Soylent Green

Soylent Green is a famous science-fiction film starring Charlton Heston, and is actually based on a Harry Harrison. Although perhaps not as recognizable as some other science-fiction writers of the recent past or present tense, he has made significant contributions as a science-fiction writer. Soylent Green is a possible future in an overpopulated world that has suffered from ecological abuse, resulting in famine as natural resources begin to die out.

What I liked about the movie is that it has an interesting plot and an interesting idea. The acting is not particularly good, although Heston seemed less amateurish in this film than some of his earlier ones. Sol Roth, played by Edward G. Robinson, does give a nice performance though. That's probably not surprising given that he had been in dozens and dozens of films before then.
