it time to pay tribute to the great charton heston after his recent passing but this film be not the one . his other film of a past generation be ben hur and the ten commandents and omega man and planet of the ape be his better work . this film make in 1973 attempt to prophesy a future earth and in 2022 and that be so overpopulated that the human race have be manipulate by authority to eat a universally produce food product call soylent green which be manufacture with human flesh . this bizarre and implausible film be a ridiculous at the time of it release a it be now and assume india population which would be about 2 billion by that stage would be then meat eater without know it . charlton heston character this supers secret international conspiracy that world power have concoct to meet the nutritional demand of overpopulation by use cannibalism . unfortunately for the producer of this film the green message they deliver be not the green party of today ethos thank god . cannibalism be practice by the indigenous population in new zealand and fiji and borneo up until only 40 year before this film be make but have be long abandon by human civilization . another silly prediction in the film be that woman become quasi sex slave turn back the tide of radical feminism which be on the rise in 1972 when this film be make . the film be stupid then and be a silly now but do contain a very unmemorable last film performance by the late and great edward g. robinson but still no a valid reason to revisit the film other than for academic reason . this be a dud of a film and i wouldn not even recommend it to baby boomer or charlton heston fan . all the other review of this film i have read all sound the same refer to a dystopian society in the future of which the centralised theme only seem to involve the usa in which an ecological disaster have occur . the only merit in the film be that earth do face overpopulation .
