Iβll admit it, I liked βThe Postmanβ.
I’ve always been a fan of The Postman (Kevin Costner). But I like the book a lot more.
Damnation Alley
ATeam + AirWolf
Rad Scorpions, Rad Roaches, it’s source material for Fallout 3.
28 days later
The road , or threads (technically not fully post apocalyptic )
Both as real as it gets
Not a movie, but the Metalhead episode of Black Mirror. The ending is brutally hopeless.
I’ve always had a soft spot for Mad Max but Fury Road…holy fuck, but that’s a *beautiful* film. Especially the Black & Chrome edit.
Itβs a limited series instead of a movie, but Station Eleven is the best Iβve seen. I like the others listed, but this was the most enjoyable overall viewing experience.
The Road is fine as a movie, but probably my favorite book. If you are willing to read, and you want to watch it, I recommend reading it first. BTW, I heard Station Eleven is also a great read.
The Road Warrior.
Spare world building that’s rich without tons of dialogue or exposition. Memorable characters. Fantastic action with no CGI. Great ending. And it established the post-apoc film esthetic that’s been more or less the standard ever since.
Warm Bodies and I Am Legend
I really like Elysium
I guess “threads” might fall into this category, though it starts with the apocalypse then deals with the aftermath of nuclear war.
Watched it once, and will never watch it again, it’s too realistic.
Depends what you mean by best.
Most realistic? The Road.
The best movie set in a post apocalyptic world? The Matrix or Mad Max Fury Road.
The Road.
Because it’s realistic.
This is the end
For pure entertainment, Mad Max: Fury Road
For pure horror of the reality of the situation: Threads
Im going to offer two.
Mad Max and
Planet of the Apes
Just great movies
Planet of the apes (whole series really). I like the story it tells, about nature vs nurture and it has lots of characters who feel dimensional. PA stories are stories about humanity with many of the trappings of the modern world. POTA tells a story about warlords, Monarchism, hope, and vengeance vs forgiveness.
I think that film series uses the genre the best
Idiocracy
it scares me more every time I watch it.
A boy and his dog, why because Iβm a fallout fan
A Boy and His Dog. Just because, and young Don Johnson.
Two of my favorites are Doomsday and Escape from New York. The Day After is pretty intense as well.
Mad max!! I also played the game and both the game and the movie were suuuuper good
Mad Max. Why? Mel Gibson is insane.
Iβm partial to The Book of Eli
Children of Men. It just too good.
The Rover
The Blood of Heroes
The only way to know its incredibilosity is to view it in all its glory.
JUGGERS!!!!!
Nobody saying ‘Shaun of the Dead’
Mad Max and because it’s the australian wastelands!!!
I really like….
Love and monsters
The postman
Waterworld
Reign of fire
Escape from LA
Waterworld, the Postman and Dances with Wolves
walle
War of the Worlds.
This movie shows you the perspective from a normal person, and the challenges they had to face. The movie is raw and brutally realistic, which makes it feel like youβd hear the plot of a movie in school as a documentary.
Looking for a friend for the end of the world.
[_On The Beach_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On the Beach 1959). Based on the novel by Neville Shute.
This film (and novel) left me with a sense of the absolute desolation that would result from nuclear war. That feeling is still with me, more than sixty years later.
The Road, because it’s dark and depressing and has a little vibe of fallout
Children of Men. Because it just is.
βOn The Beachβ (1959). Very realistic
Day of the Dead
The book of Eli, Snowpiercer, The Road, Mad Max series, Escape from New York.
The day after. It’s more focused on the destruction of the world, and what would happen in the first few minutes, first few hours and the following days afterwards and leaves it open to everyone to think about what would happen in the moths and years afterwards.
It’s a damn scary and eye opening movie from 1983.
I will offer the movie Turbo Kid. Itβs a fun movie and everyone rides around on BMX bikes. I read once that if the apocalypse does happen bikes will likely become the vehicle of choice.
End of August at Hotel Ozone – very realistic and told from the ‘otherside’
Glen and Randa – Also very realistic and you know he is going to get her killed.
