| Pros |
It was black and white, more eeerie. More real, natural. |
| Cons |
Harboring on realism if we become more out of control |
| Bottom Line |
A thinker movie with bitter consequences when you sink your teeth into it . . . |

| Pros |
Along the lines of "Roller Ball" with its interesting, but depressing feel. |
| Cons |
Recycling gone WRONG. |
| Bottom Line |
It's a classic with one of the most quoted movie lines ever. |

| Pros |
Fascinating and prescient premise, acting by Heston and Robinson. |
| Cons |
Slightly dated, less than stellar effects. |
| Bottom Line |
Always eat your greens. |

| Pros |
Another solid Heston performance; Richard Fleischer's direction; Robinson's last role; timely message |
| Cons |
Will undoubtedly seem dated to some |
| Bottom Line |
Though admittedly dated in some aspects, SOYLENT GREEN remains timely (and portentous) in many others |
