It seems that the success of Fallout proves it: post-apocalyptic productions are in fashion. However, there are many classic films that you should watch if you are just getting into this genre.
Generally, it is due to a nuclear catastrophe, but in reality there are different reasons why man can be condemned: pandemics, extraterrestrial invasions, wars…
Almost always, yes, there are common elements like those seen in Fallout, the Amazon Prime Video hit: mutants, devastated worlds, resource limitations and extreme survival, without going any further.
Are the adventures of this fashion style after the success Fallout and the premiere (not so triumphant, it must be said) of Furiosa, the new installment of the Mad Max franchise?
If you look at it with perspective, it is not something new, these types of films have always been made. Here we leave you 5 post-apocalyptic movies that you absolutely have to see if you like the genre.
The Book of Eli (2010)
Many have wanted to compare The Book of Eli with Waterworld and other ambitious films that were made because of the stubbornness of their main star, in this case Denzel Washington. However, the result was not what was desired: the film did not work and critics were very divided at the time of its release.
With everything, The book of Eli It’s a post-apocalyptic movie quite interesting, with a curious plot and an ending that attracts attention. It may be pretentious and its tone may not be quite right, but even so it’s probably worth it.
Snowpiercer (2013)
Without a doubt one of the most original post-apocalyptic films ever made, which leaves behind desert wastelands and ruined cities to be set in a different place: a train destined to travel forever in a world destroyed (by human beings, how No).
Although it is based on a visual novel, the truth is that Snowpiper not only stands out for how refreshing it is, but also for how dramatic and complex its development is, with a deep social criticism that goes beyond conventional science fiction.
I am legend (2007)
One of the last great commercial successes of Will Smith, which was still capable of making a claim at the box office for itself. In this case, reviving a 1971 classic starring Charlton Heston.
Although I’m legend It’s far from being a perfect movie. Its first section, so to speak, is frankly hypnotic, everything in which the main character is presented as the last man alive on the face of the Earth. When his enemies appear, it must be recognized that things become more clichéd and predictable.
A Quiet Place (2018)
A peaceful place It is one of those films that manages to divide the publicbetween those who think that thanks to its staging and sound design it deserves to be considered a modern classic and, on the contrary, those who see in it little less than an empty shell with touches of horror.
In any case, it is difficult not to get caught up in its simple suspense, and if you liked the first one, you will probably also enjoy its continuing sequel released in 2020.
Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)
Thanks to its striking visual style and epic approach, the return of Mad Max lachieved what seemed almost impossible: surpassing Mel Gibson’s classic filmswith its powerful aesthetic and cinematographic influence.
A but for this movie? Perhaps its prequel, Furiosa, has failed to motivate the public and has crashed at the box office. Although that is something that is beginning to be our daily bread, the truth is.
