heston pass away the day before i sit watch this film for the first time for 25 year . heston be the ultimate definition of giant mega star presence and a master of line delivery that seem to emanate from his chest . though he have play biblical hero to iconic effect and i feel that he excel most a the arrogant and stubborn hero or anti hero . this be such a role and be a tour de force for this giant of an actor . although set in an apocalyptic future and this movie have everything 70 stamp all over it ( make in 1971 ) include some laughable jive talk from heston come on and baby but all the good for it a this be the decade of heighten paranoia and rebellion and cult faction . this film capture all those element despite it apocalyptic setting . there be moment of excitement but it be ultimately a rivet one man show which only an actor of heston calibre can pull off . i be sure tom hank terrific performance in castaway be influence by this . the film narrative be smartly do with the use of flashback and a captivating storyline make this highly enjoyable .
