It's the time of the month again, where we have another interesting topic for us to write about. It's my fourth participation in the monthly contest by 
"End of the World" is something we all ponder upon from time to time. There are lots of possibilities from space rocks, nuclear wars, the spread of deadly viruses, alien invasion, or even brain-eating zombies. Mankind has been making movies based on these possibilities for years. If I were to guess how the world will going to end, I think it will probably be us, humans, to be destroying each other.
Before I get sidetracked any further (ADHD đ), I would like to begin talking about my Top 3 "End of the World" movies.
This movie is not your typical serious apocalyptic movie, rather it is filled with comedy and lots of familiar faces of the Hollywood industry. It all starts with Jay Baruchel arriving at Los Angelos to visit his old friend Seth Rogen. They then go to house parties full of celebrities like James Franco, Michael Cera, Rihana, Emma Watson, Channing Tatum, and many many more.
Jay feels a bit out of place so he goes outside with Seth to buy some cigarettes in a convenience store. This is where the Apocolypse begins as the chaos starts spreading and people getting sucked into the sky with a blue beam of light. Outside the house party, people start panicking as the earthquake starts opening the ground killing a few celebrities including Rihana.
The disaster follows as an alien-looking monster starts attacking and killing everyone. The remaining survivors realize that they need to repent their sins and do a good deed in order to be called into heaven.
It's a fun-filled movie and is definitely recommended.
I first watched this movie when I was in school and rewatched it a few years ago. It's a good movie considering the time it was made. It starts with Jack Hall, climatologies explaining his concerns regarding climate change and global warming that could trigger another ice age in the near future. His concerns are easily tossed aside. Little did he knew that they were already in the middle of a major disaster caused by climate shift.
Lots of places all over the world are hit with big hurricanes, storms, hail storms, tornados, and tsunamis. Earth is about to end in another ice age and people are trying to get to warmer places.
It's a great movie and might be something humanity might face soon. Although the movie gets bits slow towards the end, it still a good movie to be enjoyed.
I knew I had to include this movie as soon as I saw the topic for the month. It closely resembles the situation that we're having in our world i.e. global pandemic. When the movie was released it was widely praised for its realistic portrayal of a global pandemic. In the movie, there is a new virus called MEV-1. It attacks lungs and brains causing headaches and seizures. It is highly fatal and no cure is available yet. Lots of people start succumbing to the virus as WHO desperately starts tracing the virus back to the original carrier.
The movie provided insights on how the virus spreads and how epidemiologists help to try to contain them by contact tracing. The movie has made sure to portray lots of scientific facts and jargon accurately.
Overall it's a great movie that you might want to watch and enjoy due to current circumstances. Although it closely resembles the current real-world pandemic, the death toll and disorder caused by the virus in the movie are much higher than Covid-19.
This is all for this month's nominations. I hope you enjoyed my list. If you would like to join this contest then check the link below. There aren't lots of days remaining so hurry up.
