...a movie based on an ending. And if you can't figure out that ending ten minutes into the movie, you aren't paying attention.

A sluggishly directed look at life and death in the 21st century.

Good, solid stuff, assembled efficiently enough to be pretty persuasive.

This futuristic thriller just seems to keep getting better with age. An entertaining sci-fi flick done before special effects took over the genre.

Not well thought-out and a genuine disappointment for all its visibility in the popular conversation
June 05, 2007
Uneven and slightly muddled futuristic horror story -- not really science fiction, more like an antipollution PSA gone berserk.

Where so many science fiction visions of the era have dated, this gritty creation of a depressed (and depressing) future... looks all the more real.

Their 21st-century New York occasionally is frightening but it is rarely convincingly real.

The film was a typical seventies sci-fi effort, scientifically illiterate and unimaginatively composed.

The future never looked as retro...

The somewhat plausible and proximate horrors in the story of Soylent Green carry the production over its awkward spots to the status of a good futuristic exploitation film.

Modestly entertaining.
