Ramtin journal entry #2

This book reminds me of many different movies. The first is Oblivion. This 2013 movie starring Tom Cruise takes place in a post apocalyptic and futuristic setting, the only difference being that it was caused by aliens in this movie and by nuclear war in the book ‘blade runner’. Another similarity is that humanity is evacuating to another planet in both stories; Mars in blade runner and Saturn in Oblivion, but the main character in both stories remains on Earth.
The second movie is terminator salvation. This 2009 movie also takes place in a post apocalyptic setting similar to blade runner. Also, it is similar because the plot is about humans fighting against robots, some of which are highly intelligent just like in blade runner. In blade runner, there is a large issue with androids looking and behaving like humans, and in terminator, the main character ends up being a robot even though he looked and behaved exactly like a human.

The last movie is dawn of the planet of the apes. While this movie isn’t futuristic, it is still post apocalyptic due to a majority of the human race being killed by a disease. The story greatly involves the relationship between humans and the apes in a post apocalyptic world which can be compared to the human and android relationship in blade runner.
