A nightmarish futuristic fantasy about the controlling power of big corporations and an innocent cop who stumbles on the truth. IT'S THE YEAR 2022... PEOPLE ARE STILL THE SAME. THEY'LL DO ANYTHING TO GET WHAT THEY NEED. AND THEY NEED SOYLENT GREEN. Across a forty-year career, Richard Fleischer directed classic movies in almost every decade he was working: from the epic swashbuckling of The Vikings, to the psychological chills of 10 Rillington Place... and, of course, Soylent Green: a dystopian science-fiction thriller with a venomous sting in its tail. In a frighteningly prescient world of overpopulation and ecological collapse, resources are scarce. While the elite live in spacious, walled-off communities eating natural food and drinking clean water, the masses live in squalor, collecting water from communal taps and eating highly processed food wafers made by the Soylent Corporation. Soylent Red and Soylent Yellow are a staple, but now there's a tastier and more nutritious option: Soylent Green. When a member of the Soylent Corporation's board is murdered, Detective Robert Thorn (Charlton Heston, Ben Hur) is called in to investigate. His search for answers will lead to a shocking discovery. The final entry in a trilogy of dystopian sci-fi classics starring Charlton Heston - following Planet of the Apes and The Omega Man - Soylent Green is a devastating vision of humanity on the brink, once seen, never forgotten.

Talk about Soylent Green 07/26 with the 3BR community.
This is a good dystopian movie from the 70's. It is well acted and an enjoyable watch. I only gave it 3 stars as it felt dated and I think there are better dystopian movies. While the big reveal must have been more socking in the 70's than it is now, I already knew what is was as it has become a cultural reference, so admittedly that aspect was lost on me and I watched the whole film already knowing where it was going. If you have not seen it it is a good watch. If you do not know what Soyl...
This classic 70s dystopian sci-fi still holds up, great performances and brilliant set design. This features an impeccable Arrow restoration to improve upon this classic.
