Yolanda I really love this movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/25 Full Review Audience Member I like this movie; however, it didn't show us the full picture at the end. It would be nice if they let us see more. The film’s final moments are powerful, with the shocking revelation about Soylent Green leaving viewers in disbelief, but also wanting more closure about what happens next in this dystopian world. The story builds a chilling atmosphere of overpopulation, environmental collapse, and corporate secrecy, culminating in a horrifying discovery about the true nature of the food supply. Yet, after the dramatic outcry, the film ends abruptly, offering no resolution for the characters or society. We never see the aftermath: How does the public react? Does the truth change anything, or is it suppressed? The film’s ambiguity is haunting, but I wish it had explored the consequences of this revelation further, showing us whether the protagonist’s sacrifice made a difference or if the world remained unchanged.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/10/25 Full Review james r This film was not what I expected. Like most people who watched this decades later I knew the end, but what really surprised me was how slow the plot was and how little we got to feel the world they lived in. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review Audience Member While this was filmed in the 1970's- this tale of a dark dystopian future where you are what you eat as some people would reference it- takes hold through great story telling and provides a look into a future we would want to avoid. As this was Edward G. Robinson's last film or his "farewell" film- he gives a phenomenal performance as Sol Roth- who is devastated by finding out what the secret of Soylent Green is and decides to end his time on Earth- while Thorn- played by legendary actor Charlton Heston- must find out what the secret is so that he can solve the case he is on and put a stop to what Soylent Green is. Also starring Leigh Taylor-Young, Chuck Connors, Jospeh Cotton, Paula Kelly, Brock Peters and others in a supporting cast- this movie- even for the year it was filmed- 1973- is a phenomenal classic sci-fi film with a warning- don't ever let our planet get to this point. 5/5 stars and this will be worth the time to watch it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/19/25 Full Review Daniel C. M A extremely disturbing, bleak, and misanthropic yet heartwarming at times mix between sci-fi, neo-noir, thriller and a little of action. Absolutly amazing performance by Edward as Solomon, which was one of the most effective performances of that year, and it's a shame it didn't nominated for an Academy Award. Very nice and intringuing story with a few engaging subplots and nice action every now and then. It's horror is extremely effective and chilling, bound to make you...well, horrified.
