Ten Worst End of the World Movies of all Time
Here is a list of what I, The Editor and CEO, believe to be the TEN WORST 'End of the World' Movies made to date, at the time of this writing, which is September 2011. The criteria by which I determined which movies to place on the list is as follows:
[... badly orchestrated, in this case...]
- End of the World content
- Believability within the confines of the story or theory it is based on
- Scientific probability
- Entertainment value and critical rating
- Quality of special effects
- Interesting storyline and characters
- Level of intelligent provocation
1) End of the World (1977)

Dull, cheap sci-fi thriller, made with an almost total lack of conviction (a control room full of computers and other devices used to receive and decipher messages from outer space is run by only ONE MAN, and is VERY poorly guarded at night), and full of campy sound effects. Christopher Lee is not only wasted, but he also gives one of his few "I'm here strictly for the money" performances. (*1/2)
