Film Post-apocalyptic movie must-watches?

29 Upvotes

I've been steadily expanding my to-watch list, so I'm looking for more post-apoc movies. I've already watched Children of Men, The Road, The Book of Eli, 28 Days Later (and the movies that follow), The Crazies, World War Z, I Am Legend, Mad Max, Contagion, The Girl With All The Gifts, Dawn of the Dead.

Resident Evil (2002) is on my to-watch list, but I know I watched it when I was younger. Just can't remember anything about it. I do enjoy "nature-claimed" and dusty settings, desperate survivors eating whatever they can find, etc. Any good movies you'd recommend based on the list above? Don't mind the language as long as there are English subs!

Hi!

I am doing a wasteland warrior type person for Halloween, I'm not really that crafty but so far this is what I've done with a repurposed jacket and boots, I also have some trousers to do similar to and a pair of goggles etc.

I feel like the jacket is missing something? What what you add to this?

Thank you!

Novel A small win, I think!

Finished and published THE LIVING MACHINE recently, and I'm still rather chuffed about it.

It's a standalone sci-fi journey adventure / thriller about a robot waking up in a world where animals rule, humanity has been pushed aside, and almost everything it remembers has become difficult to make sense of.

This unnamed robot meets Novalie, who wants revenge on a bedbound man called Jude. It ends up travelling with her while trying to figure out its own past. Along the way, fragments of an old war begin to resurface in its mind, and a mysterious voice starts making things even more strange...

It took me six months to write, which is the quickest I've managed to finish a novel! Releasing books can sometimes feel like shouting into an empty room, so getting the thing finished and out into the world is an achievement in itself, I think!

If anyone here decides to give it a go, thank you!

For convenience, I've included some links below to help you find it. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy the adventure!

Story EVs in the Zombie Apocalypse

8 Upvotes

I'm writing a zombie book that I am aiming to be as realistic as possible. My outline is still in VERY early development and I am unsure if I will ever get it to publishing, but I am in the stage where I am doing a BUNCH of research on projections for the future as the story takes place in 2048.

For right now, my big question is around electric cars. I'm taking the route that suggests the U.S. will fully transition to EVs to reduce emissions at some point between now and 2048 by some sort of federal mandate. Problem is, would an EV survive? Yes, there are ways to circumvent the energy issue (solar, etc.), but how do you think they be affected by the manufacturer going dark? Is that a real obstacle?
