Apr 10, 2018
Collecting 4 parts of a series together in one publication, this narrative is set in a post-apocalyptic Earth where the new species have evolved and survived. The story follows Ana as the hunter-gatherer for her community and using AI guns follows an action-adventure format. A well illustrated and engaging graphic novel it is not always easy to follow, but then life isn't always straight forwards either.

Little Engine Go
So i found this movie really intresting. I like the sci-fi future post apocalyptic setting, it was really intresting. Im not sure why alot of people didnt like this movie, cause it was really good.
The plot: Hundreds of years after a cataclysmic event destroyed civilization, mysterious young Hester Shaw emerges as the only one who can stop the city of London -- now a giant predator on wheels -- from devouring everything in its path. Feral and fiercely driven by the memory of her mother, Hester joins forces with Tom Natsworthy, an outcast from London, and Anna Fang, a dangerous outlaw with a bounty on her head.
Peter Jackson produced it and he also wrote the screenplay. It feels like a peter jackson film. I feel like he should of directed it.
Anyways its a really great post apocalyptic movie that has sci-fi, action, adventure and is in the future.

Post Apocalptic Setting
Don't Stand So Close To Him
The Road Warrior- ups the action, the adventure, the post apocalyptic setting and of course max returns. Dont stand so close to him, cause he might shoot you. So stay your distance from him. Max is furious, dangerous and of course mad.
The plot: After avenging the death of his wife and young son at the hands of a vicious gang leader, Max (Mel Gibson) drives the post-apocalyptic highways of the Australian outback, fending off attacks from nomadic tribes that prey on outsiders. Falling into an encampment led by the relatively peaceful Pappagallo (Mike Preston), Max at first schemes to steal their oil, but soon becomes the group's reluctant defender against the hulking Humungus (Kjell Nilsson) and his ruthless marauders.
Its a good film, i personally like the first one better. But this one is really good as well. If you havent seen it, than watch it.

OMG!! Where to begin?!? I put off reading this novel for so long because it is post-apocalyptic, which I'm not interested in AT ALL. However, it was AMAZING!! The setting jumps throughout various periods of time and follows several different characters. The novel is full of intertwined stories and details and includes flashbacks and several recurring themes. There is no way to explain how well-written this novel is. I loved it so much!

Amazing book
My Favorite set of books this is, the first gets you really into it as its a take on post apocalyptic America that I certainly had never read before, the personalisation of it (the way its written in first person) makes it feel so much closer to the heart so that when Katniss hurts, you feel it you really feel her struggles etc. Its extremely well written and I can't reccomend it enough.

Good cast overall
Another apocalyptic tale similar to a quiet place, The Happening, The Mist. An unseen force drives people to commit suicide unless you can keep your eyes covered. Sounds like a slightly silly premise but the quality of the actors rise this above average. It could do with a bit more action but it will draw you in nevertheless. If you like these sort of films mentioned you'll like this.
Apocalyptic Social Media!
A book set slightly in the future, this tells the story of how social media has developed to such an extent that everyone is now directly linked to the internet. Everything is fed to them, so that they no longer have to learn to do anything for themselves. Something goes wrong however: something of apocalyptic proportions. People are Taken, and their feed is invaded. This can happen when they sleep, so no one sleeps alone. This follows Tom, Kate, their daughter Bea, and the people that they try to start a new life with on a small holding after the Collapse.
I really, really enjoyed the last third of this, which is when everything started to happen. This is the only reason why I’ve scored it a 7/10. That last third was really very good, however the first two thirds did drag a little for me. I’m glad I persevered though!
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy to read and review!

Warm bodies, warm hearts
Described to me as the Zombie twilight, I would actually say twilight is the vampire version of Warm bodies. I adore anything post apocalyptic and whilst this is a bit more romantic than I normally like this book hit the spot wonderfully!
Full of twists and turns, heart rendering moments. Urgh, I just can't express how much I loved this book.
Would 10/10 recommend for anyone who needs a good book to curl up with.
