Grittier than I'd expected, but thin like a TV episode stretched. I do approve of the chosen death model.

Soylent Green is heartbreaking in its depiction of dystopia. I considered it to be close to Planet of the Apes in quality; a fantastic story and film that had to find ways to work around its limitations. The weakest moments are due to Heston's hammy acting and weak fight choreography -- but it's about average for the era. Despite Heston's limitations as an actor, he sure knows how to scream a memorable ending line. This is Robinson's last fill, and knowing that, his death scene hits much harder.

It is too bad the ending of this classic dystopian story is so well known, as I’m sure it packed quite a punch in its day. Fleischer’s view of the future is a hot and hazy one, with police dressed like train conductors and prostitutes playing a very large role in society (or at least in this film's runtime).

Kind of a slog to sit through. I love a good bleak dystopia movie, but Soylent Green is both unpleasant to think about and unpleasant to look at. That gross green filter on all the exterior shots just makes it look like your screen is fucked up or someone dropped the film stock in radioactive waste or something. Where I will give this movie credit is in its famous third act. The slow-burn reveal of the twist ending is played perfectly, and I did get choked up at the suicide booth scene.

It is... a movie. A dystopian sci-fi classic with a twist everyone knows, which is itself telling of its influence.

Cool premise, but unfortunately the execution looks like a 70s crime drama set in a future imagined in the 70s.
