End of the World

"End of the World" falls within the science fiction genre with a comedic and meta approach. Typical elements of sci-fi present include the impending fate of humanity and an existential threat requiring heroic intervention. However, the film stands out by centering its protagonists on two video rental store clerks who are avid, sci-fi obsessed movie fans. This self-aware and humorous take differentiates it from conventional sci-fi titles by blending fan culture, pop references, and a comedic lens on the genre's usual tropes. Instead of professional scientists or military personnel, the heroes are everyday enthusiasts who leverage their extensive sci-fi knowledge and awareness of imaginative, "out there" solutions from movies to try to save the world, infusing the narrative with charm and relatability.
