Soylent Green is landmark science fiction film, a cautionary tale that holds a mirror to a tomorrow rife with ecological disaster. Action titan Charlton Heston portrays Thom, 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 realised, 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. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)

The point is just fantastic, as long as you don't read it before watching the movie. Definitely don't make that mistake, because that would be a shame. It’s an excellent detective story that has elements of both comedy and thriller. The society presented here is pretty scary, but it's not something that would be hard to imagine in real life. And that's why it has quite a strong statement.
