What movie is the quintessential post-apocalypse film? Is it a classic action thriller like Escape from New York or Mad Max, or something more modern and satirical like Don’t Look Up? Maybe there’s a supernatural twist to your favorite, like World War Z or I Am Legend. Well, this 2002 movie blends all three of those elements to make a product so incredibly “of its time” that somehow, 20 years later, it feels at once like a timeless experience and a time capsule to bygone era.
