Review of The Omega Man (1971) by Danny P — 27 Aug 2011
A jive-talking leading lady out of a blaxploitation film and fatuous mutants in monk robes are among the most blighting of Omega Man's failures. Heston is his usual stoic, gravelly self but the atmosphere has been leached of its isolation and the pasty white makeup gives all the mutants a case of powdery vitiligo.
A high-scope rifle with a massive infrared eyepiece is truly impressive hardware, but the mutants are silly-costumed freaks that never pose a threat.
