Movie Reviews of The Omega Man
Movie Review: Charlton Heston was the ultimate Robert Neville
Summary: 5 Stars
We owe Charlton Heston a great debt for helping science fiction along the path of maturity by providing us with the brilliantly portrayed Robert Neville. This is Heston's typically gifted work, and the movie to me never gets old. The casting was superb. (The latest remake, "I am Legend," with Will Smith was a horror film only in the sense that it made me wince to watch it. I love Will Smith, but casting him as a brilliant scientist was a huge stretch. He was simply too young to be an MD with research experience and a colonel in the army as well.) Heston, in this film, is the quintessential man who never gives up. He imbues his character with admirable qualities in the way only a great actor could. You just have to find yourself pulling for Neville as he struggles on and on, refusing to roll over and surrender. I find the film dated only in that Neville in The Omega Man was not a victim, he was a traditional hero. As Heston/Neville remarked in the film, as his character watched a generator-powered endless re-run of an old film, "They sure don't make movies like that anymore."

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.
