Top 10 Movie Apocalypses


so this is how Hollywood thinks the
world 1 welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be counting down the top 10
movie apocalypses
number ten
zombie apocalypse various films kicking
off our list is the horrifying movie
nightmare that foresees the dead walking
the earth there are countless variations
on this disaster and none of them is
pretty the worst-case scenario is
probably a combination of the running
rage zombies from 28 days later and the
reanimation of the already buried like
in Return of the Living Dead sadly if
the zombies don’t get you the lack of
resources will
number nine infertility children of men
while this may not be as gruesome at
least we have a chance to escape the
zombies with this type of apocalypse
humanity will no longer be able to
procreate because all dudes will be
shooting blanks
this one sucks because instead of going
out in a blaze of glory like humanity
deserves it’s just a pathetic whisper
number eight viral outbreak 12 monkeys
in this doomsday scenario earth is
contaminated by a pathogen that
instantly kills humans it’s kind of
poetic since animals have reclaimed
everything of course some humans managed
to survive underground and pin their
hopes on time travel but that’s a whole
other story the unsettling thing about
this apocalypse is that we don’t even
get a slow wind down we just disappear
people don’t exhibit not real we can’t
travel back in time
number seven
comet deep impact moving away from
viruses this movie presents the prospect
of a comet that collides with the planet
and makes us go the way of the dinosaurs
with help from a 350 foot tidal wave
okay so humanity doesn’t get completely
wiped out here thanks to a fully funded
NASA but in any case we doubt that the
few lucky survivors would focus their
attention on rebuilding patriotic
symbols in the waves wake
number six wasteland Mad Max – the road
warrior you see this desert and the
nasty folks living in it
you can thank humanity for that since
the theory here is that we’ll finally
burn through most of our non-renewable
energy supply without a back-up plan
sparking a global war for the scraps
this event leads to the total collapse
of civilization seeing as this film was
released over 30 years ago and we still
fill up our cars with Dino juice this
may just actually happen
number five alien invasion war of the
worlds’ while aliens that can level our
cities as seen an independence day are
pretty horrific we’re giving this one to
the extraterrestrials that go the extra
mile yes we’re talking about the ones
that evaporate us or use us as
fertilizer to terraform our planet in
reality we’re pretty sure alien smart
enough to travel through space wouldn’t
be defeated by the flu they were undone
destroyed after all of man’s weapons and
devices had failed by the tiniest
creatures that God and His wisdom put
upon this earth number four going ape
Planet of the Apes according to this
movie our addiction to nuclear weapons
won’t just level our cities but by the
year 39 78 it will also spawn a new
Society of intelligent talking apes
meanwhile the descendants of surviving
humans will have regressed to mute
household pets still it could be worse
people could become cattle for the
slaughter yo
you blow up damn you number three human
batteries the matrix the machines have
taken over and we foolishly try to stop
them by casting earth into eternal
darkness since the machines of solar
powered the results is a future in which
we are plugged in like double a’s from
birth and our minds are manipulated and
controlled in order to change a human
being into this at least we are kept
contained as mindless vegetables and
have been given a video game to pass the
time
number two global warming water world in
this apocalyptic future the polar ice
caps have completely melted causing sea
levels to rise by several hundred feet
submerging all of the planet’s land
masses as if that weren’t bad enough the
smokers yes the same people we currently
shunned from public spaces have taken
their revenge by pillaging any and all
non-smoking survivors seriously though
what possible reason could there be for
this guy loving paper so much I’m save
up for special trade number one the
machines Terminator 2 Judgment Day
taking the top spot on our list is the
inevitable apocalypse where a computer
realizes humans are redundant the moment
it’s handed a nuclear arsenal while
we’ve already explored a similar
scenario this one features skeleton-like
machines whose only purpose is to
exterminate survivors based on extreme
prejudice seems a bit illogical why
don’t they simply poison the remaining
breathable atmosphere anyway
do you agree with our list at the risk
of sounding sadistic what’s your
favorite movie apocalypse for more
