  DVD Review - The Quiet Earth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
The entire city is deserted, except for a single, confused man. This chilling premise is the opening of Geoff Murphy's "The Quiet Earth," an intriguing science fiction movie from New Zealand.
Although based on a novel by Craig Harrison, "The Quiet Earth" bears several uncanny similarities with the 1959 film "The World, the Flesh and the Devil." In that film, Harry Belafonte also finds himself in a deserted city, namely Manhattan.
All in all, "The Quiet Earth" is a thoughtful science fiction outing, and Anchor Bay's release should appease the fans who have waited too many years for it to make its way to the digital format.

 The Quiet Earth
Consequently, when a film like The Quiet Earth comes along, and deals with the end of the world in a sober, non-action-movie fashion, the impression it makes is even more arresting than it would be solely on its own merits.
Indeed, The Quiet Earth’s refusal to take its cues from The Road Warrior is doubly remarkable, for not only was it made in 1985 (the same year as Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome), it was shot just over the Tasman Sea in New Zealand.
Zac may well be the last person alive on Earth, and if he doesn’t find a way to escape from the lab (the main computer has just activated the automatic anti-contamination protocols, sealing the laboratory subbasement with Hobson still inside it), then even he won’t be around much longer.

It is the thing you bring that quiets them, not the disposition of their own spirits, not any good temper in their own hearts, but the external thing you bring them.
Now I say that contentment is a quiet frame of spirit and by that I mean that you should find men and women in a good mood not only at this or that time, but as the constant tenor and temper of their hearts.
If God gave you not only earth but heaven, that you should rule over sun, moon and stars, and have the rule over the highest of the sons of men, it would not be enough to satisfy you, unless you had God himself.

 DVD Savant Review: The Quiet Earth
The Quiet Earth followed up a quiet American theatrical release in 1985 with a short life as a curiosity on cable TV and VHS, where its arresting key art attracted fantasy fans.
Fifties science fiction movies were quick to discover the morbid thrill of the 'depopulated Earth' concept, in which humanity has mysteriously disappeared or been driven away by a cataclysmic atomic war, a verminous plague, or even an alien invasion.
The Quiet Earth is one of those movies best seen without too many spoilers, which makes us wonder if it was necessary for the theatrical trailer (included) to reveal so many of the show's surprises.

 And You Call Yourself a Scientist! - The Quiet Earth (1985)
Bruno Lawrence is absolutely riveting throughout these scenes, and The Quiet Earth may well have been a stronger film had it continued its narrow focus upon the effects of a total catastrophe upon the mind of a single human being.
For a while, it seems as though The Quiet Earth is in danger of deteriorating into a re-make of The World, The Flesh And The Devil; but to its credit, it manages to find a few new twists in its stock situation.
As post-apocalyptic movies go, The Quiet Earth is recommended to viewers who prefer the cerebral to the sensational, and intellectually stimulating, character-driven stories to splashy special effects.

The "last man on Earth" sci-fi sub-genre is reasonably well represented by director Geoff Murphy's The Quiet Earth, a 1985 film from New Zealand that earned plenty of Kiwi kudos in its day but still fails to measure up to the great expectations engendered by its premise.
Bruno Lawrence is Zac Hobson, a techie who's involved in "Project Flashlight," a vast energy grid that allows war planes to circle the planet without ever refueling (leave it to "the Americans," who are blamed for the whole ensuing mess, to come up with such a diabolical idea).
I actually enjoyed the parts with Lawrence by himself the most, especially the sequences where he went a little loopy and was running around a vacant city in a woman's slip brandishing a shotgun.
