Do You Know How The World Ends?

The Mayans didn’t clue us in to how the world would end, but these movies had their own ideas.

1. 1. Day the World Ended

   
   1. Aliens
   2. Atomic War
   3. Satan
   4. Earthquake

   Atomic War.

   Another fun side effect of atomic war: mutant monsters.

2. 2. The Seventh Sign

   
   1. The Rapture
   2. Comet
   3. Nuclear War
   4. Vampires

   The Rapture.

   Hopefully you’ve brushed up on your Book of Revelations and/or bad Demi Moore movies.

3. 3. The Last Man on Earth

   
   1. Zombies
   2. Famine
   3. Vampires
   4. Global Warming

   Vampires.

   The novel this was based on was adapted into another movie on this list. Different apocalypse, though.

4. 4. 12 Monkeys

   
   1. Nuclear War
   2. The Rapture
   3. Virus
   4. Robots

   Virus.

   Not to be confused with the virus carried by that Outbreak monkey.

5. 5. Tank Girl

   
   1. Earthquake
   2. Comet
   3. Flood
   4. Peak Oil

   Comet.

   Of course, the real issue is the drought brought on by the comet.

6. 6. End of Days

   
   1. Famine
   2. Solar Flare
   3. Global Warming
   4. Satan

   Satan.

   Spoiler alert: Satan is Gabriel Byrne.

7. 7. Seeking a Friend for the End of the World

   
   1. Asteroid
   2. Comet
   3. Aliens
   4. Overpopulation

   Asteroid.

   And no, we will not accept “comet.”

8. 8. Quintet

   
   1. Aliens
   2. Disease
   3. Ice Age
   4. Atomic War

   Ice Age.

   At least Paul Newman looks like he dressed for it.

9. 9. Mad Max

   
   1. Global Warming
   2. Peak Oil
   3. Biological Warfare
   4. Nuclear War

   Peak Oil.

   The scariest part about running out of oil is only having Mel Gibson to guide us.

10. 10. Pandorum

    
    1. Robots
    2. Aliens
    3. Overpopulation
    4. Asteroid

    Overpopulation.

    And then a whole bunch of scary crap happens in space.

11. 11. Doomsday

    
    1. Virus
    2. Nuclear War
    3. Earthquake
    4. Flood

    Virus.

    It’s called the Reaper virus, because subtlety is not one of Doomsday’s strengths.

12. 12. No Blade of Grass

    
    1. The Rapture
    2. Famine
    3. Robots
    4. Comet

    Famine.

    Have you ever been so hungry you’d eat a blade of grass? Exactly.

13. 13. The Book of Eli

    
    1. Zombies
    2. Global Warming
    3. Satan
    4. Nuclear War

    Nuclear War.

    The Book of Eli takes place 30 years after a nuclear apocalypse. Time to get it together, guys.

14. 14. The Omega Man

    
    1. Solar Flare
    2. Biological Warfare
    3. Aliens
    4. Robots

    Biological Warfare

    Which once again results in killer mutants, as is often the case.

15. 15. Knowing

    
    1. Aliens
    2. Solar Flare
    3. Earthquake
    4. Asteroid

    Solar Flare.

    There are aliens, but they’re actually just trying to help.

16. 16. Soylent Green

    
    1. Virus
    2. Aliens
    3. Flood
    4. Global Warming

    Global Warming.

    And yes, Soylent Green is people.

17. 17. The Darkest Hour

    
    1. Aliens
    2. Robots
    3. The Rapture
    4. Biological Warfare

    Aliens.

    More schlock from the man who brought you Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

18. 18. The Ultimate Warrior

    
    1. Disease
    2. Peak Oil
    3. Earthquake
    4. Ice Age

    Disease.

    Imagine being so sick you couldn’t even appreciate Yul Brynner’s well-oiled chest. Sad.

19. 19. Miracle Mile

    
    1. Biological Warfare
    2. Aliens
    3. Nuclear War
    4. Robots

    Nuclear War.

    The movie Volcano also featured the Miracle Mile. I’ll let you guess what that disaster was.

20. 20. The Day After Tomorrow

    
    1. Disease
    2. Ice Age
    3. Robots
    4. Atomic War

    Ice Age.

    It’s like global warming, but backwards. Because science!
