WALL-E is so good that it would always be a part of every Post-Apocalyptic movie list.
I remember watching "Children of Men" for my English class, and all of us being stunned into silence during the car scene. It was masterfully shot in one long take, and makes the viewer feel as though they're a passenger in the vehicle, watching the horrors unfold, but being helpless to do anything about it.
Both the car attack and walking thru the war zone were absolutely shocking. They both looked different than most movie action scenes.
I don’t know what they did but they felt real, like someone happened to have a video recorder during these events not that it was a movie.
Maybe it was because there were almost no cuts?.
Bye ,Bye Virgin Boy hahahahahahahahhahahahaahhahahahhahahahhahahhahahhagahaahahahhahahahahhahahhahahahahhahahahhhahahhahahahhahahahahhahahahhhahahhahahhahhahahahhahahaahahahaha🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅🖕👌
Can't wait for 28 years later.
same!!!
28 series is not post apocalyptic, only post apocalypse UK not world....only after the second movie it spread out
Basically The Last of Us
@@IAmAFamel Last of Us wished it was 28 Days/Years
I've always thought of the creatures in I Am Legend were zombies instead of vampires. I like to c more dragon post-apocalyptic movie like Reign of Fire. Or fully fantasy based like the canclled series of The Shannara Chronicles. We've never had any movies like that before.
The book, I Am Legend, is vampires and well worth a read. The allegory is more about bigotry and self-righteousness. There is less action, but the suspense is there.
The Road’s world is filled with despair to a level the others are not even close. Really good movie
I watched this episode while munching on soylent green , so yummy, hey bill want to join me , bill ?
Just like Attack on Titan 50 years later was ended
🥈
@@BlackHatCinephilespam
I AM LEGEND had more money than THE LAST MAN ON EARTH and THE OMEGA MAN that preceded it - was it necessarily better?
THINGS TO COME; THE TIME MACHINE (1960); THE WAR GAME; TESTAMENT; to some extent ON THE BEACH; THE LAST BATTLE; PANIC IN YEAR ZERO; FIVE
Testament was a great movie. Seeing it as a kid made it feel more real than Day After. Both did startle me as a kid and now 40 years later, makes me a little concerned again.
I like my favorite post-apocalyptic landscape on TV or on Hulu or on the DVDs like
Definitely missed out on vegas from resident evil
Terminator Salvation deserves a mention if you're going to talk about Terminators
Planet terror? Resident evil?
Six-String Samurai
The hunger games and Wall.e are not post apocalyptic films. 😑
A world where Donald Trump exists, now that’s scary and we are already living in it! 😅😊😂😂😂😂😂
Sorry I must use the bathroom 🚻
no one cares
Nobody needs to know if you do. Quit the immature attention seeking comments.
Honestly fr
No one cares about your bathroom needs
@@gaminglime6902 king cinephile is a troll . He attention seeks and spams alot
So happy you included "The Road." Many of these worlds are tough to live in, but that one took despair to a new level.
I weep when I watch that film.
Matrix , The Hunger Games , Mad Max...good list
Elysium - of all the Post Apocalypse movie worlds this was the closet to life right now.
I disagree. Idiocrocy is it.
@@loboblanco4426 I think our future is an unholy cocktail of Idiocracy, Demolition Man, and Wall-E.
@@loboblanco4426I meant more for the massive income inequality but I get what you're saying.

Batman: “I fought Dragons.”
Escape From New York should have made the list
Loved that movie, and the sequel wasn't bad, although not as good as the first one,. In fact I wrote a 300 page fanfic novel of what happened to Snake after the end of _Escape From LA _ It involved Snake and my fanfic protagonist traveling to an Indian reservation.
Logan's Run was and still is, amazing.
I think that The Day of the Triffids deserves a huge amount of credit. It provides the template for so many post-apocalypse movies and especially the series The Walking Dead. The protagonist meets many different groups dealing with the apocalypse in different ways.
The Postman is actually very good.. sad that it didn't do well.
The book is amazing!!!!!
Also worth mentioning:
Cyborg,
Nemesis,
Radioactive Dream (Albert Pyun did a great job on post apocalyptic flicks with low budget),
Doomsday,
Love And Monsters,
Escape From New York,
Tank Girl,
Barbwire,
Mortal Engine,
The Wandering Earth
The Domestics
10 Cloverfield Lane
Hidden
The Silence
No "On the beach"?
You guys need serious cinema education.
My grade school had the book as an elective read for 7th and 8th graders. Since I like apocalyptic/sci-fi books, the librarian suggested it. We also had to make a full size movie poster of our elective book (I didn't know there was a movie at the time). I drew and painted the submarine departing into a hazy red-orange sea and sky, with Moira watching from an elevated coastline. Unlike my classmates I never got my poster back after it was displayed. I'm not sure what happened to it.
A Quiet Place is such an awesome thriller. I never complained about the lack of information of where the creatures came from, and I think it’s better that way. Those things are so dangerous, yet, so mysterious, felt like wanting to know them, but at the same time, don’t need to. A Quiet Place creatures are one of the most dangerous Movie monsters I’ve ever seen.
I love that the story is being told backwards. New one looks so good!
Yea but when they do that reverb thing with the hearing aids to stun them, and they scream bloody murder....... Wouldn't that attract every alien within a 5 mile radius right on their ass? Kinda killed the whole thing for me. The whole movie they can't make a peep, so as not to attract any aliens, then in the end they start making a ton of noise to kill them? Come on.
Yeah, that's how i always felt about the film!
But somehow the third movie is a bit boring.
Was really hoping to see"V: for Vendetta" on this list
Threads (1984): This follows a family's attempt at survival in post-nuclear war England.
The film is available on RUclips and most of the time it is free.
I think this movie plot is loosely similar to the 1983 movie The Day After. There was a nuclear war between the Soviet Union and United States of America that destroyed much of the United States.
I've never watched the entire thing, but from what few pieces I've seen it's the sort of movie that will have you watching cute kitten videos for hours afterwards and gulping down happy pills to recover.
@@freyathewanderer6359 Same. Btw, did you ever watch the nuclear bomb scenes in the movie? WatchMojo had just uploaded a separate video regarding this matter.
The Maze Runner - Fighting to survive The Flare Virus in a ruined Earth while trying to destroy The Evil Corporation WCKD.
@@user-em6ie2be7x If you don't know, this movie series is based on the novels and there's a different outcome where the Flare Virus was eliminated by the cure in the movie.
28 Days Laters was the very post apocalyptic movie I ever watched, which makes it my all time favorite.
Saaame! 💯
They didn't even who was the star of A Boy and His Dog? Don Johnson went on to be a huge star in the '80s with Miami Vice. Even if you don't know him, you've probably heard of his daughter, Dakota Johnson.
Sign me up to go to the Matrix world!
Same . I have all of them and it's pretty good series. Just the first 3fyi .
2 men of culture i see
I LOVE the first 3 Matrix movies
Fun fact: you don't have to be in the matrix to do bullet-time.
Take the red pill neo
Threads (1984), enough said
Yes. I was looking for someone to suggest that.
That one should be labeled as horror movie ...
@@ApocGuy Threads, the scariest movie ever
5 years away from Judgement day in T1 and T2.....yikes 😮
If there ever was a zombie apocalypse, I’d definitely not want to be in a 28 Days Later zombie apocalypse
I'd go to the Resident Evil Universe if I want to deal with zombies
@@CandiceVidito I’d rather deal with RE zombies than Rage infected ones
The best Zombie apocalypse would be in Walking Dead Universe
2 movies i know of, that were made in New Zealand, "The Quiet Earth" & "Battletruck". I think Battletruck in america was called "Warlords of the 21st Century".
1962s *"Day Of The Triffids"*
It inspired the aesthetic of many movies that followed.
(Including 2002s *"28 Days Later".* )
*"Firefly/Serenity"* (great concept)
*"Fido"* (highly underrated)
*"Aeon Flux"*
*"Escape From New York"*
I'd even add *"The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy."*
Other television shows/miniseries;
*"The Stand"*
*"ZOO"*
*"War Of The Worlds"* (specifically, the 1988 version)
I know it's a TV show...but...Jericho.
I don't consider Terminator to be post apocalyptic.
Terminator has a plot twists regarding the Judgment Day, which was altered multiple times, from the original plot . Except the first 2 movies, the rest of the Terminator movies are trash.
My very favorites would be:
These Final Hours (2013) (this would actually be a pre-apocalyptic setting I guess, but it's the same vibe lol 😉
The Rover (2014)
Both brilliant and powerful films! Highly recommended for any who haven't checked them out! Or for a re-watch, they're that good with the storytelling, script and character building. Just bloody brilliant and moving! imo
And the Mad Max Trilogy. And an honorable mention "A Boy and His Dog" was quite a trip! AND was set in 2024! 😎👍
0/10 No Threads or The Day After.
No,
Night of the Comet ?
Well, I gues the lower budget ones usually try to avoid showing too much.
I absolutly LOVE 9 and when i first saw it as a kid it SCARED the SHIT outta me.
Also anyone else hyped for Quite Place Day One?
Nice list, awful soundtrack, and meh narration.
I would love to live in the Hunger Games world
I would, too, but only as a game maker, a person who helps design each year’s arena.
WALL-E is probably the scariest future especially if you live here in the USA.
i searched for this video to discover new post apocalyptic movies, only to find out i watched 20/20.
Me too. Oh, well. I am enjoying the Walking Dead universe.
Of all the worlds on this list, The Matrix and Mad Max would be perfect. 🎉
I like my favorite post-apocalyptic landscape on TV or on Hulu or on the DVDs or on Disney Plus like Authoritarian Panem The Hunger Games and Hostile Oregon The Postman and Blazing England Reign of Fire and Irradiated Earth A Boy and his Dog and Silent America A Quiet Place Franchise and Post-Nuclear USA The Book of Eli and Earth Of 2077 Oblivion and New York Post-Outbreak I Am Legend and Human-Less Earth 9 and Flooded Earth Waterworld and Infected Philadelphia Of 2035 12 Monkeys and Real World Earth The Matrix Franchise and Infected London 28 Days Later and Sterile Earth Of 2027 Children of Men and American Wasteland The Road and Future Australia Mad Max Franchise and Junkyard Earth Wall-E and Ape-run Earth Planet of The Apes Franchise and Post-Nuclear Holocaust 2029 The Terminator Franchise
No, 'Biff Wins'
'Hell valley' ???
There are some nice matte paintings and the overall feeling is top notch. You guys are acting like a couple of buttheads, by leaving that out.
May none of these possible futures ever come to pass.
Ya know what would be the best Post Apocalypse to live in
*"Mortal Engines"* that should have more time in the spotlight. Screw whatever silly issues trolls have with it
Absolutely! Mortal engines world is by a landslide more original and spectacular than any of these, these are all variations of zombie/nuclear/pandemia/ecological apocalypse with exception of dragons.. Mortal engines is in league of its own!!
@@highlandertokio82 I know right?
Based on a book series 📚📖
And that apocalyptic world isn't perfect with thugs, auction sales, and corrupt leaders, but I'd rather live on a huge moving city where most civilian coming back from the 🪨 age
@@Lover-of-Creative-Priorities Yes! There is much more than just movie, four book plus prequel series, a vivid spectacular diesel/steam punk setting with cities on skies, on oceans, underwater, land.. humans are not handfull of rats hiding from robots or gangs and radiations, there is politics, economy, exploration, culture, science.. grand scheme of things, events, agendas, interests..
@@highlandertokio82 yeah there my hopes for a post apocalypse world. Infact the way those transports are designed it reminds me of an Anime I used to love watch called *"Zoids"*
@@Lover-of-Creative-Priorities its a mix of victorian era style and dieselpunk mid wars era, in books for example there is no jet engines on flying ships, everything is prop based or lighter than air gases technology..
I hold to the belief that Mad Max and Tank Girl are part of the same universe and I am still waiting for Max to meet some mutant kangaroo men (played by hip hop stars, of course).
Love tank girl!
These are all good examples of cinematic post-apocalypse.
I'm an Oregonian, and I didn't realize The Postman takes place in Oregon. I suppose it may have been mentioned, but I missed it.
Book of Eli is definitely one of the best post-Apocalypse movies. The twist is legendary.
I Am Legend is a great story, and the movie was true to the novel up until the last 15 minutes. They really should have kept the original ending.
I saw Waterworld on a date. My girlfriend fell asleep. The "science" of it very questionable. When the icecaps melt, current coastlines will be lost, but there will still be plenty of dry land.
The Matrix was incredibly good, but with one major flaw. The idea of using humans as "coppertops" is ridiculous due to laws of energy/matter conservation. An early version had the humans' brains being used as a living computer cluster. They should have stuck with that.
There’s a book about what would happen to the world if humanity suddenly ceased to exist (I forget its name…but let’s just call it After Earth..). Basically it would be a lot like in I am Legend (minus the vampire zombie folk). We’d be forgotten, plants would take over, life would go on (without us) and over a relatively short amount of geological time we’d be a footnote. There are historical societies this has happened to like at Macchu Piccu and the only relatively recently discovered (by the west) Angkor Wat. It happens.
So this has to come out after I dreamt the sun got snatched out the sky and the moon blew away.
As previously mentioned, John Wyndham's "Day of the Triffids" predated these (and likely inspired "28 Days Later"). And is anyone else intensely irritated by the background music overlay to this WatchMojo?
Glad terminator was #1 , good pick
Allow me to ad that Terminators are ANDROIDS, not cyborgs! I have had to explain that time and time again. A true cyborg starts out 100% biological and has some high-tech "optional extras" added.
The story and the world of Hunger Games resonate with audiences because of real world issues? Okay then?
Best Watch MOJO list ever❤one including 60s and 70s top Sci fi movies is definitely needed please

STAKELAND
I AM LEGEND......what a crock of bs....it was a cheap spin off of the OMEGA MAN with charlton helston and all the remake did was destroy and make the will smith as a hero....i often wonder if his wife will do the remake of GI Jane in 2025 and Chris Rock as the master chief....
i always thought in the 28 franchise that they were called infected not zombies that's what i thought to believe
In fictional novels theres a genere called the system apoclypse. It has many different flavors. A system might take over our universe and "intigrate" it with a mulitverse under it's control. People might get powers. It could eliminate billions of humans because being empowered could be so tramatic that only a fraction of humans could survive it. It could make the earth a free for all slaughthouse because its a only the strongest can survive system etc. Theres alot of end of the world ways it can be written. Theres a novel called "They Called Me Mad" Where an ailen race invaded our world with monsters and we gained powers to fight off the monsters and we would get the exp to level like it was an rpg. But the aliens who did that were a galctic corperation who broadcast it as a game show. Our hero figured it out and fought against them. He was considered crazy because he was one of the few who knew the truth.
Does Avengers: Endgame count for the first half of the movie, when half the population is gone?
I am legend book is way better
Jakarta, the capital of our country, Indonesia, is mentioned in the Children of Men movie!
Cyborg
Snowpiercer is Good and one of my favorite movies
The train is run by nuclear power, If I remember correctly;y.
Same, it is one of my all time favorites
A Quiet Place's world is one of my favorites because of how damn unique it is
The fact that you have to stay silent at all times, no matter, what is terrifying
I do love me some Waterworld.
Oh dude, 28 Days Later is 💰!
More of you the apocalypse

@@BlackHatCinephile ok
I love “9.” It’s such an underrated jem that I wish was more well known
So you gonna just ignore Night, Dawn, Day and land of the dead????? Trash
is it just me or is the random background music just irritating instead of helping the video?
Tank Girl, and Solar Babies should have been mentioned as well.
Should've made 9 (2009), "Number 9".
City of Ember was good. Also The Colony.
Honestly, I was expecting the wasteland in Mad Max to be #1.
That and Terminator would make a shared no 1.
@@Viglin123 Yes.
Book o Eli and Hunger Games were dumb.
Not great movies but the last few Resident Evil flicks. Oh, and Zombieland, for a few chuckles.
Got bell riots later this year and then ww3 in 2026
George Miller is the best at making this genre of movie.
"Things to Come" should have been on the list.

The hunger games should have been in the top 10 not number 20
The Postman WASN'T a flop it was a GREAT movie, I love waterworld it's an awesome movie
The most authentic post-apoc was in Stalker by Tarkovsky. The most depressing - in On the Beach (1959). Also, several post-apoc anime were good in their own way. Most modern movies including some from this list where a bunch of healthy looking teens resolve every problem look fake.
Great list, although I'd argue that Children of Mena and Hunger Games is more dystopian than they are post-apocalyptic.
It's not just Australia in the Mad Max franchise
It's pretty much the WHOLE world especially America since it was the Oppenheimer 💥
Walle is love.
Well since I am a big fan the "Mad Max"movies ,I think the world of "The Road Warrior " has always been cool and harsh at the same time ,and like "The Road Warrior " was one of the first Post-Apocalyptic worlds as movie ,when I was kid in the eighties .There is also the original "Planet of the Apes " movie .And few other of the time ,which are most likely not this list ,but they should be .
