Or the post apocalyptic portion of Cloud Atlas, which I can't help but wonder if some inspiration led to HZD.

If more people watched and understood movies like this, the world would be a much better place, not like it's that terrible overall in comparison, but everything could always be better. Always.

I'm so out of touch with the movie scene these last few years. That looks pretty good though. I'll keep an eye out for it.

Well it's a 2012 flick so... lol. It's 6 stories in 1 that are jumbled together so you basically have to watch it all to see the entirety of the post apocalypse. Hard to find many pics or vid clips of that portion either. 

It's definitely worth the watch, but it's certainly not your typical movie and not everyone's cup of tea. It's really in depth and you have to think through it for it to mean anything. People who just want action and explosions won't care for it. When I saw it back in 2012 I only grasped a small portion of it, partially because it's presented in a somewhat confusing manner, but makes it's artsy and interesting, and partially because I didn't know much about philosophy and wasn't all that open minded back then. 

Mind you the visuals are amazing, especially the pre-apocalyptic future, just very little action. The Wachowski's backed off the action somewhat in V for Vendetta, then really backed off on Cloud Atlas.
