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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Omega Man.Nice to see an old favorite from my youth, the DVD played well on my X-box, but had bad audio problems on my new DVD player. Bought it used, the disk was in good shape visually, but the cover looked like the previous owners were mad as it had some broken parts. I could see getting another updated copie later. Rating:  - Ignorance isn't bliss...This is an excellent film of the apocalyptic genre; made even better by its transfer to BluRay. Heston is, as always, the consummate hero figure. However, I'm amazed at the ignorance of so many reviewers who are so out of step with the quantum leap in technology, that they are totally unaware of the necessity to have a BluRay player to play BluRay movies. Hello! what is wrong with you people? Rating: - Free ZoneCe Blu ray est Free Zone ... J'ai une PS3 Europe 40G. Francais anglais et sous-titres Mono de très bonne facture. Rating: - One of my favorite "Post Apocalyptic" films of the 70'sCharlton Heston at his best. Suave, 70's cool, with a little Black Power tossed in for good measure. This film is totally 70's with a great retelling of the 1950's "Last Man on Earth." If you saw and liked "I am Legend," it was a remake of this film. Rating: - Omega Man HDI haven't had a chance to view it because you can only play it on Blu-ray, which I don't have and didn't know I needed. The details for the product need to be clearer because that was no where in the listing. |
