10 Sci-Fi Movies Where Everyone Dies

Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World is a curiosity of the everybody-dies-in-the-end club. Unlike most of its bedfellows, it is not a thriller or horror or misery in any way, really.

Seeking A Friend is a strangely upbeat and offbeat indie that follows Steve Carell's Dodge Peterson, who seeks companionship as a 70-mile wide asteroid heads straight for Earth.

Overall, the film is bloodbath-free, making light of the darkness at the end of the tunnel in a series of gently comedic incidents as Dodge partners up with abandoned dog Sorry and his newly-single neighbour Penny (Keira Knightley). The pair make a cross-country journey in hope of finding someone to take Penny back to her family in England in time for the end, and along the way they make amends, right some wrongs and fall in love.

Though the film tells us in both its opening moments and title that nobody is going to survive, we hold off on believing it until that final shocking moment when everyone and everything, Dodge and Penny included, are wiped out. The couple lie face to face in bed, lamenting the time they spent without each other, and the burning white light of impending doom engulfs them and presumably the rest of the planet with it.
