9 Apocalypse movies-To watch
The word “apocalypse” literally means “lifting of the veil” or “revelation” and is typically used to describe the end of the world, whether that end is brought about by something spiritual, natural, man-made or a combination of all three.
There are as many theories on how the world will end as there are religions, faiths and philosophies. Thus, Hollywood has lots to choose from when deciding how to show the demise of humanity on the big screen. And the creators of the new Internet television series “2012” have added a new voice to the genre. In “2012”, the Mayan calendar is correct and in December, 2012, aliens destroy most of life on earth. A handful of courageous survivors must overcome the odds as they are guided to safety by the mysterious extrasensory visions of an unknown Mayan god. With resources at a minimum, basic survival is key as they attempt to battle the aliens and evade the rest of the humans who have been infected beyond a cure.
2012: Arrival – Ep.1
Since there won’t be any filmmakers left to document the actual end of life as we know it, below are nine films which, if they didn’t get it exactly right, did a great job depicting The End.
Children of Men
The end of the world comes quietly and sadly in this 2006 Clive Owen-starrer. It is the year 2027 and mankind has lost the ability to reproduce.
Owen plays a man who is a shell of his former self. Once a fiery activist, now he’s just waiting for humanity’s extinction. That changes, however, when his old friend and partner, played by Julianne Moore, introduces him to a pregnant woman. Seeing this miracle ignites Owen’s fire and he risks it all to get her to safety.
Children of Men, based on the book The Children of Men, does a great job at giving audiences an alternative to big, violent, end-times fare. Chronic, species-wide infertility is a great villain and the film captures the sadness and longing that a slow march to extinction would bring.
