Movie Reviews of The Omega Man
Movie Review: Charles Manson goes to Woodstock
Summary: 3 Stars
I wasn't particularly impressed despite the fact that I always enjoy Charleton Heston. The Director/Producers of this film seem to have been interested in producing something of a hippie movie, therefore the movie looks dated, indeed.
Heston, who suspects he is the last bona fide human on earth doesn't fit the hippie image, of course, but he does spend time watching reruns of the movie 'Woodstock'. His adversaries are the albinoid, diseased survivors of an epidemic that has destroyed civilization. They are religiously fundamentalist--against the 'machine'--and are zombioid and lethal. They are led by the Manson-like Mathias, who refers to his flock--again Manson-like--as 'The Family.'
Well, it turns out the Heston isn't the only one left. There is a handful of surviviors who bear all the appearances of members of a hippie commune. Heston's love interest is a black woman who looks amazingly just like the 60s-70s radical Angela Davis. Alas, it isn't to be. Angela turns into a zombie; Heston is speared by Mathias and the hippies go off to never-never land.
Ron Braithwaite author of novels--'Skull Rack' and 'Hummingbird God'--on the Spanish Conquest of Mexico
Summary of The Omega Man
Welcome to the future. Biological war has decimated life on Earth. Los Angeles is a windswept ghost town where Robert Neville tools his convertible through sunlit streets foraging for supplies. And makes damn sure he gets undercover before sundown, when other "inhabitants" emerge. The Omega Man adapts Richard Matheson's novel I Am Legend into a high-impact, high-tension saga of a fate not far removed from reality. Charlton Heston is Neville, fending off attacks by The Family, sinister neopeople spawned by the plague. He also becomes a man with a mission after meeting Lisa (Rosalind Cash), another unifected survivor - and guardian of some healthy children representing our species' hope.
