The Omega Man
Charlton Heston plays Earth's last survivor but this one's without the Apes.
Plot
Finding himself the last known human on Earth, Charlton Heston explores a gutted Los Angeles during the day but at night concentrates on not becoming a midnight snack for the mutants roaming the city.
Verdict
Now with added mutants, the Omega Man has changed somewhat in its transition to the big screen, but it's not the plot that disappoints, it's the poor dialogue between action sequences. Sadly another film to file under 'not as good as the book.'
