The Quiet Earth

Special Features (Blu-ray)

• Commentary by Neil deGrasse Tyson and Odie Henderson: If you are buying this disc for the commentary, prepare to be disappointed. There's more dead air than talk, and the contributions by Henderson, who identifies himself as a critic for RogerEbert.com, are superficial and frivolous. (Example: "Boy, I wish I had this lawnmower when I was a kid! Hey, is that a Macintosh?") Tyson, when he does speak, is his usual articulate, enthusiastic self, but there's too little of him. Henderson wastes the opportunity to question the eminent scholar about the film's underlying science—or even to ask why The Quiet Earth is one of Tyson's favorite sci-fi films.
• Trailers (1080p): Trailers marked with an asterisk also play at startup. Note that these are Film Movement trailers and not necessarily original trailers.
