Soylent Green (Blu-ray)

Soylent Green is landmark screen science-fiction, a riveting entertainment and a cautionary tale that holds a mirror to a tomorrow rife with ecological disaster. Working well again in the futuristic genre following PLANET OF THE APES and THE OMEGA MAN, action titan Charlton Heston portrays Thorn, a detective prowling the dank streets of a polluted, overpopulated Big Apple gone rotten in 2022. He's trailing a murderer and the trail leads to a stunning discovery. Vividly realized, SOYLENT GREEN's world gains it's power not just from it's special effects but from it's heart a human dimension magnified by the performance of legendary Edward G. Robinson in his moving screen farewell.
