James Cameron's Terminator and Terminator 2 are both centered in the world before the end of the world, yet feature characters coming from the future (where the machines have taken over) to the film's present day, to protect or prevent those character's future actions. What's increasingly evident especially in Terminator 2 is the description of how the world is going to end. It goes in great detail and shows a very struggling and graphic fight between man and the machines in the future. What I like about this series is the dark gritty atmosphere of the first one something which I will try and achieve with my video and the stronger focus on the apocalypse in the second film. Here are two clips below.
I also looked at films like The Road and I am Legend both do an excellent job in creating an atmosphere of what the world would be like if it ended, without a nuclear explosion and give the viewer an idea of how a good person would react to the end of the world. They focus more on the character more so than anything else, but I especially like the real unsettling empty feel that the world has in The Road.
