Kind of an enjoyable New Zealand sci-fi flick which, from 1985, may be the latest example I know of of that slightly campy but good, character-driven 1970s-type movie making. A scientist wakes up to find everyone else in the world gone. He spends half the movie doing what I actually realistically think people would do if they can go unwhere and know nobody will see them: keeping himself entertained in fine style, driving big trucks around, stealing art for fun. Eventually he meets some other people and they just kind of survive and worry about the future. It doesn’t sound like much of a plot but, I dunno, it’s a pretty good, even if not great, movie. It has a rating of 6.7 in IMDB, which is about right, in my opinion.
I also like that when he meets other people, there’s some initial apprehension, but mostly they’re happy to see each other and try to get along, they don’t just start shooting guns at each other like most movies would have done for contrived drama.
Also, I have to say, it’s got an old-school modernist orchestral score that I really liked. I could have sworn it was Alexander Courage, but it’s a guy named John Charles and this is apparently regarded as his best score.
