Soylent is a message to the old and the young, though you will see little of either in the cast. It's been called a whole movie leading up to its final punchline, which is sort of true (same can be said for Apes), but so what. This is the oldest move in which I heard the term `global warming' referenced. I hadn't seen this for years but it holds up well in most departments. And yes, in case you were wondering, he knew he was going to die, as did his friend, Charlton Heston.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 22, 2018

Heston is, of course, his usual over-wrought over-earnest self, but for the purposes of this film he is well cast. Es ist der Polizist Thorn, der mit der Wahrheit über die Soylent Company konfrontiert wird.„Soylent Green“ ist die realistische Version einer überbevölkerten Welt. The other Science Fiction film I like is Westworld which stars actor James Brolin and Yul Brynner who starred in the 1960 Western hit The Magnificent Seven. Solid, well acted sci-fi with an environmental warning Mio. Please try againSorry, we failed to record your vote.
Does it foretell the future - I sincerely hope not! Consequently this film is probably more relevent today than it was when it was released (1972) and even the chilling resolution to rioters and protesters rings true today. Please try againSorry, we failed to record your vote.
Finally saw this for the first time, and it wasn't at all what I expected.

Als ein Manager ermordet wird, findet Thorn mit Hilfe von dessen Geliebter Shirl, die auch seine Geliebte wird, Hinweise auf die Nahrung und wird von allen Seiten behindert.
The shock value was, of course, something to remember!
Clearly our future NRA leader had a period of liberalized "mankind/corporations are bad" apocalyptic theme films and this movie represents that narrative. The movie attempted to portray degenerate sociological conditions having resulted from disastrous, human-instigated ecological events culminating in the year 2022.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 24, 2019
He starred in other great films such as Planet Of The Apes the 1968 original and made a cameo appearance in the 2001 remake. A must-see not just for Heston fans, has a spooky relevance for these times and should be rediscovered asap.Robinson's last appearance on film as supporting cast to Charlton Heston (and what a fantastic swan-song it is) Regie führte Tony …
Of Chuck H's sci-fi trifecta -- this one, Apes, Omega -- this one might be the best.

This classic film was first released over 40 years ago. Granted, the movie is typical for a 70's movie....low-budget and acting style abhorrent...but still there is the message carried within. Ignoring the rather dated technology (heck they didn't even have mobile phones when this was made) notice how the characters are forced to live, how the big corporations run everything and most importantly, how the rich fence themselves off from the poor struggling masses. The answer is Soylent Green. Good to see it again with a particularly sympathetic role played by Edward G. Hopefully, not a warning for the future!
Dieser Film aus dem Jahr 1973 führt in eine sterbende Welt, ins New York des Jahres 2022 – in eine aus allen Fugen geratene Megastadt mit 44. Please try againSorry, we failed to record your vote. The acting by Charlton Heston and Edward G Robinson is superb, for what appears to be, a low-budget film.
This is the year 2022. Will our planet go the same route?
I also like Charlton Heston. Has it already?
Thorn entdeckt, als er dem Transportweg der Leiche folgt, das große Geheimnis hinter Soylent Green.
I like Science Fiction movies. Make Room!
The man has been executed to prevent him from revealng the truth about Soylent Green; which we eventually discover is made from humans (the ultimate in recycling).
Memorable for all sorts of reasons, but not least for Edward G. Robinson's last appearance on film as supporting cast to Charlton Heston (and what a fantastic swan-song it is). In this film near-naked women slink around draping themselves over angry, impatient men and are regarded as a form of relaxation and entertainment - having no more function than a piece of furniture - to be passed on to the next elite tenant who gets the luxury podule apartment. Chuck's not bad here.
In a very touching scene, towards the end of the film, Robinson's character submits himself for voluntary euthanasia.
