Hollywood Movies: 7 Awesome End of the World Movies

Hollywood comes up with some really outlandish ideas. Some are truly outlandish (The Blob), some are just plain creepy (Night of the Living Dead) and some are just plain stupid (2012).

1) Terminator


James Cameron wrote and directed this science fiction classic, Terminator. For those who don’t know the story, a cyborg (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is sent from the future on a deadly mission. He has to kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), a young woman whose life will have a great significance in years to come. Sarah has only one protector – Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) - also sent from the future. The future of the human race depends on which one finds her first.

2) The Stand


The Stand has to be included simply because it is truly one of the best end of the world movies ever! (And also because it was written by one of the best horror writers ever, Stephen King). The premise?: after a virus escapes from a government research facility, most of mankind is wiped out. Those who are immune from the virus subsequently form into two camps. The first is lead by Mother Abigail and the second by Randall Flagg. Within a few months, it becomes apparent that those who support good will need to confront evil if they are to survive.

3) Wall-E


Humans decide to fly off into space and leave a set of robots to do the cleaning up. Wall-E however, has grown a personality during his time on earth and when he’s not compacting trash into skyscrapers he’s busy trying to figure out what all this junk was used for. With its beautiful imagery, lovely songs and Wall-E’s soulful eyes.

4) Independence Day


The ultimate encounter when mysterious and powerful aliens launch an all out invasion against the human race. The spectacle begins when massive spaceships appear in Earth’s skies. But wonder turns to terror as the ships blast destructive beams of fire down on cities all over the planet. Now the world’s only hope lies with a determined band of survivors, uniting for one last strike against the invaders – before it’s the end of mankind.

5) Planet of the Apes


Thinking they are alone, the surprise comes when life forms appear, not just as mute humans but as apes. Walking, talking apes. The apes see themselves as the original beings on the planet and do anything to keep all humans locked up. Like most good science fiction, Planet of the Apes combines action, adventure, futuristic settings, and allegory into an entertaining whole.

6) 28 Days Later


The plot depicts the breakdown of society following the accidental release of a highly contagious “rage” virus and focuses upon the struggle of four survivors to cope with the end of the life they once knew. Cillian Murphy is awesome as the confused Jim, who wakes from a coma to find everyone (or almost everyone) gone or dead.

7) Children of Men

Humankind is facing the likelihood of its own extinction due to an infertility defect in the population. Enter Theo Faron (Clive Owen) who attempts to protect the last pregnant woman on Earth and helps to restore faith and a future for mankind. All I have to say is that if I was the last pregnant woman on Earth.
