Ruins of the Modern Age: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog The Movie|Sonic: The Movie]]'' treats the viewers to the long-abandoned ruins of a city on the surface on the hero's way to Eggman Land—and amazingly, the traffic lights still work!

* At one point in ''[[Scrapped Princess]]'', the three main characters pass through the decrepit remains of a skyscraper. All that's left is the cement skeleton, but one of them remarks on how unnatural the "rock formations" look.

* ''[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle]]'' has Acid Tokyo, which is [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]], a future version of Tokyo where unceasing acid rain has made decades look like centuries and the place has begun to become a desert. By extension, {{spoiler|Clow Country}} is also this, although there has been has been enough time that only one building remains immediately visible above the sand, and its weathered enough to be unrecognizable.

 

* ''[[Planet of the Apes]]'': "You maniacs! You blew it up! Damn you! Damn you all to hell!"

* ''[[Survivors (TV series)|Survivors]]'' is set in the then-present day and depict the aftermath of a ''virulent'' disease. Our works are sliding into ruin.

* ''[[Logan's Run]]'': The world outside the domed City is all ruins, including an overgrown Washington, D.C..

* The ending of ''[[A.I.: Artificial Intelligence]]'' takes place in a flooded Manhattan where all the skyscrapers are collapsed, in the process of collapsing, or in really bad shape overall.
