5 Things To Do This Weekend

Published:Friday | March 27, 2020 | 12:09 AM

With more people staying at home, almost like we’re living out an apocalypse, you’ll have some time on your hands. May we recommend five movies that give their own take on life during and after cataclysmic events that shift the balance of nature?

Doomsday

Set in Scotland (so not a worldwide event, but still), it gives a look at governments and the roles they play in the handling of deadly outbreaks.

9

Sentient rag dolls represent what’s left of the world. They try to preserve (and possibly start to rebuild) a desolated planet, while battling a soul-stealing machine. End scene will make you cry.

Waterworld

Humans try to find dry land on an Earth that, because all the ice caps melted, is almost entirely covered with water (yep, even way more than it is now).

Priest

The war between humans (led by skilled warriors called priests) and vampires (which are not human-like, but rather a completely different species) has left Earth pretty wasted. But the war, thought long ended, is just beginning.

Reign Of Fire

Dragons (yes, dragons) reawaken from a lengthy slumber and decimate most of humanity.

Two separate groups of survivors (with two completely different strategies) unite to take back the planet.
