Line 97:
* ''[[Titan A.E.]]'' begins with the destruction of the Earth, and [[After the End|continues with the survivors from there]].
** {{spoiler|Near-perfectly inverted at the end with an Earth Creating Kaboom. The [[Big Bad]] shows up to try to destroy the Titan AE, but instead destroys himself and creates <s>a new earth</s> Bob.}}
* ''[[The HitchhikersHitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy (film)|The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy]]''. Ironically, rather than a "terrible, ghastly noise" (as the book, listed below, describes), the destruction of the Earth in the film version is silent (more like an earth ''imploding'' "zip").
* The Genesis Device from ''[[Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan|Star Trek II the Wrath of Khan]]'' and ''[[Star Trek III: The Search For Spock|Star Trek III the Search For Spock]]''. While technically a subversion (not only does it actually create habitable planets through [[Terraform|terraforming]], rather than blow a habitable planet into random debris, it can blow random debris into a habitable planet), the problems with it stem from the fact that if used against an inhabited planet, it would quickly destroy every living thing on a planet in favor of its new creation. In addition, the newly minted planet fell apart after a few weeks in ''[[Star Trek]] III''.
** Kirk's son couldn't actually get the technology to work so he put proto-matter in it. It then worked initially , but proto-matter being unstable that's why the planet self destructed.
