Product Description

Amazon.ca

Science fiction took a grim turn in the 1970s--the heyday of Agent Orange, nuclear peril, and Watergate. Suddenly, most of our possible futures took on a "last man on Earth" flavor, with The Omega Man topping the doom-struck heap.

Charlton Heston plays the government researcher behind the ultimate biological weapon, a deadly plague that has ravaged humanity. There are two groups of survivors: a dwindling band of immune humans and an infected, psychopathic mob of light-hating quasi-vampires. The infected are led by Mathias, a clever, charismatic man set on destroying the last remnants of the civilization that produced the plague. Heston has a vaccine--but he and the few remaining normals are outnumbered and outgunned. By day, he builds a makeshift version of the nuclear family (with Rosalind Cash as his afro-wearing, gun-toting little lady). They plan for the future while roaming freely through an empty urban landscape, taking what few pleasures life has left. By night, they defend themselves against the growing horde of plague victims. Both a bittersweet romance and a gothic cautionary tale, The Omega Man paints a convincing portrait of hope and despair. It ain't pretty, but it's a great movie. --Grant Balfour

5.0 out of 5 stars Eat or be Eaten! Dec 30 2007
By Escape Artist
Format:DVD
This movie is one of the best in this genre. I imagine that the newest addition to the group, "I Am Legend," will outdo it in terms of special effects, but this is the original for me.

I watched "Omega Man" many years ago on TV and it was great! I'm quite the lover of horror and thriller-type movies. This pushed both buttons for me.

Before you go and see "I Am Legend," take a moment to view "Omega Man!" It's well worth it.

3.0 out of 5 stars A walk down memory lane Mar 13 2011
By Rene R. Lavigne
I hadn't seen this movie in about thirty years but I had vague, fond memories. As long as you make allowances for movie making standards of the day, this is a fun stroll down memory lane. I had forgotten that the villains were simply sick and diseased plague survivors. I remembered them as some kind of slow moving zombies for some reason. They are actually members of an anti-technology cult.

Omega Man is one of many movies of the era that casts a pessimistic light on technology and the advances of 20th century civilization. It is nothing like the book ("I am Legend"; Richard Matheson); no vampires here.

It actually makes me appreciate the new Will Smith movie a bit more.

Although intended as an alegory about conflict between rationality and mysticism, it seemed a little hokey to me for years. Read more

A very depressing look at the future, but it does what it's supposed to do, create a bleak future by painting it full of nihilistic color. Read more
