 Story characters not just special effects October 26, 2008
It does show its age, but it has characters, personalities not just special effects. There is an explaination of how the situation arose and why he survived. There is also some imagery, annalogies about the situation and the omerga man.
The music is ok but dated.
The main point is that it shows you what film making was about till mindlessness and profit took over. Yes you actually have something to think about. God forbid!
I could say a lot more, but I'll leave it at that. See it and think. Naturally Charlton Heston does a brillant job. A more fitting age, fit and an action character not super human type thanks to special effects. Don't get me wrong love S.E. but used to tell the story not be in substitute of it.
 A Fantastic Classic September 8, 2008

If you own "I Am Legend" with Will Smith, get this one. They are both based on the same original story, but instead of mutes that barely resemble humans, the plague victims not only speak but form a society of their own based on a post-apocolyptic philosophy. The leader of the this group functions as a antagonist to Charlton Heston's character, making for a much more satisfying and exciting story. Heston's love interest (the lady he tries to cure) also has a younger brother, and the two siblings both figure prominently in the relationship between the good and evil sides. This Christian metaphor runs through the film, including symbolism with light, dark, fire, and blood. Sure beats the Hell out of one loyal doggie.
The original "I Am Legend". August 17, 2008

This original version is slightly different in details but both "Omega Man" and "I Am Legend" follow almost exactly the same story line down to the names of the characters.
Another Chuckston foray into Sci-Fi land August 4, 2008
Made with a bigger budget and based on the same Richard Matheson novel as the Vincent Price film THE LAST MAN ON EARTH, THE OMEGA MAN eschews the original vampire concept in exchange for germ warefare zombies with really bad skin and white hair to match. Besides Chuck the cast includes Rosalind Cash, Paul Koslo and Anthony Zerbe. Heston acquits himself well. The ending is probably one of the more controversial of the 1970's. Weirdly enough, the recent Will Smith outing is based less on the Matheson novel than the Carrington script from OMEGA MAN. Figure that one.
The 1st I am Legend July 2, 2008
Interesting Movie
Since I did not read the book, I am not sure if this version or the I am Legend version is true to the actual book.
