Fascinating science fiction that gives the audience plenty to think about. I think all these 'last man alive' movies fall in to the same trap of having to do something with the second and third acts - see 28 Days Later or The Last Man on Earth for particular examples of a good first act rapidly dropping off. The Quiet Earth handles it better than most however, and manages to remain engaging in spite of some ropey acting by Lawrence's colleagues.

Shifts between being a casual C-grade end-of-the-world scenario and a proper portrayal of intense loneliness. Thankfully, it favours the latter and ends up being a pretty exciting lo-fi sci-fi film without going overboard in any way.

Nice concept, poor cast. The end-result is a movie that barely holds one's interest, not the least because it's chalk-full of hackneyed twists.

great plot, the main character was hilarious. i recommend it

Guzel bir konuyu yeterince iyi isleyememisler.

Pretty cool sci-fi flick. It's missing that extra something but the atmosphere of isolation is top notch.

I quite like this movie, the story is alright and the actors are ugly!

It has that great Sci-Fi attribute: you'll fall asleep fantasizing about it. A world in which you're the only one alive. There are a lot of fun things you can do, but how long before you start to feel the sickening need for companionship? Is a world for yourself a life worth having? This movie does a good job. It captures the alienation and the various stages of going through a.. 'remarkable' experience like this quite well. The ending shot is mesmerizing, in all it's epic lowbudgetness.

The woman's acting when she finds out what the Maori guy did is hilarious.

nice idea but not well played out

Intriguing premise and great general story but it gets bogged down by mediocre special effects, acting never reaching beyond "decent" and a general low budget feel of the film. See it for the idea, not for the spectacle.

Well done film, with some iconic moments. DVD also has a very open and interesting commentary.

For sci-fi, which is a genre I generally avoid assiduously, rather interesting and thought-provoking.

Bruno Lawrence is reat in this quirky little number, well worth checking out just for Bruno alone.

I remember this as being quite silly and laughable.

Wildly overrated variation on a common sf theme

The "last man on Earth" scenario is an intriguing premise, but difficult to pull off. Quiet Earth does not succeed very well. It's best not to even think about the fuzzy science involved, the acting is merely adequate, there's a completely unnecessary chase scene, and on the whole it just doesn't do anything that interesting with the concept. Not that it's a bad movie, though... it's perfectly watchable, and has a pretty cool ending.

Not bad.

This story of the last man (almost) on earth is effective especially in the first half of the film, but gets bit boring once the triangle love story appears. The end of the film is worth seeing again..

A great premise that didn't go over as great as I wanted it to. I think the best parts were before any other characters were introduced and it was just one man having the entire world to himself. And the last scene was awesome but just confused me more than I've ever been confused before. A true WTF moment.

Pretty well pulled-off mostly due to Bruno Lawrence, whose period of solitude is the highlight. When the supporting cast is introduced, the picture lags a little, mostly due to the acting, which goes from mediocre to horrible. To call this another end of the world flick isn't really giving it much credit. The plot details are left pretty vague (I'm still not quite sure if the world ended or just these folks') and the end is totally confused. Still, entertaining and watchable.

The first 35 mins are probably the best, and a decent ending.

Good Movie

Really cool and original movie.
