Why I love The Omega Man
I'm obsessed with The Omega Man, and I'm not sure I've even had Nikki watch it yet - I will for sure, for me, it's a must-see. The second half has some issues with score choices and pacing, but the first half is insanely good. I remember watching it as a sick teenager, lying on the couch with crackers and ice chips, and being blown away by the premise.
So many films/series have been influenced by The Omega Man:
1. I Am Legend (2007) - The Will Smith remake that directly adapted the novel.
2. The Walking Dead (TV series) - The post-apocalyptic setting and themes of survival are reminiscent of The Omega Man.
3. 28 Days Later (2002) - The fast-moving infected and deserted cityscapes share similarities with The Omega Man's portrayal of a world overrun by the infected.
4. Resident Evil (2002) - The sci-fi horror elements and fight for survival against overwhelming odds are similar to The Omega Man.
5. The Book of Eli (2010) - The post-apocalyptic world and themes of survival, protection, and the importance of knowledge are all nods to The Omega Man.
Can you think of other series/movies that were influenced by OMEGA MAN?
It’s a… well… bizarre, quirky — Classic for sure!
Charlton Heston's performance is spot on and man - I had such a HUGE crush on Rosalind Cash… HUGE lol - they both make it a must-watch for cinephiles. Despite its cheesy moments, the film's influence can be seen in many works, and it continues to inspire stories today.
Give it a watch, and enjoy the ride!
Summary of The Omega Man
The Omega Man is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi film based on Richard Matheson's novel I Am Legend. The story follows Robert Neville, who finds himself the last hope for humanity after a biological war wipes out most of the world's population. Neville must fight against a cult of mutants, led by the charismatic Jonathan Matthias, who seek to destroy him and everything he represents.
Two interesting facts about this grand fan favorite:
1. The Omega Man was the second adaptation of Matheson's novel, following The Last Man on Earth in 1964. A third adaptation, I Am Legend, was released in 2007.
2. The film's director, Boris Sagal, cleverly used Sunday morning filming in Los Angeles to capture the city's empty streets, creating a realistic post-apocalyptic atmosphere without relying on CGI.
Interesting Fact About an Actor/Actress
Charlton Heston's character, Robert Neville, has a memorable romantic scene with Lisa, played by Rosalind Cash. According to Heston's autobiography, Cash was "a little edgy" about doing a love scene with him, joking that it felt like "screwing Moses" due to Heston's iconic roles.
Iconic scene from the movie
One of the most iconic scenes is when Neville is captured by the Family and sentenced to death, nearly being burned at the stake in Dodger Stadium. This scene showcases Neville's bravery and the Family's fanaticism.
What the Critics Say
- "A masterful exercise in suspense and tension" is not exactly what critics said, however, A.D. Murphy of Variety described the film as "an extremely literate science-fiction drama."
- Roger Ebert awarded two stars out of four, finding the mutants "a little too ridiculous to quite fulfill their function in the movie."
- Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times praised the film's "stark apocalyptic images" and "vivid performances."
Watch the INTRO/TRAILER
You can rent or buy The Omega Man on various platforms, including Amazon Video, Apple TV, Fandango At Home, and Microsoft Store. Here's a brief overview of the options ¹:
- Rent: $3.99 on Amazon Video, Apple TV, Fandango At Home, and Microsoft Store

Why I love - The Offer!
The Offer is an exceptional TV series that breaks the mold of movies-about-movies. Typically, these shows fall flat, but this one is different. I think it's because it's not just about the making of a movie; it's about the complex personalities, flaws, and strengths of the people involved. It's a story about creativity, chaos, and the human side of filmmaking.
A Masterclass in Storytelling
The performances are fantastic, the drama is spot on, and the humor is side-splitting. I laughed hysterically with Nikki while watching it, especially during the scenes where the studio and director clash. It's a great watch from start to finish.
