To answer OP's question each movie has to stand up to the premise set in its own universe. I'd say both are almost tie in how people would act based on what happened to humanity in the first place.
In OP's there's a food problem so everyone goes apeshit since that's a basic human need. In the other picrel it's a pandemic that's already long over. If there's no world governments left, no currency, no jobs then it would be sort of a chill apocalypse once things settle down, except for a few crazies.
They never say. It was "a bright light followed by a series of concussions." Could have been nukes, asteroids, volcanoes, it's vague on purpose. Neither you nor the characters know what happened, all that's important is survival.
>The Road. (You) people are so corny with these lame, overused replies. It’s not even funny. At least be funny. >The Road is the name of the movie.

You're too late, homosexual b***h, everyone's already had their fun with this post for hours. You've even failed at being party shitter, you should feel bad about yourself.
Before the internet? Yes.
I think if an irl apocalypse were to occur tomorrow there's be an awful lot of people running around in strange outfits and having sex in the woods before starving to death. This is the end is unironically more accurate of an urban apocalypse. The world is only as dark as its perceived by those in it so I feel as though it's a question of how swiftly paranoia can overtake the mass subconscious relief so many will feel when their daily drudge is permanently destroyed.
Then again, mostly anyone with a family will immediately resort to violence and robbery in order to sustain themselves so the "frick it" mentality is only as strong as the bohemian population in any area.
That's what makes it the most disturbing; it's the most relatable. There is still an ambulance service, police force and judiciary, but it's fading fast.
no, because technocrats are creating a virtual space to put the poor in a ghetto. And you need the poor to define and get rich
the whole VR thing is just the new version of the ghettoization of the democratic republics. Reminder that it's the bourgeois merchants who created this system 250 years ago and already at this time the wagecucks noticed that all the freedom the bourgeois talked about were more for the bourgeois than the cucks. Then it was the statu quo due to humanists conveniently creating TWO (2) fricking world wars and a cold war. Then the communist crap was replaced by identity politics.
Republics are the political tool used by the bourgeois to take power and kill kings, and the only mistake is that the peasants believed the bourgeois when they said the bourgeois will care about the cucks and remove the formal (ie legal) and the informal strata of the class system
It is the true the bourgeois removed the legal strata, but not the informal one, and 250 years alter, the bourgeois still say ''everyone is equal (ie bourgeois and cucks)'' but they don't do anything about it , and protip they don't plan on doing anything.
During monarchies, there was no need for ghettoization, because legally there was a class system so people dint mix up in the first place.
Russians fricked up and started a war they can't win so GRU is putting nuclear apocalypse and cold winter themes everywhere to scare westerners into stopping supplying Ukraine.
What a dark fricking movie. Only the communists could have made something so brutally depressing and devoid of hope. The Road was close, but Dead Man's Letters is darker.
this movie is utter shit and you know it.
the tone, pacing and acting its boring and laughable. >inb4 it's supposed to be gritty and real!
the amateurish acting and execution makes it tedious and not enjoyable. I simply couldnt bring myself to give a shit about all those bad local actors in their office buildings, the scenes seem to be assembled in random order and most of the time you cant even tell who's who anyways. all anglo Black folk look the same in their dingy 1960s appartments. even the scenes of mass hysteria and nuclear carnage are badly shot and unintentionally hilarious
>find a new post-apocalyptic flick that looks like it could be interesting >first 20 or so minutes are pure survival kino >the rest devolves into boring drama between a scrappy band of survivors and a not-Hitler-analogue warlord (or alternatively, if it's a zombie movie, some bullshit about how humans are the REAL monsters)
The Road was one of the few that remained consistently kino.
this movie is depressing, with the book even moreso. this is probably the worst apocalypse i've seen because its the most realistic, with shit like crossed being nonsense goreporn. i can honestly say in a world like this i wouldn't even see the point in surviving
>i can honestly say in a world like this i wouldn't even see the point in surviving
I barely even see the point in surviving in this world. The only reason I haven't an hero'd years ago is because it would destroy my family.
It destroys feminism, but not for the reason you think.
She committed suicide because she knew there were not enough supplies for the three of them to survive longterm. She knew that the father and son would have to leave and go south to survive. She knew that she was too weak to make the trip, which would make her deadweight. Also, being reasonably healthy and attractive, she would be a huge target. The son't best chances for survival were if he and the father made the trip alone.
She killed herself because she knew that a woman in a post apocalyptic world is a MASSIVE liability.
technically not an apocalypse but they're stranded on an island and scavenge abandon buildings while not trusting each other hoping help will eventually arrive
Two-actor survival movie during the WWII starring Marvin and Mifune? Frick, this sounds so good. How come I haven't heard about this already? Thanks for the rec!
Six-String Samurai is the most realistic post-apocalyptic movie, because it genuinely depicts how psychotic people would become, disconnected, in the ruins of modern civilization. The Road seems realistic, but requires a fantasy premise of food being impossible to grow, which leads to edgy things like roasted babies.
That's not a fantasy premise though, if a cataclysmic event happened like a large comet or a super volcano it would throw up dust and ash into the atmosphere that could make growing food near impossible for years, it happened in 536ad and again in 1816ad both those years saw partial blocking of the sun to to volanic eruptions and cause mass famines over large areas of Europe and Asia
You've obviously never seen Reign of Fire.

Why?
this is most unrealistic

What exactly was the apocalypse in that movie?
Watch it.
it's not important what happened
They never say. It was "a bright light followed by a series of concussions." Could have been nukes, asteroids, volcanoes, it's vague on purpose. Neither you nor the characters know what happened, all that's important is survival.
Yellowstone, but it's never confirmed officially
This would make the most sense with all the ash and the sun always being partly blocked
Not necessarily, nukes could have caused a nuclear winter.

It's between this, The Divide and the original MadMax
Seconding the first Mad Max. It hits that sweet spot where civilization is right at the edge of full on collapse.
That's what makes it the most disturbing; it's the most relatable. There is still an ambulance service, police force and judiciary, but it's fading fast.

>Technocrats
Thanks Dr G.E.B
just move to saudi arabia if you enjoy licking the boots of an absolute monarch so much.
God I hated the Divide.
It was like a soap on crack, the post-apocalyptic shit seemed like a backdrop.
more like 12 monkeys where the remains of humanity are imprisoned by a few scientist elites
why do i keep seeing this being shilled here? did an eceleb review it or has it just been released on netflix
It's a good movie
stop over using the word shilled
Don't shill me into not using a word. You anti-free speech shill c**t.
It gets mentioned on PrepHole regularly because it's a good film.
Sometimes movies are actually good
I loved the book, it was amazing
Russians fricked up and started a war they can't win so GRU is putting nuclear apocalypse and cold winter themes everywhere to scare westerners into stopping supplying Ukraine.
I liked the post-economic collapse in The Rover
I doubt things would be this fricked up in the beginning but after years of societal collapse I could see this being how the world ends up
*blocks your path*
This is the correct answer
Go back.
Did you get filtered by a bong movie, of all things?
One of the most ruthless movies ever made.

>if it's a zombie movie, some bullshit about how humans are the REAL monsters
This. They overplayed this trope ad nauseam.
bunch of good ones mentioned in this thread, but I liked this one too
this movie is depressing, with the book even moreso. this is probably the worst apocalypse i've seen because its the most realistic, with shit like crossed being nonsense goreporn. i can honestly say in a world like this i wouldn't even see the point in surviving
It really seems that the only survivors are those who hope that wherever they're travelling to will be safe or cannibals
>i can honestly say in a world like this i wouldn't even see the point in surviving
This except the real world
>i can honestly say in a world like this i wouldn't even see the point in surviving
I barely even see the point in surviving in this world. The only reason I haven't an hero'd years ago is because it would destroy my family.
Same bro
Hold out until the apocalypse so the alphas have something to eat.
not Eli being a badass but Gary Oldman that runs a restored town and uses religion with ulterior motives

too bad that ugly israelite from that 70's show ruins all the scenes she's in
Paw Paw
Scene legit had me bawling, everything he does to try to keep his kid alive and he has to deal with that level of uncertainty in his last moments
This film destroys feminism. Wonder if they even realized it. What. His wife "checks out" after a year, if that? Lazy b***h.
It destroys feminism, but not for the reason you think.

We've been in a post apocalyptic nightmare world since 1945
I didn't get what was so sad about the movie, it felt like it was trying too hard
Yeah, that and book of eli
I just want a post-apocalyptic film like it again without all the bullshit drama between group members focus you usually get.
technically not an apocalypse but they're stranded on an island and scavenge abandon buildings while not trusting each other hoping help will eventually arrive
Two-actor survival movie during the WWII starring Marvin and Mifune? Frick, this sounds so good. How come I haven't heard about this already? Thanks for the rec!
This was a good one. And unless you speak Jap and English, you only know what one of them was saying. Really enjoyed it.
Six-String Samurai is the most realistic post-apocalyptic movie, because it genuinely depicts how psychotic people would become, disconnected, in the ruins of modern civilization. The Road seems realistic, but requires a fantasy premise of food being impossible to grow, which leads to edgy things like roasted babies.

>most realistic
It's Fallout 2 the movie. I love it, but it's the opposite of realistic.
>a fantasy premise of food being impossible to grow
the indoor mushroom farmers do not fear the apocalypse
Nope, that'd be Threads.
Only film that had me crying, at least. I miss my dad.
It was the most boring depiction of an apocalypse, the kid was annoying as frick too.
The Rover was pretty good. I want more like it and the Road.
Ask us again in 2 more weeks, we should know by then.
No, they violate thermodynamics at least once
