The Omega Man 1971 Charlton Heston

[Tom from the Top]

I have only seen this film once and am going to watch it again some time this week.

But its quite a good film.
If you like I am Legend then you should like this one to.

Excellent movie - I have it on Bluray but I think this should be in the Movies section

 

[ZeloDude96]

To be honest, you should all just cut to the chase and read Matheson's "I Am Legend". It's one of my favourite books ever, and they've never quite got it right movie-wise.

Always wanted the leather jacket with the upraised middle finger patch

Have you ever watched Soylent Green or the original Planet of the Apes also with Charlton Heston?

Has anyone seen 'The Last Man on Earth' with Vincent Price in the star role? First adaptation of the book essentially, from the mid-60s. As I recall it was spaghetti-sci-fi and not all that good. There was another version released after I am Legend called I am Omega, but I never saw that.

Out of the three I've seen, I prefer the Omega Man, just because it's more tense. I am Legend was good, but as always, Will Smith tried a bit too hard to not be Will Smith, if that makes any sense.

Not Soylent Green but seen Planet of the Apes many many times.

Well, fmradiotuner1, if you like his other stuff you should also like that film. lt's sometimes used as a late night time-filler but it's only

Excellent book. Far better than any of the movie adaptations.

 

[Hershey K]

Omega man is far better to I am legend... it's much darker... & has Chuck Heston who towers over smith.

 

[Miss Muffet]

If only one of the adaptations actually used the ending from the book, rather than the 'Hollywood' endings they seem to insist upon.

"The Last Man on Earth" follows the book reasonably closely.
"The Omega Man" is damaged by becoming an action movie halfway through and "I Am Legend" should've been called "Invasion of the Point Missers".

Last Man on Earth is an amazing movie and is not copyrighted. Many places you can view the film online for free.

 

[dried out hair girl]

I have a R1 dvd double bill of The Last Man on Earth coupled with Panic In The Year Zero.

It's on the Fox Midnite Movies label

Omega Man is a decent film for it's time but they've still yet to make a truly great film of the I Am Legend novel. The book is a complete masterpiece.

 

[STEVEN F]

So how does the book end? I like the ending of Omega Man but hate the ending of I Am Legend.

The book enRAB with the main character

about to be 'publicly' executed by the vampires but commits suicide instead.

There was a fairly close adaptation of the novel broadcast on Radio 7 in December 2007 which was repeated last year
