It's time to destroy the world: What are your favorite "end of the world" movies? [TOP 03]

This month, the theme of the competition is very interesting (more than it usually is) because it is about Cinema and talking about the Seventh Art (in any genre) is always something very pleasurable for me (because I love movies!)... However, making lists is a very complicated task because I always think I'm doing some kind of injustice, haha!

Over the decades, Cinema has used the end of the world as the main plot of its scripts and the threats are as diverse as possible and in my TOP 03 this month, I brought some examples that show this very clearly. Choosing only three was difficult, but I think I did a good job because the movies really put the "destruction of the world" issue at the forefront.

As the first threat, I will highlight this movie that has as its main theme an incurable virus that is transforming the population into totally strange, deformed and dangerous human beings. In the midst of this scenario, a few survivors try to find a way out to survive the other problems that are yet to come (which, by the way, are many and complex).

What I find most interesting in this film is how it uses the virus to enhance the destruction of the world through the extinction of human life. The process of transforming people into monsters is very striking and shows how the world can be destroyed in so many different ways. In addition, it requires a little more attention from the viewer to follow the story.

The planet being invaded by aliens is something that Cinema loves to do (it's almost like a cinematic fetish). This is one of the types of favorite threats that writers love to write and show the world how invasive and dangerous the inhabitants of other planets can be. In this case, it is better to be careful with who comes from outside.

Aliens are a threat that remains imminent, because many people still believe in this possibility and the unfriendly way in which they are shown to human beings is the best part of this movie because they make it clear that everything is a matter of perspective. The destruction of the world, in this case, depends on how the aliens see the inhabitants of the planet Earth.

I want to start by saying that I don't think this movie is good (quite the contrary), but it fits perfectly into the contest's proposal this month because humans are being threatened by a gigantic meteor that is on a collision course with planet Earth. The only hope is a group of professionals who go to space to "fight" this threat and save the planet. So, there's a huge mission ahead.

This is one of the most interesting ways of destruction that Cinema has ever done because it has the power to show how small people are in relation to everything that is out there. The visual side of the film is also great and shows in detail the destructive potential that a meteor can cause (which is quite big and dangerous in so many ways).

So, that's it folks and I hope everyone has a good end to the world, haha! May the best posts win! ;)

See ya!
