Review of The Quiet Earth (1985) by Daniel Q — 24 Jun 2010
As strange as it sounds, the only way I can describe this movie is by saying that it was ahead of it's time yet it has aged badly. The concept is something you would expect to see in a movie now in days yet it was made in 1985.
The storytelling however, is the main flaw. At times the story is convoluted and hard to understand. Also, the DVD does not offer subtitles, which really sucks since the actors have strong accents. Half the time I had no idea what Api was saying.
It's a drama and a sci-fi. It has some really cool looking scenes. Especially in the beginning of the movie when Zac is walking the "Quiet Earth". Overall, it's not great but it's definitely worth a rental.
