Entertaining sci-fi but a little too close to self-parody. Heston overracts as usual. There is, though, a good message here for us all.

It's good film, no doubt about it, but that's mostly from it's shock ending. I'd say it's required viewing not for the skill with which the film is made, as it's not particularly impressive in any regard, but simply due to the cultural impact it has had. It's one thing to know that Soylent Green is people but it's another to know exactly how such a phrase came into being.

Great ideas, but it never drew me in. I love the whole /nostalgia for things we take for granted/ thing.

Going down in history as the movie you can't google without getting the punchline shoved in your face.

It is definitely people.

The story is good and I suppose the twist used to be good once but acting, directing and the actual screenplay are all quite ridiculous.

Not very solid piece of filmaking, but Charlton Heston and Edward G. Robison are charismatic on the leading roles and the film is a rare take on subject of overpopulation and it's consequencies. And there is always the famous ending that one can never forget.....

Dystopian sci-fi done the 70s way i.e. looks a bit cheap now. Decently done though although the end looks like they ran out of money and so couldn't do the big explosion ending. Maybe that's on purpose. Extra points for making the Charlton Heston character kind of a dick.

A very well-made movie encumbered by very dull cinematography and laughably outdated fight scenes. Oh and the twist ending has been given away via spoofs and parodies for decades now.

I'm a bit of a sucker for dystopian films that are done well; and the fact that this one doesn't present 2022 (50 years after it was first made) as some hi-tech paradise is its highest praise. The pacing is really good after a sluggish start... Sol's death scene is very memorable, as it the stellar finish that isn't as predictable as many of these films (ie "good" triumphing over "evil.") The fact that we still know little about the "Soylent Company" adds to the charm.

Must see but it has aged.
