10 Undeniable Truths Movies Taught Us About The End Of The World

Apocalyptic films are our "What to Expect When You're Expecting" for the end of the world.

1. There's Going To Be a Big Wave

The end of the world loves killing humanity with a huge city-swallowing wave. Invest in a private jet and/or helicopter.

2. Traffic Is Going To SUCK

With all the huge waves, aliens, and asteroids flying around, people BOOK IT out of all the major cities. Of course, this never helps, the climax of the alien invasion or the biggest meteor shower ever ALWAYS happens right over your car when you're bumper to bumper.

3. You Can Just Punch Aliens If They're Bothering You

4. New York City And Los Angeles Are Screwed

I would just move if you live in either.

5. Someone Is Definitely Going To Have To Die to Save Humanity

DON'T WORRY! It probably won't be YOU! It's usually an old surly guy with nothing to lose or a bunch of astronauts. If you're either of those things... thank you for your future sacrifice.

6. Aliens Are So Not Cute

Malevolent aliens that want to harvest us and take over the world are NEVER cute. They're always pale and have huge squid headdresses or a Vincent D'Onofrio skin suit.

7. Kids Are The Worst

UGH, remind me to not have kids during the Apocalypse. They just weigh you down, complain, cry, and you have to quickly explain death to them if they're really young and dumb.

8. Your Friend Is Going To Get The Shaft

Sorry, your old college buddy isn't going to make it, but his or her death will only fuel your desire to kill every last alien and save the world. So, yaaaay, that's cool!

9. The World Won't Actually End

It's all going to be OK! The world never actually ENDS in an end of the world movie! "Humanity will reign forever and our earth will never die" is the most important truth we can take from our beloved end of the world films!

10. Except New York City and Los Angeles

They're gone forever.
