor is sort of Apocalyptic. There's more that I'm forgetting. I've grown to HATE Twelve Monkeys because of how many times I've had to watch it in school.
I actually didn't like I Am Legend, too much Tomorrow, When the War Began is fucking amazing, and it's Aussie, too
Here's an outline for a post-apocalyptic movie I read about once. Probably the best PA movie to not exist... yet. January 22, 2027: Dr. Hagiru Sato and his team of scientists from Japan, America, Canada, and Britain begin work on a matter energy transference machine. February 11th 2033: First machine is tested successfully after over a hundred failed tests Controversy over the destructive nature ofthe technology ignites. July 18th, 2033: A catastrophic incident with an energy-matter machine destroys the city of Hiroshima, in devastation not seen since the atomic bombs were dropped nearly 90 years prior. Japanese government officials move to ban work on the technology, though Western powers urge them to allow it, despite the mishap. April 22, 2035: First sighting of infected individuals. Most are animals, some humans are also shown to be susceptible to infection. Most seen around the ruins of Hiroshima, which had not been rebuilt. May 13, 2035: Northern Japan is split off from its Southern half, as a nation-wide quarantine is enacted. Anarchy soon spreads through the infected regions. 15% of humans exposed to the disease are immune, no side effect. 84.9% are affected fatally by the disease, which causes cancerous growths. .1% of those exposed are shown to successfully mutate. The “virus” is found to be a spreadable corruption of genetic material, which causes rapid mutation in infected individuals. All large animal life above ground is soon infected. January 1,2040: 98% of all animals in Japan are wiped out, ecosystems ruled entirely by infected individuals. May 8th, 2048: Japanese Defense Force engages infected individuals to preserve quarantine. Co-ordinated attacks by infected humans and animals are seen. High levels of intelligence confirmed. May 10th: They fail, and the nation ofJapan ceases to exist. October 13: The United States Carrier George W. Bush is attacked and sunk by an unknown force. Later revealed to be a co-ordinated assault by the infected. Use of atomic weapons to destroy all life on Japan considered, but denied. February 12, 2052: Remaining inhabitants ofJapan have appeared, by outward observers, to have began adopting the infected into their religions. Part of this religion is a total-weapons ban, and the banning of violence against infected individuals. This is surprisingly effective at ceasing conflict with infected individuals. April 2, 2055: Infected seen to have spread to North America. Military preparedness results in a far more contained infection. Hundreds ofthousands in the United States, Canada, and Mexico die. March 11 , 2061: The United States Army begins experimenting with the combat prowess of infected animals, who are shown to have a friendly connection to humans who treat them well, much like dogs. Initial tests exceed expectations. Later that same year, China, Russia, Vietnam, and N. Korea react by signing the Kommu Pact, ensuring protection against the now utterly overpowered west. July 2, 2063: The Kommu alliance declares war on the United States. Infected used to great effect. November9, 2068: War end. Communist states dissolved, China and Russia (and all ofAsia) are now under the jurisdiction ofthe NATO. December 25th, 2072: The regions, now divided, that were once Japan begin to open up to the outside world. Mostly through scientific trade-off. February 1,2081: Japanese scientists sneak into heavily infected Brazil. They recover the DNA of one ofthe individuals believed to be one ofthe first infected. Beliefs are that the infected are actually the next phase in evolution, and to find one ofthe originals would better help the understanding. There are many tried and failed cloning attempts, before a final experiment is successful. The result of this experiment, capable of self induced Energy-Matter transference, is responsible forthe deaths of dozens before escaping. May 22, 2081: Ash Ketchum turns 10 years old.
Good thing I googled Ash Ketchum before I started reading, otherwise I would've wasted my time on reading something that seems to be Pokemon related. edit: And btw, one of the best post apocalyptic movies I have seen is Blindness
