Sounds like you went through a real ordeal. You didn’t get COVID, but experiencing multiple organ failure is intense. It’s definitely a challenge that leaves its mark-just like so many of us have our own stories from the 'Great COVID War.' I’m glad you made it through and hope you’re feeling better now. Take care!

The Stand and Outbreak are also excellent recommendations in this genre.

That’s an interesting point! Most movies focus on the CDC as the main agency handling epidemics, while Fort Detrick, the military’s premier center for infectious diseases, rarely gets mentioned. It might be due to the CDC's broader recognition, but including Fort Detrick could add a more militaristic angle to pandemic stories. Thanks for the thought - it’s intriguing to consider how that could impact the realism of these films!

You’re right, Contagion is more of a thoughtful, realistic take on a pandemic than a typical thriller. It carefully depicts the process of quarantine and the hunt for a vaccine, which did mirror the early months of Covid. An excellent movie that focuses on facts and a detailed portrayal of the situation. Thanks for the comment - it’s always good to clarify the distinction!

I get it - the 2020 version really doesn’t live up to the 1994 miniseries. The original had a unique atmosphere and captured the spirit of the book so much better. Sometimes, remakes just don’t hit the mark.

In another part.

So glad you love the list! I'm happy to introduce you to something new - it’s always fun to discover lesser-known movies and shows. 😊 Let me know which ones you end up enjoying if you decide to watch them!

I understand not everyone is a fan of AI, but I’d like to clarify that the channel isn’t run by AI - only the narrator is AI-based. Everything else is my own work. All the selections, opinions, and editing come from my passion for cinema and my desire to share it with others. Thanks for the honest comment, and I hope this clears things up!

I know that feeling! Sometimes it’s tough to decide, especially with so many good options. Maybe try something lighter if the last one was intense? Or go for something you’ve been meaning to watch for a while but kept putting off. Happy watching!

Sounds like you’ve got a great stash of movies lined up! Skyfire and Into the Storm are packed with action and intense scenes. Looks like movie nights will keep you busy for a while. 😊 Enjoy, and here’s to discovering even more gems!

The Wave and The Quake are both fantastic disaster movies! The Wave is often available on Netflix, and The Quake can usually be found on Amazon Prime Video or VOD. It's a good idea to check JustWatch or Reelgood to see where they’re currently streaming in your area.

Awesome to see that pride! Outside is truly a unique production that showcases the talent and creativity of the Philippines. It’s great to see it gaining international recognition!

I get that - Pandora really has a way of pulling at your emotions! The characters and situations make it hard to watch without feeling deeply moved.

Awesome that you enjoyed The Flu, Helix, and To The Lake! They’re all strong picks in the virus and global threat genre. If you end up checking out some of the other recommendations, let me know what you think. I hope you find them just as engaging!

I get it, Train to Busan 2 doesn’t quite measure up to the original. It missed that intense emotion and freshness that made the first film so special. It’s a shame because it had so much potential! What do you think was the biggest letdown in the sequel?

Nowhere near as good.

Thanks! You’re right, The Last Ship is a great show that would definitely fit well in this kind of list. The survival theme and global threat make a big impact. Thanks for the reminder - I might add it to the next list!

Thank you for subscribing and the kind words! 😊 I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel. If you have any suggestions or topics you’d like to see, feel free to let me know - I’m always happy to hear from viewers!

I couldn’t agree more! The Walking Dead is an absolute classic and the gold standard for post-apocalyptic shows. 👌 The atmosphere, characters, and constant tension make it hard to look away.

I get what you’re saying - Sweet Tooth definitely has a bit of an unsettling feel when you think about where the storyline could go. The story could indeed head into darker territory, with humanity trying to 'restore balance' to nature. The shifting relationships between humans and hybrids open up a lot of possibilities for the future - even some less optimistic ones. It would be interesting to see how the creators choose to develop this aspect!

I completely agree! The Road is an incredibly powerful film - raw, realistic, and deeply emotional. It captures the post-apocalyptic atmosphere perfectly, where every day is a struggle to survive. 100% recommended! Do you have any other recommendations in this style?

​@@bestmovies-wg1rq'28 weeks later' movie is also good

That sounds like the start of a pretty intriguing movie! Imagine a post-apocalyptic world where only good-looking people survived - society would look completely different, and the pressure of perfection might become the new challenge. What do you think would happen in a reality like that?

@@bestmovies-wg1rq I was making fun of all the movies/shows that only have good looking people as the protagonists . Its very unrealistic.

Great idea! Those fast, aggressive zombies really do amp up the adrenaline and add more thrill. I’d be happy to make a list of movies featuring 'runner/sprinter' zombies that are sure to bring more horror than the slow ones. Thanks for the suggestion!

Great choice! Fear the Walking Dead really stands out among post-apocalyptic series, especially with its unique approach to the beginning of the apocalypse and its well-developed characters.

I get your disappointment. Often, movie adaptations don’t capture what makes the book special and end up skipping over crucial parts of the story. It’s a shame this one didn’t deliver - it could’ve been a great adaptation.

Thanks! I’m glad you liked the choices. 😊 If you have any recommendations of your own, I’d love to hear them!

Americans have definitely produced some iconic post-apocalyptic movies and series - from The Walking Dead to Mad Max. They have a knack for creating that atmosphere of uncertainty and survival.

It seems there’s been a bit of a mix-up - Block Z is actually a Filipino movie, not Korean! We've clarified this before, but it’s always good to explain. 😊 If you're a fan of zombie films, you might still enjoy it!

I get it, Apocalypse Z didn’t really stand out for you - sometimes the expectations are higher than the result. 😊 As for the rest, the modern approach to characters isn’t for everyone.

Absolutely, Jericho was a great series! It perfectly captures the post-apocalyptic vibe with all the tension and uncertainty. Each episode had something special and kept you on edge.

I totally get it; you've been waiting a long time for a list like this! ❤😢 I’ll definitely make a video on underrated but great psycho killer movies. Hang tight - it should be coming to the channel soon! Thanks for your patience!

I agree, the original The Stand was much closer to the book and had that unique atmosphere that’s hard to recreate. And 12 Monkeys - absolutely brilliant! It’s amazing how well they captured the complexities of time travel and created such a gripping story.

I see what you mean!
