  • We’re taking a look at the worlds of Mad Max: Fury Road, 28 Days Later, The Matrix and Terminator franchise to see which movie's post-apocalypse is the worst of the worst. Beyond just “hardest to survive,” we’ll figure out which one is the most miserable on multiple fronts: Worst antagonists, worst fellow survivors, worst environment, and more!

      Sarah Connor Chronicles is set chronologically before T3, until it skews towards a new timeline (wibbly wobbly timey wimey), although it does take two elements from T3.
      Personally, I think the show had it's flaws, but was better than T3, taking the Terminator franchise in a new direction, and Lena Headey nailed Sarah Connor IMO.

    You forget that the Terminator lost. They always lose. It’s why they keep going back in time. Can’t be the badest if you’re constantly losing. The Matrix baddies allow the humans to think there’s a savior coming, when it’s not. I think constantly worrying about projectile blood is the worst.

    While this is a fun little comparison, I also greatly disagree with it. Both Terminator and Matrix are obviously the most dangerous based on the fact that the surviving humans are being hunted by artificial intelligence and not humans. In The Matrix, man may have "scorched the sky", but that doesn't change the fact that the sentinels are now on a killing spree! To act like the machines of the Matrix are less of a threat because man started things...is just ridiculous! Might I remind you of Skynet and human error?! I won't choose between Matrix and Terminator. Both are worst case scenario!!!
