Charlton Heston is...The Omega Man. In this adaptation of a Richard Matheson novel the world population has been wiped out by chemical warfare, leaving behind a new race of mutants that seek to eradicate the last remnant of humanity; former military scientist Robert Neville. The script is written quite well, and puts a new and interesting spin on the material. And, Heston gives a strong performance that elevates the film. The ‘70s aesthetic can be a bit distracting at times, but it also gives the film a camp and a retro feel that’s kind of fun. The Omega Man is a classic science-fiction film that’s full of action but also explores the social issues of its time.

You know for years I thought I had seen this. I insisted I had seen it, and then I caught it on Netflix, waited for Hoffman, and was sort of shocked. There was no Nazi dentist and I realized I was walking into something totally new.

This is sort of cheap. I think it's supposed to be a dystopian L More
