You know how it is. You're walking along, look up in the sky, and suddenly a massive rock is heading towards Earth ready to crash into your face. Quick as a flash, you run around like a nutter trying to find the best way to stay alive and warn everyone else on the planet. 

In between scrawling "THE END IS NIGH" on a sandwich board and running around naked like Kirsten Dunst, you rifle through your DVD collection of movie apocalypses to work out what to do. Armageddon? Deep Impact? What about zombies or natural disasters? Then you realise that you've actually just been watching Lars von Trier's Melancholia, out this weekend in UK cinemas, and that the world isn't about to end after all.

Oh well, at least you've got this handy set of instructions for when the apocalypse actually arrives...

 

 

For more end of world goodness, head this way to watch the Melancholia trailer.

 

Alternatively, take a look at some of our other How To... infographics, including How to Kill Your Horrible Boss, How to Slay a Vampire, How to Survive an Alien Invasion - and a diagram of Christian Bale Punching People.

 

And you thought it was all about the Olympics... No, 2012 spells nothing less than the end of the world. From Roland Emmerich, director of Independence Day and The Day after Tomorrow, this is the king of disaster doing what he does best. A cataclysmic apocalypse, tearing the globe in two, 2012 sees John Cusack struggling to survive the horrific event. And what better way to watch his survival than in the comfort of your own un-destroyed home?

It's not out until Friday 13th November, but here are two new clips for Roland Emmerich's destruction fest. One shows Woody Harrelson predicting the doom of humanity. The other? Well, as you'd expect from such an epic movie, there are bound to be a few hairy moments. And so, naturally, it makes sense that 2012 features possibly The Craziest Car Chase of All Time. Watch it: it's incredibly daft and insanely spectacular. The full trailer's over in our videos section, or read on for the clips...
