Well to start off I've been watching netflix and been trying to find any movie that is post apocalyptic related. I don't know what is about this film sci fi sub genre but alot of these movies svck! So far every post apocalyptic film I've watched were the worse films I've seen in years.

Gangland (no not the T.V. series about gangs)
This by far is the worse movie I've ever seen. The movie starts out with ice cube and coolio, awsome famous rappers this might be good. Coolio and Ice cube are probabbly the only good actors in this film by the way. Coolio and Ice tea are two new york cops patroling post-apocalyptic new york. They find a woman and a man. Ice tea rips the shirt off of the woman and starts feeling up on her [censored] and coolio starts to question his actions. Then he shoots some guy with the plague or radiation poisoning or something then coolio argues some more with ice-t. Then some guy pops out of nowhere rambles on about lucifer and ice-tea shoots the guy. Coolio and ice-t argue some more then ice-t shoots coolio. Then backup comes and more gang members show up and ice-t gets shot in the back then theres a big shootout. For this film being filmed in 2001 the shootout is like b-rated action film from the 50's-80's everybody is missing then out of nowhere a big brawl breaks out with horrible fighting choreography. This has absouletely nothing to do with the plot and the film goes downhill off a cliff then explodes into big explosion of svckness. Then it takes place in georgia with some scientist guy who gets captured by the villan lucifer, lucifer wants the scientist to develope a cure for the plague for himself. Then the movie starts to take place in L.A. and we meet our one of the dimwitted main character hero with his brother and they get into another horrible shoot out fighting scene with gang members the brother dies and our hero gets captured and thrown into a jail ran by gang memembers. Then he meets Jared our other dimwitted horrible actor hero. They figure out way to escape come up with a plot to save the day. Somehow Jared knows the location of everything and knows about the scientist being held. Then they meet some blonde girl who becomes our third hero. These three idiots decide its a good idea to storm the villan's post-apocalyptic headquarters with just 1 clip of ammo and a pistol each when they have a crate filled with weapons and a bomb. Jared gets captured tortured by the bad guy. Lucifer then reveals a secret weapon of a genetic engineered person with the strains of every prize fighters dna and 3 differnt steroids. Our first hero and the blonde girl then decide oh lets go save jared and use real fire power and this time they have map and decide to go around the back this time. They show up at the complex and they attack the front agian, even though the plan was to go around back, this time with automatic weapons. Jared gets saved by some forign blonde lady he saved escapint from jail. They blow up the place rescue the scientist and its time to go pheonix. The scientist is never seen agian for the rest of the film but they have the cure. Then one of the hero gets shot by lucifers 2nd in charge then theres some chasing and fighting and they get ambushed by ganglanders. Oh then 2nd in command bad guy drives a car into a trailer home and it blows up and gasline gets spilled, Jared tosses a cigarette into the gasloine lights badguy on fire then they back to some abanded bar and lucifer shows up with a big ass revolver he offers to let them go free if they hand over the cure. Jared pushes the blonde ladie out of the way. Blondie lady has a strain of the plague and stabs lucifer in the neck with it and he pukes all over the place and melts on the ground. Jared and blonde lady kiss and head to pheonix. How typical of a [censored] post apoplytic film the guy and girl hero always end up in love and kiss and ride off into the sunset. And that raps up this movie, believe me this movie sounds better describing it than watching it. This movie has the [censored]tiest actors i've ever seen, the worse music and all the fighting scenes are really lame and stupid. I really don't recomend seeing this movie it really svcks. Also none of the scenery looks post-apocalytic green grass normal houses trees. Heres a few clips just to show how bad this movie is:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJE0hIndq4Y&feature=related (Really bad fight scene)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFCIm6ftyO0 (Funny trailer)

I really don't recomend spending a dime renting this movie if you really want to watch it I warn you its the worse movie of all time. I'd just watch it on youtube if you decide to see for yourself. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY NOT EVEN WORTH RENTING FOR A PENNY OR EVEN BARROWING IT FROM YOUR FRIEND!

To continue my list of horrible post-apocalyptic films, I now want to share the agony of watching Land of Doom.

Land Of Doom:

This movie starts out with the typical post-apocalyptic intro about a war and how its tough to survive yadda yadda. Then the movie takes place in a village being ransacked by Raiders wearing your typical road warrior bondage leather suites. Theres motorcycles with scrap metal wielded and looks really stupid. And theres buggy with a flame thrower. The raiders are [censored] all the woman in the street and fighting eachtoher over who they get to [censored]. Then we see our hero wearing the worse pair of pants with a triangle on her ass that looks like a thong. She escapes and meets a wounded guy in a cave named Anderson. Anderson is covered in blood shoots a snake and they trust eachtoher barely and they go out into the wastelands. Our female hero doens't like to be touched by men and the such and complains about how every man she meets tries to [censored] her. Then they run into some canibals then the raiders. Then they get caught offguard by a Raider and then manage to escape. Somewhere along the line Anderson reveals he used to be the leader of the raider gained and burned his face or something. Our female hero then complains about being caught up. They travel and run into another village being ransacked by raiders they steal a motorcycle ride off into the waste. Then somewhere along the line they meet some guy with a puppy and bicycle. Our 2 heros end up at the bad guys headquarters captured. Then the man with the puppy falls into a hole. While our villan is discussing how he is going to kill Anderson the man with the puppy shows up with a flame thrower and they managed to get ahold of some weapons then theres some fighting and they escape through some hidden door. Then theres a big explosion. Then they meet up with some Jawas, yes Jawas theres jawas in this movie. They get ahold of a vehicle escape the Jawas push some dirt down a hill or something and they are able to escape. The man with the puppy wants to stay with the Jawas but we see the main villian's hand and the man with the puppy Anderson and the female hero start to run away and the movie ends with somebody saying "oh [censored] not agian!" And here's some clips:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F44TnZ4rakA&feature=player_embedded (our lady hero being sixy fighting a Raider)

Okay this movie isn't as bad as gangland, some fighting scenes better than others. This movie was made in the 80's so that should explain some of the bad choregraphy and special effects so I give it a break. The movie seemed cool in the begining and went downhill from there especially the part with the Jawas. I think the writers were high when they wrote the ending.

At least they admit to being crap..

"Some Loser..., Doofy Guy.., a Random women, and Lucifer in the worst movie of this year!!!" Gotta luv a movie that knows it's limits :goodjob:

Couldn't find it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalyptic_and_post-apocalyptic_fiction though :ermm:

These are some really bad movies and aren't well known I couldn't find it on that list either. I'm not sure if that was a real trailer the film was so low budget it probably didn't have a trailer, I think it made by somebody who didn't make the movie.


Any of you guys got a post apocalypitc film you would like to share or discuss feel free it doesn't have the be the worse!

Deathlands is so bad, I won't even go into any detail other than the wiki page..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deathlands:_Homeward_Bound


..and humbly admitting to watching it :facepalm:

but the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deathlands are pretty good :goodjob:




I also think they could've done ALOT more with Book of Eli.. :shrug:

The first movie that comes to mind is an early 2000s Japanese movie I watched a few years back, called Dragon Head. Don't remember much of it, but the theme is fear, on how people are mad from being afraid of what is happening to them, and also on people numbing themselves to prevent themselves from going mad (but they still did anyway, in a different way). The ending is the protagonist realising that people have to conquer their own fears if there is any chance for the world to recover, and also witnessing the rise of a new volcano.

Another really bad movie, but in one of those really good ways, is Ice Pirates

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Pirates

This is a 90 minutes blast from the eighties past that is shamefully gritty in some places (the sfx, the hair-do's(!!!), and the blatantly ripping off of the 'other' movies from the eighties that we do remember)

Still it's something that had me :rofl: as well, and thus worth it. :tops:

I rather like the move "The Road" though it may be too dark for some people. The Book of Eli was great. My favorite scene is when Eli and the girl stumble upon those two old people... Creepy stuff yet also kinda' funny the way it played out.

The Book of Eli and the Road are really good movies! I'd rate those in the best or better post apocalyptic films. Anybody watch Jerhico not really a film it was a T.V. show? Its a really good series 29 episodes.

Is Jeremiah (TV series) any good? It hasn't aired here ..yet, but I use to own all the comics (which are great graphic novels btw)

I Am Legend
Terminator Salvation
Resident Evil 1, 2, and 3.
Carriers
Book of Eli
The Road
A Boy and His Dog
Mad Max 2
Waterworld
28 Days Later

All of the above are post apocalyptic films, most of which are pretty good.

Book of eli starts ok but get worse for every scene. Also the road was plain boring to watch. :cheat:

Yes! Jericho was so awesome. I'd heard rumors of a "Jericho" movie being made but I'm starting to think they were exactly that: rumors. Another good "Post Apocalyptic-ish" show I'd recommend is "Jeremiah". I'm not sure how long it ran but it was on Showtime so they had a few more liberties then network TV does. Also some of Luke Perry's best work.

Edit: @old andy Jeremiah's been out for years now O.o. Are they rebooting it or something?

I just wanted to share another really bad post-apoclyptic film.

Interzone:
This movie starts out with our hero swan walking into some sort of bar casino place. He's on the stairs and there's this really annoying bouncer wearing daisy duke shorts and won't let him pass. Our hero waves and gets passed the bouncer. Then theres some scene with a gay male dancer dancing to italian music. He then punches some guy and steals a daimond and uses the diamond to buy beer. He then walks into back of the bar and plays a suicde drink game. The contestents put in their wages, a razor blade, a case of cocaine, a toothbrush. Our hero wins of course then the guy who steals the diamond from confronts him and he punches the guy and ducks and the guy punches another guy by accident and then it starts a huge bar brawl. Then comes a scene with some physic monks who have the ability to create a force shield. The baddies want to steal the treasure from the monks so they start unloading their guns at the monks but the monks create force field and none of them die and the baddies give up. Then the head monk is about die and gives a quest to a chinese monk named panasonic to find swan and a blonde girl with blue eyes to save the treasure. Panasonic gets bit by a snake and gets picked up Swan. After panaonic recovers they go to a village find the blonde lady with blue eyes and save her from salvery. Then a really horrible chase scene comes up with our hero and some fat guy with a whip. Swan has a big machine gun mounted on his vehicle and fires a bunch of rounds and throws grenades and can't seem to kill anybody. Then he jumps onto the fat guys vehicle punches the driver in the face and the fat guy goes flying off a cliff and lands in water. He starts swearing that he is going to kill Swan. Somewhere along the line the fat guy finds swan sleeping and puts a gun to his face but the chinese monk uses his powers to save swan. Swan now has the gun pointed at the fat guy and makes him take off his clothes except his boxers. Then they infliltrate the bad guys whos leader is a buff lady who looks like aunty from thunderdoom. She offers not to kill them if the hero sleeps with her, then theres a really wierd schene with her naked behind some sheets flexing her muscles and she feeds him cherries and an egg. He manages to satisfy her sixually but he has 1 more test to kill some man eating mutant. They push him down a whole he finds a shotgun kills the mutant with 1 shot then climbs back up. He manages to have the baddies turn on eachter they escape come back get captured blonde girl gets thrown in a cage and our hero is hanging. They whip the hero he falls on some sort of electrical thingy and it elecrocutes the blonde girl. Swawn is about to die from all the torture and panasonic comes back uses his poowers to save him but panasonic dies. He then goes after the baddies. The baddies are back harassing the monks but this time have a flame thrower and find a way to get passed the force field and monks flee behind a metal door. The baddies try to open the metal door then the hero shows up all bad ass scares them off with smoke grenades. He then gets into a hand to hand fight with the villan with a mustche kicks his ass and says a really funny line "I'm going to punch you so hard its going to kill your dog" He defeats the guy with the mustache. Then he confronts the buff aunty from thuderdome lady they get into a brawl he can't defeat her. She grabs a machine gun but swan grabs a bazooka and blows her him. The explosion opens the door he finds the monks and the treasure. THe treasure is a T.V. with a video about the nuclear war that happend and theres books statues and the such. The monks offer him some of the treasure but he's upset he lost the girl loves (blonde lady who dies) and a loyal best friend. Then for no reason the blonde girl is back alive assuming the monks broughter her back to live they kiss then ride off into the sunset. Finding anything about this movie is hard to find on the internet but I managed to find a couple of clips:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbK7vAFGqjw (here's a clip about the monks and our hero panasonic off to complete his quest)

Good luck trying to find a wiki article about this movie I think this movie is that bad and unpopular that thers no wiki. This movie was really bad, made in the 80's really bad fighting choregraphy and the shoot outs are horrible. I have to admit though this movie grew on me and I liked the plot and it was kind of epic. I'd recomend watching it if you want a good laugh, its on netflix if you have it.

One movie I suppose I'll recommend is "Doomsday". It's a decent enough movie with some good fight scenes Apparently the UK was hit hard by some sort of crazy zombie virus Somehwere along the line they reasoned to block of Scotland completely by pushing all the infected up there and building a huge wall. Gotta say there are some...genuinely disturbing depictions of cannibalism. But hey, it has Malcom Mcdowell so I'd call it a trade off.

I hope they make a Jericho movie that show was awsome I watched all 29 episodes on netflix! They have comics books that continues on the story after they canceled season 2, I'd rather see a movie though than the comic books they're kind of expensive.



One movie I reconmend is the 1982 movie She. A post apoclyptic film that was epic and filled with alot of dark humor! Here's a couple of clips of she, has anybody seen this? I thought it was a good 80's film!

The road
all my favorites

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099740/

Hardware. Killer robot, weird fat perv who dies gruesomely, and Lemmy's in it!

ohhh! A thread about bad post-apocalyptic movies.

It can't get much worse than this made for SyFy movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0312603/

My favorite so far would have to be The Road for its realism and story.

My biggest let down recently would have to be Resident Evil afterlife.

Book of Eli looked promising but some how just failed to capture me.

Zombieland was suprisingly funny and very much enjoyed it.

The Crazies, not exactly post apocalyptic, but headed there? great flick imo.



This is just some movies I've seen with in the last year or so, not an all time list.

I've only seen these of the ones you mentioned (though I know some of the others like Mad Max) and they're pretty good.

Does 28DL count as post-apocalyptic?

Well, I don't think it's 100% post-apocalyptic, but it runs in the same vein, so close enough.

It's watchable. I think "good" is stretching it, but "not bad enough to switch it off" is probably nearer the mark.


Yeah, it's one of my favourite cheesy movies. It's a deliberate rip-off of Escape from New York (right down to the lead character's eye patch) and Mad Max 2, and if you just take it on its own terms as a bit of light fluff, you'll really enjoy it. Yeah, I did find one or two of the scenes pretty gruesome, though.


I love Hardware. It's also known as Mark-13, if you're having trouble finding it. The soundtrack is brilliant - well, if you were a fan of industrial music in the late 80s, you'll love it, at any rate. It's got Carl McCoy in it (Fields of the Nephilim), too. Although the setting is post-apocalyptic, the main focus is on the robot, so I guess it's more Terminator-ish that way.

I'd also second the recommendation for A Boy And His Dog. I was thinking "uh oh, I'm not sure if I like this" for the first half of it, but the ending ... let's just say it makes the film.

If you want more grounded, realistic stuff try Threads or Testament.
