Earth Day watch list: five warnings from Hollywood to be kind to planet

In honour of Earth Day Saturday, here are five reminders from Hollywood to be good stewards to the land, sky and sea — or else face the possible end of human civilization as we know it.
‘Wall-E’: Disney+
This animated 2009 Best Animated Feature Oscar winner is set centuries in the future and follows the titular robot tasked with cleaning up mountains of garbage left by stuff-obsessed people on an uninhabitable Earth.
‘Waterworld’ : Prime Video
Kevin Costner plays a lonely mariner, who has grown gills and webbed feet, in this 1995 post-apocalyptic epic. The film shows a futuristic world where all of the continents are covered by water after the polar ice caps have melted, causing the seas to rise. The few survivors live on boats, eternally searching for dry land.
‘Snowpiercer’ : HBO
Inspired by a 1982 graphic novel and 2013 film of the same name, the three-season science-fiction series is about some of the only survivors of a devastating weather event who become the class-divided passengers of a perpetually moving train that has been circumnavigating a frozen Earth for nearly a decade.
Don’t Look Up : Netflix
This 2022 Best Picture Oscar nominee starred Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio as NASA scientists, who spot a comet heading for Earth, try to warn anyone who will listen and find a way to lessen its predicted cataclysmic impact.
‘Extrapolations’: Apple TV+
The eight-part drama was created by Scott Z. Burns, a filmmaker whose credits include An Inconvenient Truth and Contagion.
