Apocalypse MoviesWe've compiled many of our favorite apocalypse movies. With so many to choose from, it's hard to select a favorite, but I do rank at least 3 as my all time favorite end of the world movies. We are not saying the world is coming to an end, but these movies do make for great entertainment and they sure do put some great visualization as to what might happen.
I'm very excited about the new 2012 movie coming out on November 13, 2009. Since watching the trailer back in April 2009, I've been counting the days until its release. I will be one of the first ones in line for a good seat on opening day. You'll hear about it from me on that day after I've watched the movie. I don't know if it will make its way up to one of my favorites, so let's wait and see. Here are my 3 favorites: Armageddon - A giant asteroid again? Makes for a great action flick...don't you think? Independence Day - Hey why not? The world could come to end by ET. ;-) Mad Max - world after dooms day. Much props to Mel Gibson, he was the man back then. I'm sure Curt will chime in and add his three favorites. Cheers!

Well, of course I will "chime in". Now, many people have said that I can be a bit long winded...and I don't argue that much at all...I can talk a lot!!! The truth is I have many favorite apocalypse movies and I could spend weeks talking away about them. From the earth ending events like we see in Armageddon to the natural disasters like we see in Dante's Peak or the aftermath movies like Mad Max, 28 Days Later, or I Am Legend we can see a variety of ideas, thoughts, fears and predictions about how life will come to an end or survive after the great event. Rather than talk and talk I think I would rather list the movies we will be reviewing and I'll clue you in to my favorites in the reviews. (in no particular order...just what comes to mind...this list WILL grow!) Apocalypse movies:
Armageddon
: End of the world event when an asteroid threatens to hit the earth.
Independence Day: Aliens are here to move in...First they have to deal with us. End Of Days : The apocalypse movie where the anti-christ battles Arnold. The Day After Tomorrow : Global warming has triggered a storm that ushers in a new ice age. Mad Max: Post nuclear war classic. Waterworld: Postapocalypse life after global warming has melted the ice caps and submerged all of the land. 28 Days Later: Virus accidentally released spreads rapidly. 28 Weeks Later: Sequel to 28 Days Later, the viruse hase essentially been isolated and stamped out...but it has morphed into a newer and deadlier infection. Resident Evil: Viral outbreak in a research facility turns people into hungry walking dead. Quarantine: Deadly outbreak is confined to an apartment building dooms those not infected to exposure and death. Dante's Peak: Volcano does its thing...paints a vivid picture of how deadly they can be. Twister: Tornadoes are tracked by a team of scientists. The "Finger of God" leaves a trail of destruction and death everywhere it goes. Doomsday: A deadly epidemic outbreak threatens and over runs Scotland. Cabin Fever: Great expression of the fear an outbreak can bring. Outbreak: Officials from the CDC and US Army scramble to quarantine a deadly african virus brought by a monkey to California. Judgment day: Fragments from a deep space meteor collision with an asteroid threaten the Earth. Knowing: Terrifying prophecies have been proven true over the last 50 years. Three predictions remain...the last of which is a world wide catastrophic event. Super Nova: Black hole threatens to bring destruction. The Happening: Without warning or explanation sudden death sweeps across major cities of the nation. There are several more apocalypse movies that I am sure we will be talking about... especially 2012...We can't wait!!!
Be Good! Curt
