Photos: The apocalypse on the big screen

Release date: Nov. 20 | The destruction: We don’t know the cause, but the raging fires and destroyed landscape indicate it wasn’t pretty. | We were warned: “Mad Max,” “A Boy and His Dog,” “The Postman,” “Testament.” | Chances for survival: Bleak. Really, really bleak. | Lessons learned: A solid bomb shelter is a must; bonus points for a good arsenal and weapon training.
