The somewhat plausible and proximate horrors in the story of Soylent Green carry the production over its awkward spots to the status of a good futuristic exploitation film.
Uneven and slightly muddled futuristic horror story -- not really science fiction, more like an antipollution PSA gone berserk.
Their 21st-century New York occasionally is frightening but it is rarely convincingly real.
Not well thought-out and a genuine disappointment for all its visibility in the popular conversation
Where so many science fiction visions of the era have dated, this gritty creation of a depressed (and depressing) future... looks all the more real.
...viewed today, Heston's sci-fi flicks seem dated and square. (Blu-ray Edition)
...a movie based on an ending. And if you can't figure out that ending ten minutes into the movie, you aren't paying attention.
The film was a typical seventies sci-fi effort, scientifically illiterate and unimaginatively composed.
A sluggishly directed look at life and death in the 21st century.
Good, solid stuff, assembled efficiently enough to be pretty persuasive.
This futuristic thriller just seems to keep getting better with age. An entertaining sci-fi flick done before special effects took over the genre.
The future never looked as retro...
still contains enough pleasures even with the 'secret' so well known
