Постапокалипсисът в съвременното кино
Post-Apocalypse in contemporary movies

Summary/Abstract: Apocalyptic film is a subgenre of sci-fi, featuring the life of humans during the end of the world or dealing with the aftermath of a doomsday event such as the World War III, where nuclear, chemical and/or biological weapons of mass destruction are used; alien invasion of the Earth; machine uprising; a pandemic; asteroid striking the Earth; coming of prehistoric monsters; climate or other disasters. A doomsday movie is often combined with post-apocalyptic motifs. A disaster is combined with its immediate aftermath, i.e. its impact upon the life of the survivors. The narrative features a section drawing of contemporary reality in the light of the perception of generations umpteenth times removed. The style suggesting barrenness, solitude and horror facing obsolete and desolate buildings or equipments is also defined as post-apocalyptic.
