Post-Apocalyptic Worlds

When the crap finally hits the fan, we'll be lucky to survive. The apocalypse is going to happen, no matter how we feel about it. Unfortunately, the post-end times are going to be pretty bad. Check these Post-Apocalyptic Worlds.


It's a known fact that we're living in the end times - human civilization doesn't have much time left on this Earth, and our brief candle may be snuffed out sooner than you may think. We've seen more than our share of post-apocalyptic worlds in our lives, and while some of them seem fairly decent, others are just horrendous, unsurvivable hell-worlds. In this feature, we'll share some of the most horrifying Post-Apocalyptic Worlds that movies, TV, comics and games have brought us. Think of it as a cautionary message, saying, "don't go there."

And don't forget to watch a group of New Yorkers attempt to survive the aftermath of a nuclear attack as The Divide hits theaters today!

Terminator

It's only a matter of time before Skynet becomes real. With advances in computing happening at a rate too fast to be observed with the naked eye, a self-aware computer system is an eventuality, not a possibility. If we've learned anything from the Terminator franchise, it's that once the machines wake up, we're all dead. It all starts with a nuclear attack on Russia that sparks global thermonuclear warfare and, after humanity is decimated, Skynet starts building badass robots to hunt the last few survivors down. Then it sends them back into the past to kill even more of us just for giggles. That's a post-apocalyptic world that just won't stay in its box.

12 Monkeys

At least with the other futures on this list, you can walk around. In the utterly dismal world of Terry Gilliam's 12 Monkeys, humanity has been driven underground by a virus so nasty that it'll eat the flesh off of your bones if you even set foot on the surface. When a convicted criminal is chosen for an experimental mission through time to pinpoint the cause of the outbreak, it opens a can of worms that can never be closed again. I like the sun and would enjoy seeing it, even if it's through clouds of radiation. Being buried alive sucks.
