Post-Apocalyptic movies
 

a new wave of Post-Apocalyptic movies is set to come in near future.
giant movies like Mad Max and The Terminator will both get a fourth sequal.
rumoured that they probaly will be start the filming in 2006.

dont think Arnold or Mel is going to come back as t-800 or Max.
Heath Ledger was in 2003 linked to be playing Max.

both Claire Danes and Nick Stahl does not come back in the fourth film.
now its the final war against the machines, so whoever going to play as John connor must be older.

i love the 80s Post-Apocalyptic movies, and for a while in the 90s it seemed to come back with Kevin Costners The Postman and Waterworld.

and Tim Burtons remake of Planet of the apes. but the last years it has stood still.

Dawn Of The Dead is one (both remake and original) and there is a rumor about Dawn Of The Dead 2 :o

i love dawn of the dead. both the orginal and remake, hopefully the sequal comes next year.

Postman is a really bad movie. The idea is maybe kinda cool, but the rest ist -especially to the end- just trashy and uninspired. I don't like the most post-apocalyptic movies I've seen yet. They are all so ..hollywood and that's sad. I'd like to see a movie with a setting like fallout has.

Postman is a crime against man. I mean "We are all so hopeless, but some letters will give us hope to achieve total liberty in this wasteland"? Come on, the Simpsons were right when they let Kevin Costner say "I'm really, really sorry." on the exclusive Movie-commentary. I want those two hours of my life back.

Anyways, postapocalypse... There's a couple of good movies out there, if not to say the best. The two "Escape"-movies have a sort of apocalypse before they take place (gas in NY and an earthquake in LA). Then, Blade Runner (despite never having seen that movie) takes place after World War Terminus which covered the entire planet in radioactive smog.

This is so not going to work. I mean, some dumbass writer will probably get the idea to make a prequel to MMI, screwing around with the whole origin and making Max a sociopath way before his wife and kid get killed. And, I know one thing for sure, the "last of the V8" will be back.

Anyways, talking about the apocalypse - random joke: What is the postnuclear preapocalypse?


The moment between the bomb's explosion and you getting blown away. Sort of a sick joke, I know...

I'd say that Blade Runner is more cyberpunkt than post-apocalyptic. Post-apocalyptic settings imply a destroyed world, where technology is mostly forgotten and stuff. The earth in Blade Runner is highly technologized, they even travel outer space.

Blade Runner has both elements in there. I realize that there's some changes made in th emovie adaptation, but if they keep the basics, then there's both, the wasteland (most part of the US) and the high-tech-society, which is only available for an elite of people (retarded people must stay on earth and die there because of the fog) and only that elite is allowed to emigrate to Mars and have Replicants as their slaves. Even the suburbs have a certain wasteland-ish touch.

Ok, I watched Blade Runner quite a while ago and never read the book, so I don't remind that. So according to your description it definitely is post-apocalyptic.

Quite an experience..

Oh, this subject brings me to another movie I recently saw. Some of you will remember it from the chat, if you don't, then read on. The movie's called "Habitat!" (the German title is "It lives!").

It's all about this family, mom, dad and a teenage son. The parents are biologists and they're working on a plant or something that is able to withstand immense UV-radiation because the ozone-layer is gone. Well, something goes wrong and dad is transformed into a cloud of golden particles (from now on, I'll call him sneeze-dad). Everybody thinks sneeze-dad's dead, but nobody seems to care. Ol' sneezy has nothing better to do than turning his whole house into some jungle, and again, nobody really cares about that. At some point he reveals himself to his family, mom has sex with sneeze-dad and is, after being shot for no apparent reason, turned into sneeze-mom.

The End.

It's a really funny movie, it would be MST3K-material. I think that, aside from Manos, I never laughed at a "mindboggling" and "creepy" movie that much.

Sounds like a really cheap movie. haha Like Army of Darkness or something.

A 4th Terminator? As if 3 wasn't awful enough. Some movies need to end and stay ENDED!

Terminator 3 wasn't that bad.. It didn't have the same Awesome style that T2 had.

T4 should have a good finish and I hope the humans win this war.

Nah, If T4 ends with the humans winning i would consider that a bad ending.

I mean isn't the whole point that humans will destroy themselves?

when i watched t3 i hoped that it would be the last fight between the machines and the humans. the only reason i go see it was arnold was back.

yes kristinna is the most beautiful cyborg in the three movies, but she doesent have that killer look arnie and robert patrick had.

and nick stahl as john connor? some rumours said that the reason edward furlong didnt be in the third film, was becouse he had some problems with drugs. dont know if this was true.

claire danes as connors wife? i hated the part where danes came in the movie. all she does is scream and be hysterical. i want the old macho linda hamilton back. but no, now shes dead.

i would love to see kyle reese maybe played by michael biehn in the 4th movie.
