    It won’t even be good, either. It won’t be some big-budget blockbuster; it’ll be a movie by Dave, the guy in your survival group that just doesn’t quite get it and still thinks there’s anybody left alive to appreciate art. Also he plays all the characters.

    AI will continue making movies after we’re gone. Bots will give reviews and post their opinion in forums

    Since movies take lots of time to make and being “finished” is an arbitrary decision made by the director and/or producer, it would be nearly impossible to pinpoint one as the last.

    Kind of like a musician’s last song. Was it the last one they published, recorded, or wrote? What about the last song they half wrote or maybe recorded some partial demos?

    Ah, but some day the sapient squids who come after us will re-invent video recording and, assuming they tell each other stories, the industry will inevitably start up again.

      And the reanimated corpses of lawyers will rise if that squid looks too much like Minnie Mouse.

    Well, it’s difficult to define movie. There will be the last big blockbuster production. But maybe there will still be a smaller production that counts as blockbuster for some people. There will be documentation of stuff probably, does that count as a movie when people film their last days? I don’t think there will this one clear final movie, but yeah, it will (probably) end eventually.

    I don’t think it will be an apocalypse movie, because nobody will want to watch it at that point.

    Unless it’s a documentary, of course. “This is why we will all die.”

    The last human to paint the last painting, to poop the last human poop. Just like civilization we’re not frozen in biology either. Maybe we’ll be replaced by one or more progeny species, maybe it’ll be the end of the line for the great apes all together.
