I rather enjoyed this movie. It has it's slow moments, but it is real sci-fi, not the CGI infested modern action flick. "The Quiet Earth" follows what seems to be the last man on earth. Just when he seems to be going completely mad, he meets two other survivors, one being a woman. The two male characters become friends, but eventually start to fight over the woman. This is where the conflict ensues...You won't see a lot of special effects in this movie. What you have is a post apocalyptic setting outlining a much more human conflict. This movie deals with characters/personalities clashing in extreme circumstances. In some ways being alone on this planet is beautiful, in other ways it is horrible and all of this can be seen through this movie. This is classic thought provoking science fiction, not the kind where wall to wall action dominates character development. Original, interesting, but maybe not the most "entertaining". Still I back it, especially for an 80's foreign film.
