Reviews for Soylent Green
A doozy.
10/05/03
Uneven and slightly muddled futuristic horror story -- not really science fiction, more like an antipollution PSA gone berserk.
06/05/07
...viewed today, Heston's sci-fi flicks seem dated and square. (TCM Greatest Classic Films: Sci-Fi)

This futuristic thriller just seems to keep getting better with age. An entertaining sci-fi flick done before special effects took over the genre.
10/10/05
A thought-provoking movie that is still relevant with the many environmental concerns that are out there now.
08/01/02
It's quite an amusing movie.
08/10/03
It would have made a great episode of The Twilight Zone, but feature length is too much for its premise.
01/11/03
A stoic Heston, a nice turn for Robinson, and see-through ironies.
04/02/03
Their 21st-century New York occasionally is frightening but it is rarely convincingly real.
05/09/05
still contains enough pleasures even with the 'secret' so well known
08/30/03
Modestly entertaining.
05/09/06
The SNL skits are better
08/02/03
It's a rare film that makes death a pleasant and more preferable alternative than living
01/01/00
As a science fiction film that relies more on viewers' intelligence than special effects, it represents something that is sorely missed in today's Hollywood.
