Genres
Genre (French genre, Latin genus - genus, species) is a group of films produced on the basis of similar features of their construction. The genre cinema system is not complete, it does not have strict boundaries. Below are the main, most important genres of modern cinema. The definition of a work for a particular genre is conditional and ambiguous. This is confirmed by the examples of films of different genres given by me, some of which have been used more than once.

Sometimes the means and technologies that led to the catastrophe are considered to be forbidden in society, and the calmness of such a pastoral society is undermined by young rebels who intend to revive the forbidden technology (already in the story of Stephen Vincent Bene "On the Rivers of Babylon" there is a hint of such development, the classic examples - "Long Tomorrow "by Lee Brackett and John Wyndham's" Deviation from the norm "). Often in one work the apocalyptic is combined with post-apocalyptic, the depiction of the catastrophe as such - with a picture of its immediate consequences and its impact on the life of the survivors.

In the literature, this genre closely adjoins and sometimes mixes with cyberpunk.
