Apocalypticism is the religious belief that there will be an apocalypse, a term which originally referred to a revelation of Gods will, but now usually refers to belief that the world will come to an end very soon, even within ones own lifetime. Apocalyptic fiction does not portray catastrophes, or disasters, or near disasters that do not result in apocalypse. A threat of an apocalypse does not make a piece of fiction apocalyptic. For example, Armageddon and Deep Impact are considered disaster films and not apocalyptic fiction because, although earth andor human kind are terribly threatened, in the end they manage to avoid destruction. Apocalyptic fiction is not the same as fiction that provides visions of a dystopian future. George Orwells Nineteen Eighty Four, for example, is dystopian fiction, not apocalyptic fiction.
