Review of The Omega Man (1971) by Suzanne R — 13 Jul 2010

I think I've certainly warmed up to this over time, it's a lot more intelligent than it gets credit for. Sure, on the surface it's just another chance for Charlton Heston to show off his crazy gun collection and laugh maniacally for no reason.

However, there's really something interesting about evolution going on and resistance to change. Some of the visuals really do hold up, even today, mainly because they don't try to be overly ambitious.

Some of the city shots really are pretty shocking.
