DVD Description

In the aftermath of a bacteriological war, the future of mankind hangs in the balance. Only a chosen few have survived the mutating effects of germ warfare unharmed. A small enclave of healthy, stalwart resistors has formed a camp where, for the moment, they live peacefully. The other human survivors are terribly disfigured mutants referred to as the "Family" who walk the earth at night in search of prey. Charlton Heston plays the last man alive in this chilling classic, gathering supplies by day from a deserted Los Angeles whose streets are strewn with the post-apocalyptic flotsam of the super-funky '70s. Based on Richard Matheson's novel I AM LEGEND made before as THE LAST MAN ON EARTH (1964) with Vincent Price.

The I Omega am Man legend . .
Review of The Omega Man DVD by  smudgeybabes

Advantages: Good 70's stuff.
Disadvantages: Slightly dated of course.

...You will be aware of the latest blockbuster movie called I am legend, and may know of a film from years ago, that someone said was similar. Well, the original film was called The Omega Man, and it was based on a book called "I am legend". The story is simple enough, one man (Charlton Heston) is the sole survivor of a germ war that either killed off the worlds entire population, or turned them into killer mutants called "The Family". The modern version starring Will Smith is a copy of this classic, and I must say not a very good copy, considering the Omega Man was 37 years ago, and the art of special effects has improved no end. Personally I actually prefer the original. It was gritty, '70s stuff, with Heston gunning down the baddies like there was no tomorrow. Actually there may not be if he didn't gun them down. Heston...

The Omega Man Returns....... Again
Review of I Am Omega DVD by  sghawken

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Terrible stinker of a movie

...40 years after the original movie The Omega Man and we get I Am Legend, a big glossy movie starring Hollywood A-Lister Will Smith. But then in a blink of an eye up trots I Am Omega right behind it, same basic story with a different twist. I Am Omega is drastically different from both the other movies, where as both were pretty much science fiction or at a push disaster movies. This instalment focuses purely on the horror, making the creepy night creatures from the previous movies super fast zombies. The result this time round is terribly dull and boring, so much so I fell asleep. Mark Dacascos (WHO?) stars as Trenchard, a man who believes he is the last man on earth. He spends his days driving round, avoiding Zombies and having great dreams; the last comment is meant to be sarcastic. One day why flicking around on his laptop... Read review

Review of The Omega Man DVD by  atytyut2434

Advantages: chuck is awesome
Disadvantages: too few extras

...It's Made of People! whoops, sorry - wrong chuck Heston film! This is so dated now it's sheer brilliance. made in the 70's good old Charlton Heston and his Doc Savage chin and chest just rob Chuck in every scene. The film is so silly now it's just a case of watching it without trying to involve your brain in any way at all. Chuck dying at the end of the film I totally forgot about (I told you it contained spoilers!) all the scenes of newscasters and scientists on television stank of romero's "Dead" movies so I can see how the book this was based on inspired him. I thought this film would have been re-cut or included all the cut scenes (like the now infamous woman in crypt on the cutting room floor). It would have been nice to see the context those scenes were in. We got a tiny thing about "making of Omega Man" which was really... Read review
