The series of the moment is ‘The Last of Us’ and from HBO they are knowing how to take advantage of the weekly rhythm of launching the episodes very well to leave the public wanting more. The negative part of this is that there will be those who don’t know much about it and thinking of them I wanted to make a selection of 4 Great Post-Apocalyptic Sci-Fi Movies that can be seen in streaming right now.
In the event that you prefer to investigate other territories within the science fiction genre, I encourage you to take a look at this review of great films set in space, this other of great films that mix science fiction and action or this essential film that mixes horror and science fiction. And in a more genre framework, don’t miss this list of some of the best recent science fiction movies available on platforms. Let’s go with today’s chosen ones:
‘Children of men’ (‘Children of men’, 2006)
Address: Alfonso Cuaron. castor: Clive Owen, Clare-Hope Ashitey, Julianne Moore, Michael Caine, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Charlie Hunnam, Danny Huston.
It is the only one that I could not resist including of all the films that were a direct reference to the time of the creation of the original video game. It’s not just that it’s one of the best works of science fiction so far in the 21st century, it’s also that Alfonso Cuaron He nailed it when it came to presenting a desolate future due to the lack of births, both in the amazing setting work and in an amazing staging, especially during the sequence shots. And it is that everything borders on a very high level and the only thing that was missing was the support of the public.
Review of “Children of Men”
‘Logan’ (2017)
Address: James Mangold. Distribution: Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Richard E. Grant, Boyd Holbrook, Stephen Merchant, Dafne Keen
A difficult farewell to overcome for the superhero played by Hugh Jackman. We will have to see what exactly they plan to do with Wolverine in ‘Deadpool 3’, but what we do have for now is a magnificent film that revolves above all around the relationship of his character with whom he plays a highly inspired Daphne Keen -It’s a pity that the sequel centered on her that we were promised at the time- was never made, which is reminiscent of Joel and Ellie in the HBO series.
Criticism of ‘Logan’
‘Melanie, the girl with all the gifts’ (2016)
Address: Colm McCarthy. Distribution: Gemma Arterton, Paddy Considine, Glenn Close, Sennia Nanua
A great alternative version of what ‘The Last of Us’ tells, because there is even a girl who seems the last hope of humanity to stop a disease that turns its victims into bloodthirsty zombies. If it is even a fungus that is behind everything! With a great job creating this universe and an impeccable cast -you also have Paddy Considine several years before going off the deep end with ‘The House of the Dragon’-, here a broader reading of humanity is offered through the characters that surround the protagonist and offers a simple but very effective vision of this subject.
Review of ‘Melanie, the girl with all the gifts’
‘A quiet place’ (‘A Quiet Place’, 2018)
Address: John Krasinski. Distribution: Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe
A stimulating cross between science fiction and horror with which john krasinski takes us to a chilling and silent future in which the only option that seems possible for the survival of humanity is to go unnoticed. From its resounding start, ‘A quiet place’ manages to put restlessness in the viewer’s mind, managing to work both from the intimacy of the leading family and when everything explodes in its final stretch. And if you like it, don’t miss its remarkable sequel.
