Soylent Green DVD

 Another Good Sci-Fi Charlton Heston movie
After "Planet of the Apes" and "Omega Man", Charlton Heston presents us another chaotic future movie; It's worth to see it.

 Another Charlton Heston's Sci-Fi movie
This an interesting future disaster movie(?)with Another Charlton who portraied good performances on "The Planet of the Apes" and "Omega Man". Unfortunately, another sad perspective about our future, see it.

 Glad I finally got it
I saw it almost 30years ago along with THX1138 I purchased. Now that I understand English way better than back then I really enjoyed it. Very pessimistic view, but still well made. Seems classical music is the only thing ever-lasting. I like it.

 Wow. Unbelievable...!
Have a seat before you read this. In the 1960's there was a movement called zero population growth based on scientific projections that by the year 2060, the demand for food and natural resources would far exceed the supply; the world's overpopulation would collapse the earth's ecosystem. This accelerated growth has caused pollution not only to trigger global warming, but also to raise ocean temperatures, combined with pollutants, enough to kill off coral, and systematically, up the food chain, wiping out sealife. Major food shortages. Over population combined with the politics, greed and corruption of money supply and inflation manipulations have bled out the middle class. Massive unemployment and homelessness. Price of fuel gets to be so expensive that people begin using their cars as homes. The only few jobs available are in law enforcement or government. Cities are spilt into two sections; one for the wealthy elitists who no longer share power with others and are now in complete control, and the other section, for the worthless masses. A corporate giant called Soylent has to get creative to mitigate the food shortage issue. The moral of the story is akin to others like Farenheit 451, THX1134, Loagans Run, 1984, Zardoz, and George Orwell's book Animal Farm. Must see. This movie was way ahead of its time and predicts unbelivably "familiar" events happening today. Five stars!
