I just finished watching The Quiet Earth after hearing interesting things about it... man that movie is messed! I'm confused, how did the explosion at the end send him to an alternate universe or sumtin near Saturn?

Warning: spoiler!

My take was that he died again in the explosion which again left him in an alternate universe. Note that the last "event" had already begun when the truck blew up. This is how they ended up where they were in the first place - by dying during an event. And I don't think that was necessarily supposed to be Saturn. I think the point was that he was now in a universe far different from ours.

And why did the movie have to show him naked? I really didn't need to see that LMAO.

In the very beginning? He had died and was born again, but we didn't understand that until later.

Personally, I was more disturbed by a guy in a dress who throws a party for paper cut-outs. And I loved how Nixon was right next to Hitler!

Ya he may have died and was born again, but we don't need a full frontal haha, he could have still had the sheets on. And then again when he gets up and walks toward the bathroom, they could have done the camera shot from behind instead of the side!

LOL, I thought his paper cut-out party was awesome... hilarious.

It was an artsy fartsy thing.

When a lesser known movie starts with a scene like that it always puts me on guard, but in this case I thought it worked. He was like a naked babe lost in the woods. But I'm with you; I wish they would stick with female nudity.
