Uno de los temas más trabajados por el género fantástico en las cuatro últimas décadas escenifica la posible destrucción del planeta Tierra por razones muy diversas, como bombas atómicas, impactos de meteoritos o misteriosas profecías. El cine fantástico imaginó estos panoramas describiendo un final de los tiempos en tal número que incluso forman un subgénero. Algunas películas del arco temporal de esas cuatro décadas servirán para ilustrar dicho planteamiento, como Armageddon, El día de mañana, Señales del futuro, El núcleo o La carretera. El malestar cultural de la sociedad tardocapitalista se antoja terreno abonado para este tipo de pesadillas colectivas.
One of the most common topics in the fantasy genre over the last four decades has been the destruction of the Earth, caused by various things such as atomic bombs, meteorite impacts or mysterious prophecies. Fantasy films have envisioned the end of time so often that they have even become their own subgenre. This can be illustrated in films from the last four decades, such as Armageddon, The Day After Tomorrow, Knowing, The Core or The Road. The cultural malaise of late capitalist society appears to be a breeding ground for this kind of collective nightmare.
