In 2022, Earth is overpopulated and totally polluted; the natural resources have been exhausted and the nourishment of the population is provided by Soylent Industries, a company that makes a food consisting of plankton from the oceans. In New York City, when Soylent's member of the board William R. Simonson is murdered apparently by a burglar at the Chelsea Towers West where he lives, efficient Detective Thorn is assigned to investigate the case with his partner Solomon "Sol" Roth. Thorn comes to the fancy apartment and meets Simonson's bodyguard Tab Fielding and the "furniture" (woman that is rented together with the flat) Shirl and the detective concludes that the executive was not victim of burglary but executed. Further, he finds that the Governor Santini and other powerful men want to disrupt and end Thorn's investigation. But Thorn continues his work and discovers a bizarre and disturbing secret of the ingredient used to manufacture Soylent Green.
Leave your thoughts about Soylent Green.
| Chicago ReaderDon DrukerUneven and slightly muddled futuristic horror story—not really science fiction, more like an antipollution PSA gone berserk. |
| Rolling StoneBilge EbiriThe overall tone is one of melancholy rather than sci-fi wonder, and the film's cynicism is hard to shake. |
| EmpireIan NathanA resonant film which has a speudo-cult status as everyone has seen it late one night on TV and it's never left them. |
| Sci-Fi Movie PageJames O'EhleyClassic science fiction that is well-worth seeing. |
| Film ThreatRyan CracknellA thought-provoking movie that is still relevant with the many environmental concerns that are out there now. |
| The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsThough the mystery has been spoiled somewhat by an over-revealed twist ending, Soylent Green still succeeds thanks to director Richard Fleischer's sure command of one of the grimmest and most sadly plausible dystopias put to film. |
| The Hollywood ReporterAlan R. HowardConjures up a terrifying vision of the future that is made all the more urgent by today's inflationary food prices and fast approaching energy crisis. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA good, solid science-fiction movie, and a little more. |
| Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyRichard Fleischer’s dystopian thriller set in an overpopulated, famine-stricken 2022 New York is a wonderfully silly slice of future schlock, featuring some of Heston’s zestiest overacting. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsShane BurridgeIt's a rare film that makes death a pleasant and more preferable alternative than living |
