 Not just a sci-fi movie April 24, 2008
This movie works on a couple of levels. As a post-civilization movie it works just like "I Am Legend," "28 Days," "The Stand," "Night of the Comet" or even "Day of the Triffids." The movie engages us because we get to see a civilization whose "hardware" is still intact, but from which all the people have been removed. It is visually fascinating and creates a sense of bewilderment, and after the movie we turn on lights and are just a little more grateful for friends and family. At that level I give "Omega Man" and "I Am Legend" about the same rating. Note: I will not quibble about which one is truer to the Matheson story--it's a different genre with its own rules of good/bad.br /br /However "Omega" man is a classic case of the director or writer creating a story with a "Christ Figure." Another such movie is "Cool Hand Luke." The next time you watch "Omega" look for the ways that the movie connect Robert Neville with Christ. There is the obvious reference to Christ's saying "I am the Alpha and the Omega." This time around it dawned on me that Caesar is put in the story as a connection. Unlike the other Robert Nevilles (played by Will Smith and Vincent Price) Charleton Heston's is a single man with no children. There is the obvious notion of being saved by his blood, and the posture of crucifiction at the end with the spear in the heart and the water mixed with blood in the fountain. Have fun watching it at this level--there is alot there.
The Greatest Scifi Movie Ever Made! April 22, 2008
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is the only review of the "Omega Man" you ever need to read.Yes I am Legend has gained alot of attention in the past 6 months or so but Will Smith can not compare to the super cool Charlton Heston as Robert Neville.The action and pace of this movie is beyond belief.The music(Ron Grainer)is up there with the greatest soundtracks ever put on to film. Scenes to watch for,Neville playing chess as "the family hurls a fireball thru the window Heston politly excuses himself pics up the ifrared and snipes out a few of the family,as he returns to the table he calmly wipes his hands hardly being fazed by the event and says "you move"? The begining of the film is just too cool.About a minute or two into it Neville just cruises L.A. while a "Summers Place" plays on his 8track and as you just start to relax the car comes to a screaching hault and Neville whips out the sterling and blast away at one of the family in a upper window now you know what your in store for.Ive been wanting to remake the Omega man since the early eighties and well its too bad I am Legend fell short of what could of been a action packed once in a life time movie.Can we ever forget the haunting words Mr.Heston always spoke in all his scifi films "Oh my God"?See this movie and Im sure you will also like it better then IAL.You just cant beat Charlton Heston in this film.I will miss him for there will never be another in his class.Hollywood should learn alot from this man but instead they knock him put him down just minutes after he passed.Sad really very pathetic.Enjoy this fim for It is a classic that will live on forever.Cory Wong.

Great quality CD. Heston at his finest. My 12 YO was entertained by this movie as I was at his age although I had to go to a drive in to see it originally.
omega man still the best April 19, 2008
I feel that the omega man is a lot better than i am legend. the omega man was more realistic as far as the mutants go.
Fantastically entertaining reimagining of "I Am Legend" April 7, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Forget the new one with Will Smith, my favorite adaptation of Richard Matheson's seminal novella "I Am Legend" is this one. There is plenty of cheesy camp on display - particularly the dated score - but the movie remains exciting, thoughtful, and entertaining.br /br /The late, great Charlton Heston is outstanding as Robert Neville, living in the post-germ-warfare wasteland that the world has become. br /br /The movie is a fairly drastic reworking of the Matheson book, but in one very significant way it is much more faithful than the new "I Am Legend": the infected have established their own separate society, which they believe to be more valid than the "normal" Neville. The new version loses this entirely by turning the infected population into mindless zombies. "The Omega Man" retains this thematic element, and is all the better for it.br /br /
