Product Description
Soylent Green is landmark screen science-fiction, a riveting entertainment and a cautionary tale that holds a mirror to a tomorrow rife with ecological disaster. Working well again in the futuristic genre following Planet of the Apes and The Omega Man, action titan Charlton Heston portrays Thorn, a detective prowling the dank streets of a polluted, overpopulated Big Apple gone rotten in 2022. He’s trailing a murderer – and the trail leads to a stunning discovery. Vividly realized, Soylent Green's world gains its power not just from its special effects but from its heart – a human dimension magnified by the performance of legendary Edward G. Robinson in his moving screen farewell.

Special Features
  • Commentary by Charlton Heston and Leigh Taylor-Young
  • 2 Vintage Featurettes: A Look at the World of Soylent Green and MGM’s Tribute to Edward G. Robinson’s 101st Film
  • Theatrical Trailer

Curious if there is anything new about this specific DVD edition. IMO, this is a very important & prophetic film. Other than the cannibalism, this will likely be earth is less than 50 years.

It certainly is ripe for a remake.

You're probably right, but i think it's almost sacrilege to mess with Edward G Robinson, one of the greatest ever, imo,

Very cool movie. Completely feel in love with Leigh Taylor-Young from Peter Sellers movie "I Love you, Alice B Toklas". :heart:

I somehow never saw this movie until a few years ago. By then I was well aware of the surprise ending, but I loved it anyway. Heston was The Man when it came to big sci-fi movies in the early 70s.

I bought the Blu-ray as this is one of my favorite Sci Fi movies ever. Really left an impression when i saw it as a kid.
