The Quiet Earth (1985): Dir: Geoff Murphy / Cast: Bruno Lawrence, Alison Routledge, Peter Smith: Intriguing futuristic science fiction film set in the future. It seems to be addressing those activities we pursue when eyes are not upon us. Plot regards a government experiment that goes wrong leaving the earth bare of human life. Bruno Lawrence awakens to the quiet and everything seems fine until he notices no traffic on the roads. He believes that he knows what happened but unable to turn it back. Then the film has fun with carefree scenes where Lawrence enters a house and toils with lingerie. He also goes shopping, loading up with every unnecessary item possible but will realize that human conduct is needed. Soon a woman and a soldier surface. Conclusion doesn't satisfy but the plot is intriguing and directed by Geoff Murphy who is backed with decent production. We see a convincing futuristic worldview that is barren and nearly void completely of life. Besides Lawrence there is Alison Routledge and Peter Smith. Lawrence certainly has fun in his gradually sanity tested venture. Routledge and Smith add another level of emotion but not much leads to satisfaction. It plays like a fine idea with little character to explore it but for what it is, it seems intriguing enough to inspire thought. It fails to answer questions but argues the need for human conduct. Score: 7 ½ / 10

Directed by Geoff Russell, this is one of the most visionary and imaginative science fiction films ever produced. Years ago on a Saturday night, this movie served as my introduction to the SciFi Channel. That was back before SyFy and when great science fiction films were shown instead of schlock and reality junk. This was a terrific introduction and one I've never forgotten. Featuring an outstanding and memorable performance by Bruno Lawrence, it is that rare combination of an intelligent script and superb direction fulfilling the true potential of science fiction to tell a meaningful story. The existential power of this film is realized in a stunning closing sequence of incredibly haunting imagery, beautifully scored by composer John Charles, with special effects that are simple yet breathtaking. It may be one of the most moving, breathtaking, and thought provoking motion picture climaxes ever filmed. It is certainly one you will never forget. This is science fiction at its finest and deserves to be recognized as nothing less than a classic.

I cant believe I'd never heard of this before, and it took so much digging around to find! A nice, original, apocalypse movie, about the last man on earth. It captures the loneliness so well, but doesn't overdo it. My only complaint might be its management of time. It feels like the time it takes for things to get a little odd might be a bit short, and so, while in hindsight I realise there probably was a gap, while watching it I felt a little like it just tried to skip the slow progression to it. To avoid spoilers, I'll tell that that by a little odd, I don't mean a shift in the plot. I mean for the affects of loneliness to take its toll. And to top it all off, an amazing OST to match. I really cannot recommend this movie more, and it is terribly underrated.
