So my computer has been broken for a while now and my spare computer can't handle the new games and i've played fallout 2 a lot ever sense my computer died. So im thinking that watching movies with that wasteland feel might help but I can't think of that many. I have already watched mad max 2 and 3 and terminator salvation ( :cryvaultboy: ). Anybody got a suggestion? :sadvaultboy:

Not the Book of Eli, I am Legend?

Well, I'm suggesting you don't see Book Of Eli since it's just a bunch of _________ ________.
Buuuuut I'd suggest you go buy the Wasteland comic book series by Anthony Johnston.
Or that you watch Jericho or some other post apoc tv series.

I thought the Book of Eli was pretty awesome >.>

What's this wasteland comic?

Just felt schizophrenic to me.
Felt like it wanted to go for the action crowd while still going with the "at a steady pace" crowd and still have a "deep meaning" put into it.
Just made the plot move forward incredibly weird to me.
Not that I liked the main plot so much either.

Hmm doesn't seem to be for me :/ but thanks for trying! And I checked out book of Eli it looks quite... Unique so to speak

Don't wanna spoil anything but lets just say that I wasn't very pleased with what the book actually is and what the movie was about.
That made it go from an "okay movie that's watchable" to a ... Well, just see the film and you might see why I hate it.

I'd suggest you watch "The Road". I only watched it myself a few days ago, there isn't much action, but it's a fantastic film none the less. Really captures the desparation of the main chrs.

Never "I am legend" though. Read the book or watch "The Omega Man" it's the same film just better. (Though this is mainly because the Will Smith version was so bad I almost couldn't finish watching it.)

It was passable, but it needed about 30-45 mins of length for the story and characters to really unfold. As it is, it's pretty hollow, imo.

The book of eli (haven't finsished it yet) boils down to the main character walk's some, then fights, then walk's som more then fight a couple of new guys then walk's... Thank you i'll check it out :liplick:

Doesn't that encapsulate the Fallout experience perfectly, though?

Well I didn't see him getting chased away by a pack of giant radscorpions

This.

I am Legend was one bad movie. I mean, it has a nice story and all that, but the movie was just bad. Too much CGI for me aswell. Those "vampires" (more like... fast zombies or something) didn't need to be so badly CGI-"enhanced" as they were, what is wrong with actually putting cool and realistic makeup on the actors?
And the The Road is awesome - trust no one, cannibals everywhere, no food, no clothes, the world is just full of ash, a gun with only two bullets, things that are too good to be true are of course untrue, etc etc. Watch it if you like the be depressed

I'd also have to say A Boy and His Dog. It's pretty nice, funny and weird - a boy looking for a woman to sleep with in a post-apocalyptic environment where women are hard to come by, to his help he has a dog smarter than himself that he can communicate with telepathically, and they have a deal that the dog finds him a woman, and he gives him food, right? Don't remember. It has a nice humor, and when Vic, the boy, gets into that vault or whatever, that's when things get very very weird. I also like the end, although apparently many were against it. I like it because it's kinda taboo. The movie is also considered kinda sixist, both by how Vic is only searching the wasteland for six, and how the movie later ended. Haha!

What more is there... have you seen Doomsday? It's a nice little movie, apparently it's a tribute to a lot of different movies that the director is a fan of, like Mad Max 2, 28 Days Later etc, so therefore you see references of this in the movie. It got nice action and cannibalism.


Then if you are a fan of zombies and such, there's a lot of zombie apocalyptic movies aswell. Movies like Braindead and Return of the Living Dead are favorites, they're really funny. For zombie apocalypse there's also The Walking Dead TV-series (aswell as the comic books, which I really really recommend to anyone. Focused on the survival of the humans, not zombie grinding.) Also, the british short series Dead Set!
This is not really considered zombies, but Slither is a really good apocalyptic movie (although the apocalypse is restricted to a small town) where alien worms turn people into zombies, and I love it, it's a really good comedy.
There's The Crazies, which is a virus that turns people into killers and not zombies, but it's still apocalyptic though restricted to a small town aswell.
And, errrrrr, The Mist... alien apocalypse, kinda. Very focused on how the survivors deal with it and eachother, which I like. I really recommend it, though I hear alot of people hate it for some reason :s

Hm... I guess I like movies with an extreme and sudden chaos, and watch how survivors deal with it. I guess I just like apocalyptic movies, post- and present-.

Wow thank you i'll check out the movies you recommended exept the zombie flicks, already seen those

I like you

<3 :tongue:

I liked them both: Eli and The Road.

Eli is more action based and The Road an indepth "realistic" drama

Omg im watching the road and

Edit: Holy [censored] the road was awesome! Truly awesome. I almost cried when they caught up with the colored gentlemen. :cryvaultboy:
Very touching movie thank you savagebeating and Thekettleison for suggesting it :tops:

I haven't seen too many apoc movies, but I know A boy and His Dog, which was already mentioned. There's Romantically Apocalyptic, a Apocalypse based "Romance" Graphic comic. There's Apocalypse Now but it doesn't really count. That's all I got.

night of the comet is post apocaltptic made in 1980's and damnation alley is pretty good also with jan michael vincent and george peppard.

The ending, most likely. It basically has the story of Half-Life :hehe: Pretty good, and surprisingly true to the original short story. One my favorites of King's work. And speaking of King, The Stand, preferrably the book, the miniseries left a lot details away from the book, as often happens with films based on books. Especially the first part, it starts as pre-apocalypse :hehe: The second part gets a bit too religious for my tastes :shrug: Also his book Cell is pretty nice zombie apocalypse with a twist.

This. If you are looking for books I would recommend all of these. Plus 48 by James Herbert, post ww2, post apocalypse book with the survivors pitted against the slowly dying, infected, neo-nazi blackshirts.

P.s- Glad you enjoyed "The Road". I watched it with a friend and they just didn't get it.

Thanks for all the suggestions really appricated
