Children of Men
The idea that humans can no longer going to be able to have children and people are giving up hope, the population is starting to stave and people are getting desperate, what more could you want from characters who are put in a world like this. We follow the first pregnant woman in 21 odd years needing to become safe to have her child.
Milo – Stuff and That
Akira
It’s just art. The way Katsuhiro Otomo crafted such the amazing Neo-Tokyo, with its sci-fi and high energy, is still being seen in movies today. A true trendsetter for the post-apocalyptic landscape. Shout-out to The Matrix, V For Vendetta and Mad Max: Fury Road!
Dawn of the Dead (1978)
Oh man – this is a favorite genre of mine. I love anything post-apocalyptic! It’s between two for me & they couldn’t be more different: Dawn Of The Dead (1978) & WALL-E. Yep, I’m clearly not right in the head. But these two films are two of my all-time favorites overall, not just within this genre. Can I really pick only one?! Damn. Okay, my choice is…. Dawn Of The Dead (1978)
Rob – Movie Rob
The Matrix
Amazing film that leaves so much to the imagination. The special effects are ground breaking and the idea is mindblowing. Great performances by Reeves, Fishburne and Moss help make this so entertaining to absorb. They should have stopped after making this and not trying to expand the world even more with the two sequels that just don’t work as well.
Rachel – 54 Disney Reviews
Wall-E
My favorite post-apocalypse film is Wall-e. This genre isn’t my favorite because most of the time it is very cynical and depressing. However, with Wall-e we have an optimistic love story. I love Wall-e and Eve and their adorable romance. I love when the captain realizes the full life they could have instead of settling for being entertained. The animation is stunning. The voice work great. Wall-e is simply one of the greats!
John – Johnrieber.com
A very young Don Johnson and his talking dog – yes, talking dog “Blood” – roam the 2024 post-apocalyptic wasteland in search of food and water. It’s based on a novella by iconic science-fi Writer Harlan Ellison, and the film’s tagline is “an ‘r-rated’, rather kinky tale of survival”, so I won’t share more except to say that, as usual, they aren’t alone.
This 1975 film is “R”-rated for a reason, and a terrific cult film that has been released on blu-ray for new fans to discover! Here is a link to my story:
Tom – Plain Simple Tom Reviews
Mad Max 2 Road Warrior
A simple story with a relatively short runtime but it’s an amazing post-apocalyptic film, a massive improvement on the original.
Mel Gibson is perfect as the lone wanderer with a haunted past, always moving on, only looking to take care of his own interests but ultimately helping those who need help.
The villains are memorable, the design is unique and overall, this is an exciting post-apocalyptic film that’s full of terrific set pieces.
