Apocalyptic Thrillers On Satellite Tv Popular In Michigan

Citizens of Michigan may feel safe and unthreatened while sleeping in their beds

, but just on the westernmost coast of the US, Hollywood is apparently worried about the end of the world! An increasing number of movies with apocalyptic themes may be only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the actual anxiety those in Hollywood are experiencing about the end of days. In Michigan, those who like movies and other programming are having a hard time turning on their satellite TV without finding something dark and disturbing popping up on the screen. While there are many films that go overboard, there are some with excellent messages that are quite worth the watch. This guide may help to weed out those which should be avoided for being sensationalized, and those which have a great message.

Whether you are convinced that running out of fossil fuels or Global Warming will be the ultimate cause of planetary destruction, a variety of filmmakers have explored for you what it might be like after that happens. The average apocalyptic flick looks far into the future, like Planet of the Apes (1970 and 2001). No matter which version is on, there is a lot to be learned about the tangents society could take should humans not cease to destroy the planet. For those who would like a lighthearted take on the whole global destruction thing, Wall-E (2008) is a touching animated tale about a small robot left alone on the Planet Earth. This small robots days are filled with endless garbage compacting, a great recycle message wrapped in a charming Pixar movie!

For a little more grit and savage behavior of the last remaining inhabitants, try Mad Max: The Road Warrior (1982). Set in post-apocalyptic Australia, Max Rockatansky is constantly on the lookout for renegade post-apocalyptic biker gangs. In 12 Monkeys (1995) a virus is to blame, and much of the population is destroyed during the 1990s. Time travel and desperation prevail after. In The Day After Tomorrow (2004) Global Warming destroys most of North America, proving that weather destruction films can be touching, and also that they look good in high definition! In 2012 (2009). A global geophysical shift is discovered, and the end date of the Mayan calendar coincides with the date scientists are predicting for destruction.

For a little bit more of a wacky space twist, try The Fifth Element (1997), set in 2263 this thriller is a satellite TV movie favorite, and features an evil plot that must be stopped using the Earths five elements, and a woman named Leeloo. In the classic film The Terminator (1984) Sarah Connor must be saved from a cyborg and as such is protected by Kyle Reese, also from the future, and the Terminator. So convincing it once caused mass hysteria, War of the Worlds (1953 or 2005) is based on the H.G. Wells sci fi classic, once read over his 1938 radio program. This exciting story tells what would happen if Martians were to attack in real life.
