I just wanted to say, Sarah, you're GLOWING

[@vickytime3855]

Right?? And what is on her eyes?😍

[@ladav7575]

I came here to say the same thing!! She looks so happy and it’s just radiating off her

[@cannotwaittoseedavanteadam4301]

For some reason, I always equate glowing with pregnancy. Wait, is she pregnant?

[@NoisyButters]

as someone who has a fear of space, im gonna try my best to watch these movies!!!! ill start w the first one, feet on earth = good 🌎

[@zyphayt]

Don’t know why but I would never have expected to find a comment from butters on this channel

[@cultofthedasyu6392]

Space is a scary place. Ask Neil deGrasse Tyson. In an interview Neil said that as an astrophysicist he's fascinated with what happens in space, but would never want to go there in his life.

[@BrianMeetsWorld]

Why you scared of space lmaoooo

[@yukiyukari77]

Went to post a comment and top comment I see is from butters. lol okkkk hi butters!

[@ThePoisonLotus]

Gigantic warning: DO NOT watch Melancholia if you’re not in THE BEST of mindframes, it’s gonna mess you up GOOD

[@traciewabluee3508]

Now I have to watch it. 🤷🏼‍♀️😆

[@teyrasiridae4704]

The title of that film wasn’t a giveaway? ;)

[@blg988333]

It does not pull any punches.

[@azophi1]

I don’t think I’ve ever been in the best of mindframes but I love Melancholia enough to have watched it five... six times. Beautiful film, clicked as soon as I saw it in the thumbnail.

[@adrimarie3050]

I'd say dont watch any Von Treir films if you're not in the best mindframe lol Dancer in the Dark messed me up pretty bad too I am obsessed with lars though and love all his films but do agree, they will have a major impact

[@screamcollective8661]

You look SO happy and radiant. I'm so glad you're settling into your new space, and I loved this vid!

[@toxicsugarart2103]

My tenth movie on this list would be Wall-E 😌 can u tell I’ve never seen a space movie in my life lol

[@tibb75]

Considering the theory videos I've seen about it, it's borderline horror.

[@haileymarie9232]

Me: Horrified of space and planets bigger than Earth... “Yeah I’ll watch this video”

[@dramaqueeninator]

I always get so excited when people shout out Head Count! I know Elle personally and I am soo incredibly happy people are loving her work, I know I'm really excited to see what she makes next.

[@PossessedbyHorror]

omg really! that’s so cool 😭

[@megansimplystitch]

I just watched HC on Prime based on your comment. I went in totally blind. It got me good! Normally I'm not affected by a lot of horror movies. Just wanted to let you know that it got me. I still feel my skin recovering from the goose bumps. Now I'm a fan, too. Thanks for the recommendation! 💜

[@koopakiid16]

I could imagine this channel being called "PossessedbySpaceApocalyptic" hahaha

[@blg988333]

I would definitely recommend These Final Hours in terms of a movie that feels a lot like Meloncholia. Not nearly as great cinematography but it has that heavy doomed feeling as people try to live the last few hours before the blast wave of a comet impact wipes everything out.

[@rocconorth]

Yeah...I thought for sure this was gonna be on her list. It is the literal description of the video. At the very least, I'd like to know if she seen it...it's pretty good and, imo, better than some of the one's presented here.

[@codeinesnaps]

I would like to recommend ANnihilation... I know it's more on cosmic horror but the visuals of that movie!!!!

[@user-vn7ce5ig1z]

I guess that's a good recommendation for anyone who likes very slow, very boring movies with visuals. 🤷

[@Noe278]

@@user-vn7ce5ig1z 9 wouldn't say it's boring. That's very subjective. Some people find action movies boring 🤷‍♀️

[@mala6238]

Good one.

I remember, when I first watched Melancholia I thought : Yes, this is what depression feels like, finally someone got it right, thank you very much. 🙏🏻 My favorite Sci Fi movie is Moon. 🌕 Not Apocalypse but so good.

[@formerclarity8836]

Agree! I honestly think that the first half of Melancholia is the best depiction of depression that I've ever seen on film.

[@tri3183]

Check out Another Earth, Moon is a mindbender. Have you seen the sequel to Moon?

[@sheneedscoffee]

@@formerclarity8836 Yes!!!

[@sheneedscoffee]

[@tri3183]

@@sheneedscoffee No problem lol though I haven't seen the sequel yet its called Mute and its on netflix US, I'm gonna check it out tomorrow. Apparently part three is going to be a graphic novel according to the creator Duncan Jones fyi

[@traciewabluee3508]

The midnight sky on Netflix staring George Clooney. More apocalyptic then space. It’s a slow burn but good one.

[@MickeyKnox]

I highly recommend an australian or new zealandian movie called THESE FINAL HOURS - I'm pretty sure you will like it.

[@willythepeachfacelovebird]

Speaking of NZ. Check out The Quiet Earth. Older indie. On Amazon here in Aus.

[@MickeyKnox]

@@willythepeachfacelovebird Yes, The Quiet Earth is also a great film

[@faisons8618]

A very strange movie that I’ve heard no one talking about is Event Horizon. I watched it on a FaceTime call with some friends a couple months ago and it shook every single one of us up. It definitely isn’t for everyone but the visuals and set designs were definitely ahead of its time

[@UnwrittenSpade]

It’s amazing most horror fans love it, there is a special addition blu ray about to come out

[@brettevans2138]

Sunshine is my most favorite of all on your list, favorite sci'-fi movie in general to be honest. I too have frequent apocalyptic type dreams whether coming from space or weather/ human caused here on earth

[@icouldbeevil3110]

What about "Armageddon" with Bruce Willis and so many others. Space, possible apocalypse, action, drama and humor.

[@emmaberger3748]

She literally said “recommend any movies that are NOT Armageddon” and something else

[@icouldbeevil3110]

Oops, she sure did. Sorry 😤 I wonder why she omitted it.

[@leighs966]

@@icouldbeevil3110 it's one of my fave movies but it is more of a 'guilty pleasure' kinda movie. Though I love it for many reasons it is a pretty silly cheesy action diaster movie lol so I can why it wouldn't be included here

[@chezlolxo]

Never realised I had a thing for this sub genre but Interstellar is also one of my favourite movies! Just noting them down to go off Melancholia Aniara Interstellar Sunshine The Wandering Earth Ad Astra Greenland Knowing 3022 Life

[@SR-oc7fc]

One of my favorite genres too. I really enjoyed Europa Report, which actually has some stunning visuals. For cheesy old school watching, terrible 2010 always holds a place in my heart. Who doesn't love HAL and monoliths? Not as groundbreaking as 2001, but I'm a fan.

[@tobiasmohr3991]

Not sure, if you've seen it already, but I feel like you might really like the show "The Expanse" on Amazon Prime ... its not exactly apocalyptic, but its probably my favorite sci-fi/space show ever and has some incredible visuals ...

[@georgemetz7277]

The Expanse is quite possibly the best sci-fi series ever, and that's coming from a huge Star Trek fan. Just out and I'm trying to like it but not sure of, is Debris. I love the concept more than anything.

[@Riri988d_jsus]

recommend you watch the movie "Apocalypto" it has some really good gore in it that I think u would really like.❤️❤️❤️

[@MickeyKnox]

and where is the "space"-connection in this one?

[@theupwardspiral1580]

It's a slow burn as well. I thk she would like it too. Great suggestion!

[@serenemoods]

Arrival 2016 Life 2017 Annihilation 2018 The series “Origin” only has one season and i think would LOVE every moment of it, even thou you’re not that into series!!

Not apocalyptic but I really enjoyed Europa Report; you’ve probably already seen that one but just incase 😊

[@nikto7297]

I'm gonna watch some space horror movies to overcome my childhood fear of aliens

[@coolhive2941]

I like your list, even Knowing. I watch Sunshine at least once a year. Love it. Interstellar makes me cry every time. And Life was so overlooked. Since you said to skip Deep Impact, then I’d suggest the original Day the Earth Stood Still. It holds up, IMO.

[@nessyshackleford]

"jupiter is one of my favorite planets in our solar system"- says the pisces sun & sag moon 😌😎😊 i love astrology 🤍✨

[@tri3183]

I would like to suggest Another Earth, its not necessarily apocalyptic it is more of a philosophical exploration of "another earth" suddenly appearing and orbiting our sun and the orbital patterns criss cross close enough and the implications that arise from such a cosmic surprise. Very good drama/philosophical/scifi movie that's super underrated imo. If you're familiar/fan of Brit Marling and haven't seen it please do.

[@AndréVilaFranca]

This is one of my favourite sub genres in films too. INTERSTELLAR is one of my favourite films of all time.

[@Sophmorical]

It’s not apocalyptic, but Another Earth is an amazing space focused movie that has stuck with me for years that not enough people talk about.

[@tartanic1560]

Have you seen Moon (2009, Sam Rockwell)? One of my favourite movies of all time.

[@vickytime3855]

I love Moon too. Have you seen Mute? Same writer/director.

[@PossessedbyHorror]

omg yes LOVE Moon

[@mjthedealer]

‘Moon’ is 🔥

Have you watched/reviewed Apollo 18? Its a found footage style film

[@mr.ashtastic8063]

Sarah: At the top of the list is Melancholia. What the heck happened to Interstellar? Also it’s Kirsten Dunst not Kristen Dunst

[@libramoons]

i was excited to watch melancholia but i ended up being bored 90% of the time :/

[@paullucas7053]

Great list and thank you for sharing. I would add Annihilation, one of my favs. Keep up the great work; love your videos. 👏🏻😷💥

[@user-vn7ce5ig1z]

• 4:37 - If you like really slow movies with nice visuals like _Melancholia,_ then you'll like _Tree of Life_ which was the most boring movie in history, but had a ( _very_ ) long segment in the middle of nothing but nice random visuals. • 8:39 - Actually, _Sunshine_ is indeed technically a horror because of the supernatural stuff. • 12:13 - Those aren't moon-pirates, _they're whalers on the moon, they carry a harpoon, but there ain't no whales, so they tell tall tails and singing a whaling tune._ • 14:57 - _Knowing_ was fine. 😛 He was also in another adaptation of _Left Behind_ (not space-y, but still apocalyptic). • If you like space-apocalypse movies, you'll like _These Final Hours_ it's very dramatic and moving. There's also the mini-series _Childhood's End_ which leaves you with a very heavy and oppressive feeling.

[@HauntedHippie]

You have to watch the Netflix George Clooney movie Midnight Sky!! Sort of a weak plot but 100% worth the visuals

[@Nessi5]

First and foremost I have to comment on how lovely you look today! You could really see how passionate you are about this genre by how excited you were while talking about certain movies on the list! I think it's an interesting genre to talk about as well, I know there are a lot of YA shows revolving around it like the 100 or Lost in Space but I can't say that I've seen too many movies about it. Would love to hear some more deep dives around you personal favourite genres and/or movies! I find them relaxing to watch :)

[@rocconorth]

There's no doubt she's very pretty, but i'm hesitant to even acknowledge it because in today world it's considered "wrong" to see such things.

[@amytaylor555]

Sunshine also has an AMAZING score. Other movies use it all the time, like the scene in WW84 when she is learning to fly, they play the music from Sunshine.

[@TheTeethgrinder]

Not entirely apocalyptic, but what's your view on Event Horizon?

[@megansimplystitch]

I'm a big fan of Event Horizon. I wish the stored film hadn't degraded, so we could have watched the uncut/ director's cut of the movie.

[@UnwrittenSpade]

One of the best films ever

[@fancywaffles]

@@megansimplystitch we're getting a new blu ray release from Shout Factory! It still won't be everything, but the list of special features is great. Definitely better than the bare bones releases we've had heretofore.

[@EraOfSarahYT]

Firstly, i also love apocalyptic movies, of any kind but space ones are interesting, havent seen melancholia, but seen most of these. Surprised you didnt include the Core, one of my favs. I watched sunshine last night, and didnt love it, i didnt like that the characters were really introduced and even the plot for me could have been introduced better. The fact-it did become horror at the end was a surprise and it felt out left field, also 2012 is good. I also didnt love 3022, just didnt always make sense to me, and similar to sunshine, characters werent introduced well enough for me, i mean Miranda Cosgroves character didnt even get a chance. But love this video! Life is a good one too! 👍🏻🌚

[@macabria_]

Oh, I love Sunshine so much. I think I've never heard of space-apocalypse movie genre. It would be interesting to hear more of them. And now I have to definitely watch Melancholia.

[@ttrashley]

I wish I could go back in time and experience Interstellar for the first time again. But obvs the movie taught us that is not possible. 😪

[@BrittsBites402]

The opening sequence in Melancholia is one of the most stunning things I've seen in a film.

[@maryn7414]

*Greenland (2020)* made your list, but I am surprised *_The Midnight Sky (2020)_* didn't make it.

[@RedMei126]

I freakin loved Sunshine. I feel like it’s a great blend of multiple genres and has great themes.

[@Black8Apple]

I watched Sunshine yesterday based on your recommendation and OMG I absolutely fell in love. For me it was one of those movies, that after seeing it you feel almost dissociative for a while. Needless to say, I have to see all of the movies on this list now, there has to be other gems🤯

(Sorry this is unrelated to the actual video !! i’m actually going to watch it now !! I was just very excited for two new videos in 24 hours aaaa!!)

[@jorgeamaya6407]

I was frustrated with Melancholia I was so into it. I was overwhelmed with everything. The story was confusing and it was chaotic. The third part was WILD. It was sad and hopeless. As of today, idk how I feel about it.

[@uhuhuh1966]

Melancholia is the ONLY horror movie to still give me nightmares to this day, and I’m almost 30

[@uhuhuh1966]

@TP lol sometimes films create their own reality and you just have to immerse yourself in it instead of trying to apply logic to everything. Not all films take place in our reality some take place in a dream state in order to illustrate it’s themes. Melancholia is a film about depression, and there’s not a lot of things more depressing than us being alone in the universe.

[@watchernotacritic8863]

First of all, amazing video as usual. Second of all, YOU LOOK SO GOOD GIRL, KILLING IT ASFFFF

[@ocd9033]

Melancholia hit me hard the first time I saw it. Which would be the only time I've seen it.. it's one of the best movies I've ever seen. And one of the most impactful films to me personally. That ending scene basically took my breath away. I've always been scared of an asteroid hitting earth, or a space explosion, etc killing off earth ever since I was a child, and this movie captured that kind of fear, and nihilistic depression I've felt throughout my life often. Such a strong movie. Now the funny thing is, with a movie I consider a masterpiece, you'd think I would surely see it more than once, but I'm scared of ruining that first time experience I had with the film. Like maybe certain things I remember about the film are actually different or something. Idk. Really strange, so I can't explain it. But when I saw that film, I was in a certain head space.. and it hit me like a ton of bricks. Very happy to hear you mention it lol

[@PeterMacansky]

[@OBCDeeznutz]

I'm a fan, I enjoy all of your content, but I especially like when you talk about favorite things, you really shine! Also, I feel like I've been missing out on a whole genre and now I need to find these movies.

[@thenoellew]

I thought I was the only one who really loves this specific genre! Interstellar changed my life. For a couple years, I was going to school for Astrophysics because of this movie. I decided to change my major for personal reasons, but it still left an impact on me. And I ALWAYS CRY TOO!

[@iconictimmy7382]

Girl u have no clue how excited I am to watch this! Keep it up ur doing great and I’m proud of u! Ur beautiful and u made my day🥰 (ps plz watch dead set 2008 Ik we ain’t the biggest fans of zombies but we love some reality tv highly recommend) ily

[@GreetingsFromBlackwoodFarm]

I LOVE space apocalypse movies, too! I can watch 'em all just for the visuals. Watched Aniara last night. Wow. And I share your hope for the end of the Earth: watchin' another planet hurtle towards us. What a sight!! Have you seen Cargo (2009), German film? Or Europa Report (2013)? The Expanse on Amazon Prime is also a great recommendation! Pandorum (2009), Event Horizon (1997). Not necessarily apocalyptic, some, but close. Oh, and Last and First Men (2020)!! Great video, Sarah!

[@allines.realmx]

You should watch the new Twilight Zone series on CBS All access. It has a space apocalypse episode that was so amazing. I think it was around the end of the first season. But the entire series is pretty great,

[@chaneh1887]

Im scared to watch melancholia , i loved every movie I’ve watch from Lars von trier but they’re mentally intense

[@vickytime3855]

His movies are definitely intense. Melancholia is really beautiful, if you can go in knowing that depression is the basis you'll be ok. It's definitely not graphic like a lot of his other films.

[@kirakirakirikiri]

Yeah, maybe just...don't bother with Von Trier's Antichrist. xD. After watching this, I feel like you'd enjoy the plot of the game Mass Effect: Andromeda. Not the BEST game, but a great concept. Check out Space Sweepers on Netflix!

[@ZGMFX28ANuLiberty]

As a dedicated fan of science fiction, this video fills me with life. :3 1) Melancholia didn't really do it for me. :/ 2) Now I want to watch Aniara. 3) I rewatched Interstellar last year as part of a "Biggest Sci-Fi Films I've Seen Between 2013 and 2020" retrospective and gained a greater appreciation for it than I already did. I was struck by how eerily it felt like the current state of the world. 4) Did you know that the reason the Sun is dying prematurely in Sunshine is because it's been "infected" by a Q-ball? 5) I'd watch The Wandering Earth again, but only with friends. 6) And another movie on my "Biggest Sci-Fi Films I've Seen Between 2013 and 2020" retrospective. Of the films on that list, Ad Astra was the one where my opinion changed the most. I was disappointed when I first saw it, but gained greater appreciation for it after the retrospective. 7) Hmm, going to have to give Greenland a look. 8) Yeah, going to have to give Knowing a hard pass. 9) Hmm, going to have to give 3022 a look. As to the tenth entry on this list, Life (2017) is definitely a solid choice. Perhaps The Midnight Sky from last year? Or Mad Max: Fury Road?

[@leorivers7759]

Your comment that "The World cannot fathom a World Without a World or without it!" [ at 2 minutes] Struck me as amazing. Why? Because the IMMENSITY of Space and the IMPERSONALITY of Nature - a hugeness that renders Humanity and Human ideas of good and central insignificant is the very Central Recognition of HP Lovecraft's concept of Cosmicism*, the numimousity of Horror people feel when confronting the tininess of Earth and the Monsters that await us "out there". Most folks think “Tentacles and Monsters’ when thinking about Lovecraft, but that is an uniformed misunderstanding. Think about Tippi Hedren tip toeing upstairs in The Birds terrified by what she may find… That indicates the type of thing HL sought to evoke in his stories. You indicated you love of Space based End of The World tales has a real link to HPL and Cosmicism. * en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmicism “Cosmicism and humanism are incompatible.” HPL and Cosmicism see also What Is Cosmicism?: The Philosophy of Lovecraft kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2eqi6KCqJxgjpY

[@evanlicausi4790]

Well this isn't space apocalypse so much as straight space sci-fi but... EUROPA REPORT. I'll watch Europa Report and Sunshine any (and every) day of the week

[@esoteric76]

This is a great sub-genre, and the list contains Aniara, the only one that I haven't seen that I certainly NEED to watch ASAP. I loved 3022 which I saw after you recommended it. Great story. I was so fortunate to see The Wandering Earth on the big screen during it's limited US release and the CGI didn't really hold up for me. If this one ever gets a Hollywood remake, I think the visuals could definitely be improved (predominantly in the disaster set pieces) but the space stuff with the planets did look beautiful! You'll be happy to know that China is making a sequel!! (The Wandering Earth grossed $700M worldwide!!)

[@ireymm]

Ok, super off topic but, the fit of that shirt on you is AMAZING! it makes your arms and shoulders look SO good!!!

[@AmmoGlitter]

Recommending Claire Denis' HIGH LIFE, because your list needs some female directors! It's not technically an apocalypse movie, but definitely has the despair and hopelessness of an apocalypse movie. It's also REALLY weird and very R-rated (if you're sensitive to violence, bodily fluids and r*pe then definitely don't watch)

[@katwebbxo]

Not exactly an apocalyptic movie but if you like space visuals in general, 2001: A Space Odyssey is amazing. No CGI either. I know it's not for everyone but I think it's just a beautiful movie overall and highly impressive considering when it was made.

[@JustinWilliams367]

1. Avengers: Infinity War 2. Mad Max: Fury Road 3. War For The Planet Of The Apes 4. Edge Of Tomorrow 5. A Quiet Place 6. The World's End 7. X-MEN: Days Of Future Past 8. Thor: Ragnarok 9. Hellboy('04) 10. Cloverfield HM: Sunshine Pacific Rim Interstellar Godzilla('14)

[@rogerdier6813]

A super tip if you like spectacular visuals...one of my three favorite films is called "Chushingura" directed by Inagaki. It is japanese, as my other two favorites 'seven samurai', and 'sanjuro', by kurosawa.

[@Saturdaynightdrive-in]

1981's Outland - Sean Connery a marshall on Jupiter's moon and 1984's Night or the Comet- Haile's comet type of event, everyone watching the comet turns to dust. If you haven't seen, you'll probably like them. Little dated but still great.

[@blg988333]

Hah, the first one I thought of was Outland too :)

[@SR-oc7fc]

Nice! I used to watch Night of the Comet when I was babysitting. Best kind of cheese.

[@trisha4776]

Aniara is quite possibly the most depressing movie I’ve ever seen. My husband and I had a “space movie” marathon and we watched Interstellar, Ad Astra, and Aniara. My husband who absolutely hates depressing movies LOVED Aniara which I did not expect and I was left feeling so so sad and upset 😂 Interstellar makes me sob every time I watch it.

[@tibb75]

Just found your channel! I'm probably gonna binge over the next few days because I'm loving your POV on films. I do have a suggestion. It's not really space or apocalypse horror, but have you seen Coherence? It's kind of an existential/psychological thriller spurned by outer space events

[@rickriffel6246]

Knowing? I didn't know that was a space apocalypse movie. I would have rather picked Total Recall the remake. An ever better space apocalypse movie could be a big-budget remake of The Lathe of Heaven, if an ambitious director ever gets around to it. Until then we'll have to settle for the two made-for-TV productions of Lathe.

[@Dravenfrost]

I think Breach (2020) and Space Sweepers (2021) might both fall into this genre. (Breach is terrible though)

[@YolaResa]

I didn't see the wandering earth. I had heard about it and was poisoned against it. I heard about it because it was pinned the "highest budget film China every made". I'll watch it now. I love Ad Astra so much. I loved it on first watch. It's so chill. I watch it pretty often. I love Aniara as well. Jesus Christ that movie. It's brutal af. So amazing. This video has inspired me to chat about what films I really enjoy. Thanks Sarah.

[@pathatfield2543]

What’s your opinion of Moon?If you haven’t seen it,let me tell you it’s worth it,at least to me.Also,I think it’s really important to let you know about these two absolutely,completely superlative,really,really super-duper thought-provoking movies I saw called Deep Impact and Armageddon.Ha ha.just kidding about those last two,but Moon is still very good.When I gave it some thought,I realized that maybe it doesn’t really fall into the category of movie you’re discussing,but then I thought about it again and felt that,yes,it is a kind of space apocalypse movie,only the apocalypse here is a more personal,existential type but still bought about by space,or in this case the consequences of being in space.

[@Venya9]

I definitely know what you mean about scratching that apocalyptic space itch even though the movie isn't super great. 😂 I've always loved space apocalypse movies, back in the day when Netflix wasn't a thing and I lived with my parents, they had Knowing and Armageddon on DVD and I watched both of them ALL the time even though they are sooo cheesy and overall not great. I just loved the concept. I've watched Armageddon so many times since the early 2000's I can't watch it anymore. When I was a child I was so fascinated with everything space related, I had a deep fear of an asteroid colliding with Earth after reading about some speculations in a science magazine. Now I'm just fascinated.

[@DevinEDB]

Have you ever seen Coherence? Its on Hulu right now. Psychological thriller, my favorite genre. Edit: If you're going to watch it and you haven't seen it yet, please, take my recommendation and don't look up anything about this movie. It's much more impactful if you know nothing about it.

[@trevorjones8969]

Hey, good stuff - as ever. Just wondering if you have ever played the video game, 'Soma'? Considering the films you list here, I guess 'Soma' would be something that would resonate. Cheers from Blighty x

[@apophisrolo1339]

I think you will also enjoy Cargo (2009) a German sci-fi, a bit similar to Aniara. could be a bit hard to find though i don't know

[@RedX845]

The following movies are not really apocalyptic, but definitely some good space horror if you're interested: 2001: A Space Odyssey Event Horizon Europa Report Pandorum Pitch Black Prometheus The Red Planet

[@happyhobbit1261]

You are glowing ♡

[@CozyLumi]

This reminded me of a pretty great book series by Susan Beth Pfeffer. I read it like 10 years ago or something so it might be more directed towards teenagers but I think it's still worth a look. Anyway, the first book is called "The world as we knew it". An astroid hits the moon and pushes it towards earth which causes a lot of natural catastrophies. We follow a family of four, trying to survive in a world that changes drastically from what they were used to.

[@theupwardspiral1580]

What a great suggestion! I thk she was actually aiming towards young adult wasn't she in her reading list video? I seem to remember her saying she likes them.

[@pauline9580]

Melancholia was set very low volume wise,kept turning it up higher and higher..........suddenly realised in the last 5 minutes of the film as to why be warned it was goosebump worthy (must have been amazing at the cinema) wonderful film...watch it when you are feeling low.

Great list -- Do things like the Cloverfield Paradox qualify? Possible 10th movie, similar to Melancholia though not as pretty - "4:44 - Last Day On Earth" with Willem Dafoe. Very strong ending.

Love your videos! Random but...my therapist suggested during our 1st session I stop watching horror movies to reduce anxiety which I'm not going to listen to because I have no anxiety related to them in any way. I'd like to see a video on horror content and psychology given your background in both if you're comfortable with it. Not sure which channel it would fit on though lol. If you're not comfortable speaking on this I understand. I'm just very curious on your opinion about this. :)

If you like this tipe of movie, I'm shure you would love The Martian Chronicles book from Ray Bradbury

[@morgancomstock5011]

Literally nothing about the video really but technically, couldn’t Wall-E fall under the category of space apocalypse? Because it takes place in space and in a way it’s kind of post apocalyptic or at the end of the apocalypse? I don’t know just a thought 😂😅 I love your videos by the way I’ve been watching for maybe four years and I always look forward to watching more of your horror content and see you broadcast your thoughts and opinions!

I saw "Melancholia" at a private screening in Los Angeles. Kirsten Dunst was there for a Q&A afterward. It's a beautiful film. I have it on Blu-Ray and even have an original one-sheet poster hanging in my kitchen. You should check out other Lars von Trier films. "Breaking the Waves", "Antichrist", and "Dancer In the Dark" are just a few other feel-good films he directed. Great video!

You should be able to find lists of apocalyptic scifi movie on Letterboxed by members. One reason why love Letterboxed. I understand what you mean by a curated selection though...

Even tho I am not the biggest fan of space movies , I do considerate that the visuals are spectacular. I am definitely checking some out . specially AD ASTRA and OMG, I LOOOOOVED knowing , Its so entertaining to watch

Yay this apartment makes you glow🌟 Change is good 😊

Fun fact, I watched the knowing back in 2007/8? At one of those free movie review premieres and im not sure if the ending is the same but originally it ended with the entire planet like exploding and everyone dying, they didn't even have the movie fully completed because the last 5-10 minutes were incomplete cgi like watching a video game.

You should check out the movie Prospect (2018) starring Pedro Pascal. Spacey, and has a very human element to it.

A very confusing but visually interesting movie is Color out of Space. It doesn't take place in space but something out of space is the threat. It's more of a horror movie. I don't know if it's an "apocalypse" because it mainly focusses on one family but it's worth a watch :)

[@KitKatze1]

If you ever feel like giving anime a change: Voices of a Distant Star. Australian movie: These final hours- it does not take place in space but the "conflict" comes from space. This is the best apocalypse movie I ever saw, also just one of the best movies I ever watched.

So I am fascinated with space and I always found apocalypse movies interesting (zombie apocalypses tend to be my favourite) but the only space apocalyptic movies I’ve seen are Knowing and Greenland. Knowing wasn’t the best movie ever but it really messed me up (despite the cheesy ending). And then I watched Greenland with my parents literally a couple weeks ago and that messed me up even more. I personally liked the ending of Greenland because it felt optimistic and disaster/apocalypse movies tend to make me have an existential crisis

[@rylee4268]

It’s not a sci-fi or horror and not in space BUT this list made me think of Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, which is one of my favorite movies ever! It’s definitely good if you want a more “realistic” apocalypse (no human optimism hahah) and the end made me so emotional!

[@nmoddentity8401]

Have you seen Lars von Tier's Kindom? Slow, but one of the most interesting horror films out there (technically it was a series of TV shows put together to make a very long film).
