Mankind has been predicting its own demise through various methods from fables and religious scriptures to hard-core scientific studies since the dawn of time. And if there is one thing Hollywood knows how to exploit it is the fears of Things to Come. Movies about the end of the world have been around since the early days of cinema and ÊArmageddon Film FAQÊ is a look into the various methods we have destroyed ourselves over the years: zombies mad computers uptight aliens plunging objects from space crazed animals Satan God Contagions the ever-popular atomic bomb sometimes even a combination of these in the same movie!ÞÊArmageddon Films FAQÊ goes from the silent days of filmmaking to the most recent (literally) earth-shattering epics from cinema to television and even the novels from comedies to dramas from supernatural to scientific.
It also explores other aspects of the genre such as iconic but unfilmable apocalyptic novels postnuclear car-racing flicks domestic dramas disguised as end-of-the-world actioners and more ä from the most depressing to the happiest Armageddons ever!
