Reflexively-compelling in explicative pandemic-design & pub.health/epidemiology cognizance doubling as a modernized parable of natural-crisis – with heavyweight Cotillard led cast, weighty medical-and-societal themes, & pure bioterror. 8.8/10.

Mewtwo Strikes Back: Evolution (2020)
The greatest video game movie, PTFM takes cues from the world’s biggest sci-fi, horror, & action/adventure films with breathtaking new visuals and strikingly-complex religion allegory, philosophy, emotion, fandom-service, & sociology. 9/10.

Noah (2014)
A cinematographically-striking, visionary modern portrayal of the biggest story ever told with the biggest scale imaginable in apocalyptica w. strong performances; belief system-relying, but the most cinematic biblicism ever on big screen. 7.9/10.

12 Monkeys (2015)
A high production-value modern TV series from Syfy that – despite bold risks that sometimes pay off and sometimes don’t with a decent cast – ironically plays down the science-fiction and kooky charms of the beloved time-travel original. 7.8/10.

10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)
Although Goodman & Mary try their hardest with this painfully uninspired script, 10 Cloverfield Lane is a somnambulistic test of patience with seemingly no clue it bears the name of a monster franchise-fans waited 8+ years for answers to. 4/10.

Godzilla (2014)
Though mixedly-acted by a cast of international stars & often bordering [somehow] on monotonous, Edwards’ 2010’s-modernization of the kaiju icon packs enough prosaic man-v.-nature philosophical discourse, epic-scale cinematography. 6.5/10.

I Am Legend (2007)
An apocalyptic thriller, viral outbreak parable, last-man-on-Earth adventure, and humanity/man’s best friend-analysis, IAL is one of the diverse end of the world films – despite poor CGI, saved by a (legendary) Will Smith performance. 7.3/10.

Fear The Walking Dead (2015)
Leaner, meaner, & dramatically more electrifying than TWD, Fear-TWD paints the zombie apocalypse as it unfolds – with massive entertainment-value, CGI budget-fix, and wild TV riot-scenes, despite a weak cast/poor-characterization. 7.3/10.

28 Days Later
‘What if there was an elegant zombie movie?’ Boyle sets out to answer that call with jolting viscerality & bludgeoning realism; a post-apocalyptica tour-de-force ghastly in wild 28-day societal-collapse, anarchy, layered primal social commentary. 8.8/10.
