Favourite Post-Apocalyptic film

I like this genre. Can be fun

Oblivion?
Time Machine?
Book of Eli
Any Mad Max films?
I am Legend?
Matrix?
Children of Men?
Waterworld?
12 Monkeys?

I wont include Planet of the apes....since the post apocalyptic nature of the film was a twist at the end.

 

Oblivion. Awesome sci fi mash up.

 

One of my favourite genres.

 

Beneath The Planet Of The Apes was though...and was a pretty good one.

 

Escape from LA.

 

For starters, it's not 'post-Apocalyptic'.
Second, it's a pretty shit sequel.
And thirdly, you haven't seen it.

 

Damnation Alley

 

The Omega Man

 

Fist of the Northstar, the Japanese animated version.

Full movie:

 

Harry and The Hendersons

 

Fist of the North Star was great shit! Good call

 

Oblivion is my personal favourite

 

Snowpiercer is my favorite.

 

28 Days Later

 

Most depressing - The Road

Ugh. Fuck that, its horrific.

 

IDGAF what flack I get from this, but it's the truth...Escape from NY is a shitty movie.

 

No. Thats the one that"s a regarded classic.
You're thinking of the sequel...

 

No... I'm thinking of the one FALSELY regarded as a classic. It's shit.

 

Nope. You're wrong.
Big hit with audiences & critics alike at the time and still is.

Back of the class for you.

 

Pretty stupid movie

I'm with X

 

Mad Max 2 for me. Some other good ones on the list. Do the Terminator films count?

I haven’t watched the last two terminator films but the first 3 were pre-apocalyptic, so they don’t count.

 

Not really - the entire plot of the first two revolves around a robot being sent back from a post-apocolyptic future to kill an important person 'in the past'. I'd count 'em.

Terminator 4 with Christian Bale is post-apocalyptic.

 

I've only seen the first three, so I'll take your word for it.

That is my all time favorite Apes film. I was 11 years old when I watched it at the then best movie theater in the area. It blew my mind. Love it since.


The Sayer of the Law bleeds!!!


General Ursus wants YOU to INVADE!!!

 

Watched it again the other night - it's not bad.
Don't know why it gets so much criticism.

The part where Brent goes into the cave and realizes its the remains of Queensboro Plaza subway station in NYC - good but obviously the 'shock' is now diluted somewhat.

 

Well, it was for the character, but the audience already knew as the film starts with the ending of the first one. So even if someone hadn't seen the first one, that first scene revealed everything. That is one of the best scenes of the film. Amazing set designs, matte paintings, ilumination and sound editing.

 

Christ that girl is gorgeous

 

Linda Harrison was a total babe.
