With these worldevents unfolding in real-time, what are your favorite end-of-the-world kinos? I'm marathoning Threads tonight, saw Greenland yesterday (surprisingly good)
nukes don't exist
>>218421482jericho tv show is about a small town coping with the chaos of merica being nuked
>>218421621I remember it being pretty good, but also not. Main lead was good
>>218421482Letters from a Dead Man is top tier Soviet-core depression.
>>218421482>these worldevents unfolding in real-timethey are not
>>218421813This is probably the closest end of the world will feel in big cities.>>218421482And this is for small towns.Their plots are also very similar at least at first. Gen Z has been preparing for this our whole lives. We know that if things ever get decent, it means the nukes will drop tomorrow.
>le nuclear war will end civilization!is only scary for midwits who have no sense of scale and actual danger of nuclear blasts.even a full blown exchange with several thousand warheads dropped wouldnt even come close to killing all humans on earth>inb4 nuclear winterwont happen, those blasts and fires wont put nearly enough soot in the atmosphere. worst case scenario is some weather pattern shifts in the northern hemisphere (where 90% of the nukes will drop).even if a nuclear war kills 99% of all people (which is an absurdly high number) that would still leave 90 million alive, which is more people than the roman empire had at its peak.
>>218421799That's right. Don't panic. Trust that the elites will sort everything out. Maintain order.
>>218421482Children of Men for purely artistic reasons, but it's a tossup between Reign of Fire and Animatrix for being plain cool.
>>218421854just because it’s less than complete extinction doesn’t mean it won’t still be the end of the world. there are very far reaching implications you probably haven’t considered, and there is no way to really predict the various effects of thousands of nuclear bombs being dropped around the world
>>218421915it would definitely change the trajectory of human civilzation forever and would be a huge tragedy in terms of loss of life and wealth, but it would not be the end of the world.civilization would unironically bounce back from this. be it a few decades or a few centuries, people will move on.and some kind of "tech reset" wont happen either, people understand that things are possible, and they will want to have indoor plumbing and electric lights again. knowledge that the natural world can be manipulated to our benefit will never be lost
>>218421482Reign of Fire is my comfort watching postapoc kino. Makes me want a video game in that setting.
>>218421854How do you feed 90 million people when all infrastructure goes to shit?
>>218421854Say bye bye to the economy
>>218422369Eventually you feed 30 million people with 60 million being converted into food>see, Chinese history
>>218422605oh well no need for panic then
>>218421482Leave The World Behind has the best end-of-the-world score.
>>218421845> We know that if things ever get decent, it means the nukes will drop tomorrow.What?
>>218421854nigga they're going to eat you
>>218422693The entire world would end if I got a job and a gf, anon. I just know it.
>>218422369most places on earth won't get hit.How is a nuclear war between the US and China gonna affect the food security of argentina?apart from economic disruptions, life in most places will go on.massive food shortages in areas hitlocal, temporary food shortages in unaffected areas.subsistence farmers in botswana arent gonna care about "le armageddon" - literally nothing will happen to them
>>218422798bait, don't respond to this anon
>>218422830I'm serious. you nuclear war scaremongers are retards.it would be a terrible tragedy yes, but it wouldn't end human civilization or human life on earth or all life on earth. things would recover after some dark decades.people are sturdy and resourceful. the survivors wouldn't just roll over and give up
>>218422895The scariest thing about nuclear warfare is that it will absolutely wipe out urban centers but agrarian shitholes where dalit indians can thrive will be untouched is a nightmare.
>>218422950the silver lining is that once law and order goes away you can just start killing the people that you dont like
>>218423005as long as you're not an asshole about it, then you get got
>>218421482The Day After (1983)
-Greenland-Day After Tomorrow-2012-Deep Impact
>>218422105I thought I was the only person to see that. Came on TV late one night, quite enjoyable. One of those comfy low budget Canadian dramas.
>>218421482Terminator 3's ending elevates it from an unnecessary cash grab sequel to a solidly good movie in its own right
>>218421482This:https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11286314/
>>218421482No Blade of Grass (1970)
>>218422798>literally nothing will happen to themA nuclear war's damage to the ozone layer would suck for everyone, no matter your latitude. Cancers and premature aging which you can't really avoid because you need to work outside to help keep what's left of society running. Or if you no longer live in a society then you need to go outside to scavenge
>>218421621it's kino but really suffers without ad breaks. The action beats are nonstop because they're supposed to be spaced out naturally. It was giga kino on a weekly release schedule with ads, lol
>>218423362a lot of the toronto new wave festival shit aired on like.... starz or something in the middle of the night back in the day
>>218424005Channel 4 here in the UK. Between 11 to like 3am you'd randomly get indie films from Canada and the US.
>>218423851ozone layers recover naturally after 2 decades at most.wear sunscreen and clothing in the meantime while doing field work.it would suck for the generation affected by nuclear war, and reduce their average lifespans, but again, not a civilization ender.
>>218423823That looks fucking bad arse.
>>218424243It's a fun flick with great scenes of mass panic. I highly recommend it.
that obama wasn't that bad, if you can look past the anti white rhetoricalso, was watching deep impact couple days ago, basically everyone in that movie is either played by a jewish actor, or is a jewish character in the movie. not even kidding, was so blatant it became amazing
>>218424299obama moobie*
>>218424299greenland mogs hard
>>218421944I’ve been making this same argument for years and people get so emotionally distraught over it.It’s almost like they think your begging for a nuclear holocaust when your simply acknowledging the reality beyond the worst tragedy imaginable.They sound like hysterical women.
>>218424351Greenland is a more boring version of 2012.
>>218423507The ending is brilliant but it doesn't really excuse the 100 minutes of mediocrity that preceded it.
>>218424299>basically everyone in that movie is either played by a jewish actor, or is a jewish characterThis is really not true. Leelee Sobieski and Jon Favreau are part Jewish, the rest of the main cast is not. Maybe you have some medical condition where you imagine seeing Jews everywhere, and falsely categorize non-Jews as such
>>218424351Much agreed, but it was already named in this thread>>218424395Greenland and 2012 overlap quite a lot, but whereas 2012 has a lot of special effects and constant explosions, Greenland felt a lot more grounded and realistic, making it less boring>>218424452Was not only talking about the main cast you retard. Eldard and Schiff also jewish, of the main cast. Rest of the main cast are playing jews (biederman family, lerner family). Bunch of side characters are jews. Nearly all children in the movie are jews. Director and writers are jews. Nice try tho
>>218422057Fallout with Skyrim mods.
i cried
>>218422057There is a Reign of Fire movie tie-in game for PS2/Xbox/GameCube. It's aged poorly but still has some novelty in how it lets you play as both human military stuff and as the dragons
>>218421482Threads is the darkest and the most realistic, even if you take away the nuclear winter hypothesis, it could be any disaster that overwhelms infrastructure. Meteor, warfare of any kind, supervolcano, plague. After that, it becomes a question of how ended the world is. 28 Days looks worse every year with that native 720p they used, it used to be good. Red Dawn is a generation defining disaster movie for gen X, confirmed kino. Kairo takes a while to get going but I like it a lot. La Jetee is a good post-apocalypse, and Delicatessen while we're in France. The Second Renaissance is a generation-defining flick for millennials, the whole animatrix is a must-see. Spielberg's WOTW is a highly enjoyable apocalypse.
>>218421854But where will all the top minds of 4chan go and what will they do when the internet crashes?
>>218424243I wish they'd bring movie posters like this back.
>>218421482 Thread Threads
>>218424921To your moms house (to have sex with her).
I always mistook that for a scene from that shitty Batman movie
>>218424203it is absolutely a civilization ender what the fuckit would be so bad, even when humanity was consigned the serfdom they didnt have to deal with acid rain, totally fucked weather and a cancer rate nearing 100pcnot to mention the general malaise of being the people who survived the end of the world a lot of people would just give up, and madness and violence would rule the world. ruthless motherfuckers would take what they could.it wouldnt be mad max but it would be very bad. and with most of the easily accessible resources mined, refined and lost, recovery would be slow if it happened at all.
>>218425246>acid rain, totally fucked weather and a cancer rate nearing 100pcreminder that weather patterns dont cross hemispheres because of the coriolis effect.a nuclear war would be mainly fought in the northern hemisphere. which again, leaves countries like botswana, argentina, and likely even australia, largely untouched.ozone layers can and will recover, and necessary outdoors work can be done in shifts. it would suck, people would die, but not nearly everyone.most places in the world wouldnt even feel that 800 million people just got vaporized in nuclear fire.>a lot of people would just give uplmao, you think some mountain tribe in kenya are gonna commit mass suicide because Chicago got nuked? kek>madness and violence would rule the world. ruthless motherfuckers would take what they couldhow is nuclear war gonna shake the political institutions of Namibia or Paraguay?it would have massive economic ramifications, but these countries would be FINE.and even if there was political turmoil, these things can be overcome. even 50 years of authoritarianism won't be the end of human civilization.>easily accessible resources mined, refined and lost, recovery would be slow if it happened at all.halving the world population will do wonders for available resources. even stripmining the ruins of the west after the radiation has died down will fuel the sub saharan economies for a long time.a global nuclear war will change everything, but it wont be the end.
>>218421854So... still the end of the world for you and me?
>>218425324oh good we can rely on the tribes of kenya, botswana and namibia to rebuild civilization.those places are well known for their industry and ability to move past being dirt poor subliterates.they would be building sailing ships if it weren't for modern civilizationget a clue. regressing to tribal standards of living is the end of civilization. that is where civilization BEGINS.
>>218425680I think he named the more tribal places because they would (theoretically) have less of a shakeup in their way of life and are less likely to think of it as the end of the world. At those latitudes you also have places in Argentina, South Africa, Australia etc which are more developed
>>218425324the northern hemisphere is where most of the land is. you are proposing restarting civilization in a place where like 90pc of the globe is unusable ocean.its not accident that europe and the USA are major global breadbaskets. having arable land in a nice contiguous strip is how you grow lots of crops.
End of Evangelion
>>218425797Also, he downplays the ozone damage thing and doesn't account for how the UV would be so bad that it doesn't just hurt people, it makes it much harder for crops to grow. Even a place that has plenty of what was arable land, and does its best to manage it, might end up starving to death.
>>218421813overrated ass
>>218423125this good?
>>218426039The nuclear attack scene is good, but the rest of the movie is kind of sappy melodrama and inferior to Threads
>>218425929>where are all the mutants and muscle cars?
>>218423823>>218424962I totally agree. I love when they hired an artist to take scenes from the film and put it front and center. It told you what it's all about in one glance and got you excited to see more.
>>218426101i can enjoy some sapill give it a watch
>>218421495How the fuck would you know? Bitch.
>>218422895The romans fell apart and 1000 years of religious misery and endless toil followed, and you think we're smarter than those people? Civilization is not as secure as you think it's highly likely that far more advanced civilisations have existed on earth and vanished without trace.
>>218421854nobody cares whether browns survive
>>218421621It was all right for S1 - and it got me to watch The Walking Dead because of the black actor from both shows was pretty good in Jericho.
>>218421813it took a /tv/ thread to get me to watch this - I'm quite glad I did - it's rare to see american movies with downer endings long before the deconstruction post modern bullshit of the last 20 years.
>>218421854is not even about the power of the nukes retard, only 1000 nukes need to hit their targets and the entire society will shit the bed, 9 digits will die in the first few hours, billions will die after a few months duo to wars, famines and plagues, the infrastructure crumble so how do you feed billions? you can't, how do you transport the materials used for farming like fertilizers, pesticides, and animal feed when the Middle East is glass and all the big ports are destroyed? you can't, even if you could, have fun driving a truck on a highway blocked by 100000 cars
>>218426994Just move the cars?
>>218426739no, even a tribal society that had a population like the romans would leave behind an enormous change in the soil layer. there would be enormous quantities of bone and char as well as lithic remains (stone tools).we dont find anything like this anywhere. we do find cities but no evidence of a huge paleolithic society that existed in Edenic abundance. it really was just a constant struggle with small tribes being wiped out and assimilated into big tribes, falling apart from disease and famine, and fragmenting back into small tribes.it wasnt until agriculture that human pop began to reliably increase beyond a couple million people worldwide.
>>2184214829 has the atmosphere
>>218427174>weThat is a heavy """"we"""" you tranny cunt
>>218426739>it's highly likely that far more advanced civilisations have existed on earth and vanished without trace.Please elaborate
>>218428372No
someone recommended this the other day and it was goodsort of like a mix of night of the comet and miracle mile
Virus, 1980 (the japanese one, not the Italian one)
>>218424730Played that on a demo disc back in the day. It wasn't very good.
>>218428450>a mix of night of the comet and miracle mileSounds kino.
>>218428372It's not "highly likely." It's more of a useful thought experiment (the Silurian hypothesis) than something scientists or historians take seriously. There's plenty of reason to think humans are the first technological civilization here.Maybe aliens visited in the past and then left, but that would be different from something which naturally emerged on earth the same way we did
