As with many sci-fi films, it is best to ignore the science in The Quiet Earth. It makes little or no sense. Partly that is due to the very poor script, which is the weakest part of the film. That weakness is ironic, because in many ways the film relies on the script to carry the action forward.
Bruno Lawrence's performance has been well-rated, though his diction is rather poor for a scientist- in fact he really doesn't sound - or look - the part at all.
It isn't explained how it is so easy to fix meals while travelling south. The absence of power and fresh food would make such mundane matters rather difficult.
Generally an intriguing film, and sure to be remembered for a long time.
