The Omega Man
This story tells about an experimental vaccine that caused more strange events. It seems that Dr. Robert Neville is the only survivor of the end-of-the-world war he fought with biological weapons. During that period, the plague caused by the war killed anyone other than a few hundred deformed people who call themselves the 'family'. But on the other side of the day, he wanders around the empty city, and at night he resists crowds of bloodthirsty pushers dressed in checkers and exotic glasses.

A breezy film about the death of mankind in a way that only the '70s could have provided.

Another misfired adaptation of Richard Matheson's fine science fiction novel I Am Legend.

Despite being baked in early '70s cheese, The Omega Man is easily the most entertaining film version of Richard Matheson's sci-fi novel, I Am Legend

Despite not having aged particularly well, the opening sections of this sci-fi allegory remain potent, although the rest of its apocalyptic storyline is decidedly leaden.

Peppered with some sharp, even amusing dialogue, the story temporarily shelves the heavy allegory and slips into good, slam-bang suspense. But it doesn't last.

Sadly another film to file under 'not as good as the book.'

The ghouls are a little too ridiculous to quite fulfill their function in the movie. They make all the wrong decisions, are incompetent and ill-coordinated.

An extremely literate science-fiction drama.

...not an awful film, just a remarkably dull one.

Averagely competent exercise in comic strip sci-fi.

Unsatisfying sci-fi thriller, though it's not Charlton Heston's fault
December 10, 2007
Not bad, but far from a classic.
