2 must-see films about environmental awareness

Nowadays apocalypses movies have become more popular among people.  Some of them are based on book’s, history or just imagination. However, there are some of them which are based on mathematical predictions for the future and climate change. One of my favorites movies in this topic is Elysium, Elysium is a futurism movie, that describes the life of people who are living in a “perfect” spaceship, while other people in the Earth is living in the “hell”.

The Earth is unhabitable after many years of excessive use of natural resources and high pollution rates. Nonetheless, there are some survivors living on the Earth. For them life is hard, they have to fight for everything, even for water. Unlike the people who live in the spaceship, who are very rich and could afford that high living level, they have all cures for all illness, so they can live for a long time until the Earth became habitable again.

This movie makes their audience meditate about how far we are for that point where there is no going back. If as a human race we do nothing for fighting the climate change, this could be an scenario on Earth, where the Earth is totally damaged and the richest live comfortable, while the poor survivors fight for their lives.

Another movie that I really recommend to watch is “The day after tomorrow” I watched this movie when I was 8 years old and it is still stuck in my mind. It is about the consequences of the high levels of CO2 in the atmosphere and climate change. During the movie, It shows how natural disasters started to be more constants and strong all over the World. As well as their horrible consequences.

This movie has a powerful message for all those people who think that global warming is a hoax. Even though it is an old movie, their special effects are very good, and the topic was advanced by their time of the premiere. I truly recommend.
