Omega Man April 7, 2008

Great movie better than the 1st version and way better than Will Smith's 2008 version.
 Why Can't They Stay True to the Book? March 21, 2008
2 out of 10 found this review helpful
It astounds me every time I see a movie based on a classic and very popular book that completely changes the storyline and characters and makes it into nothing more then a cheap imitation. The Omega Man is one such film. Based on a book of great influence by Richard Matheson, I Am Legend, the only true similarity between the book and this film is the fact that the ghouls, or "the family," can only come out at night; after that the similarities end. br /br /The film starts out with our hero, Neville, driving down the streets of an abandoned city in his bright red convertible, dodging stalled cars and overturned trashcans. The empty are very early and manage to set up the apocalyptic feel very early on. For the time it was made the abandoned street scenes during the day were actually quite good. The problems with this film start once night falls and Neville is caught outside in the dark as the "zombies" started to come out. he gets into a few fire fights with the ghouls, and then goes inside as if staying out after dark weren't such a big deal. br /br /the biggest disappointment I found with this extremely silly film were the ghouls themselves, if you can call them that. In the book they were real vampires who sucked blood, were repelled by garlic and crosses, burned to death almost instantly in sunlight, and needed to be killed with a stake as opposed to a gun. The vampires in this film have absolutely no vampire qualities, except the hatred for sunlight. Think of them like the borg from Star Trek who share a common mind, live as a family, and like to go around killing people. These vampires are the silliest movie monsters I have ever seen in my life. They where black robes and sunglasses, play with fire, and (I kid you not) build catapults and fire rocks at Neville's house. They aren't mindless blood thirsty vampire creatures like in the book, their just a bunch of emo goths who don't like technology. sunlight doesn't even do them much harm; in many instances you could see them walking around in bright light with only a slight sensitivity. br /br /This film does just about everything badly, from the script, to the annoying music, to the horrendous acting, nothing goes right. The characters actions will have you scratching your head in confusion and asking "okay, now, why did they just to that?" and no answer will come to mind. This is one of the most incomprehensible and flat out silly films I have ever seen in my entire life. I'm not a fan of the new film I Am Legend (Widescreen Single-Disc Edition) with Will Smith, but given the choice I'd take it any day over The Omega Man.br /
 Mega Omega March 20, 2008
The Good Thingsbr /*Excellent story with thrilling action.br /*Although not particuarly deep, Charlton Hesten's character rocks. He is resourceful and well-prepared. Not to mention, his performance is awesome.br /*The other characters are interesting. Great bad guys.br /*Lots of good photography.br /*Strong theme of self-sacrifice at the end (sorry if I gave it away...).br /br /The Bad Thingsbr /*It's become very dated, and some things from the 1970s are strongly evident (funky music, girls with afros, the clothes, etc).br /*Probably isn't accurate to the original novel.br /*One or two slow parts.br /*How the heck did the one girl suddenly turn into a mutant at the end?!br /br /Despite being an obvious product of the 70s, this film is classy and fun. There is lots of exciting action. Many of the settings and ideas are interesting. It is a satisfying blockbuster-style film all the way through, even with its ending. It may not be as deep or vivid as the latest rendition "I Am Legend," but I consider this one to be more entertaining.
 OLD SCI-FI FLICK March 9, 2008
Omeaga Man is the fore runner of "I am Legend" and for the 70's is a pretty good flick. I saw it in the 70's and wanted to see if it was that good after br /all these years. I enjoyed the film as most SCI-FI folks will

one of the best movies from Charlton Heston / only one word: OUTSTANDING / Mr. Heston's performance during this period and the type of movies made were quality assured. All the cast members deserve to be mention and thank for the JOB WELL DONE / and for the finest performances. I have all his movies (Go! Charlton Heston, GO!!!)
