Top 10 Apocalyptic Movies Till 2022

The end of the world as we know it has a very alluring quality for us. You can't deny that having the freedom to do whatever you want would come with being the last person on Earth. But being confined inside your own home is undoubtedly difficult because the outside world is full of strange creatures that prowl around and people who are no longer fully human. So here is the list of top 10 apocalyptic movies till 2022.

1.  Doomsday (2008)

Scotland has experienced its fair share of conflict over the years, from building Hadrian's Wall to inventing the deep-fried Mars bar. Unfortunately, The Reaper Virus, which isolates Scotland entirely from the rest of mainland Britain, makes these incidents seem insignificant in comparison. The government sends an investigation team across the border when the virus returns to England 27 years after the quarantine, and minutes after they arrive, they find themselves confined in a Medieval castle.

2. Into the Forest (2016)

In the near future, Into the Forest follows a family who lives by themselves in a house in the woods. Despite this, they are very dependent on energy and technology for their well-being, way of life, and safety. When a continent-wide power outage lasts for more than a year and forces them to learn to survive on the bare necessities, their problems start. The film Into the Forest serves as another example of how people are no longer a part of the natural world and need its support to survive.

3. 10 Cloverfield Lane (2017)

The only post-apocalyptic movie on our list that makes you question whether it really is a post-apocalyptic movie on first viewing is Dan Trachtenberg's 10 Cloverfield Lane. The way that 10 Cloverfield Lane carefully withholds and then reveals information keeps you guessing until the very end.

4. Waterworld (1995)

The polar ice caps have melted in the distant future. The human society broke down and was later rebuilt as various "factions" that wander the seas in search of survival. In the film Waterworld, Kevin Costner plays a human mariner who recounts his struggle for survival and tenacity. He is entrusted with ensuring the wellbeing of a child, a single mother, and both of their lives while also running for his life.

5. The Girl With All The Gifts (2016)

In the near future depicted in Colm McCarthy's novel The Girl With All the Gifts, the entire human race will be plagued by a parasitic fungus that is spread through bodily fluids. The only survivors are a small percentage of second-generation offspring who consume flesh but retain the ability to reason and think, as opposed to infected people who turn into mindless zombies. The protagonists of The Girl With All the Gifts are a scientist, a teacher, and two soldiers who are fighting for their lives alongside Melanie, a special young girl (Sennia Nanua).

6. The Day

The Day takes place on a planet where mutant cannibals have decimated the human population. In search of refuge, Rick leads a group made up of his school friends Adam and Henson as well as the women Shannon and Mary. Additionally, Rick has seeds. Henson is seriously ill, so they decide to stay at a dilapidated farmhouse for the time being. However, they set off a trap in the basement that has an alarm system, and they quickly come under attack from a horde of mutants. They also discover that Mary is a mutant. She tells the survivors about her past and joins them in their fruitless fight against the monsters, though.

7. Escape from L.A. (1996)

In the 1996 film Escape from L.A., a series of earthquakes cut off Los Angeles from the rest of the country in 2013 and caused it, like its neighbour New York, to transform from a stunning city to a corrupt prison.

The group is then convinced by a massive explosion that Earth has been permanently destroyed.

9. What Happened to Monday (2017)

The 2017 book What Happened to Monday by Tommy Wirkola takes place in 2043, when there is a strict one-child policy and cryosleeping for all children except the firstborn because of overpopulation. Each person is watched over by an electronic wristband to ensure this. After giving birth to seven identical septuplet sisters, a woman passed away during this time. When they were in their grandpa's care, they were carefully trained to act as a single person, and communication was the key to that.
