It was entertaining along the lines of other movies where the earth is attacked by aliens, yet all these people were walking out of the theater terrified of global warming. It was just like when beaches noted a drop in tourism after "Jaws" came out.
Actually,Logan’s Run was a movie that showed the effect of bad government solutions to nonexistent problems. The entire reason given for The Carousel was proven false.
I don’t know anything about that particular movie.
Yes, that’s exactly the problem with some of these movies, as well as books, articles and TV shows. They are all very effective ways to impart propaganda.
I remember going to see "Earthquake" when I was about seven years old and it was in "Sensurround," which basically meant that the theater shook. That is why my friends and I went to the movie, we didn't care about the story, we wanted to see stuff get destroyed.
But somewhere along the line, the left figured out that they could insert their agenda into these action movies and nobody would even care. At the end of "The Towering Inferno" they have Paul Newman and Steve McQueen talking about how they shouldn't build buildings that tall anymore because and that is what the average viewer will leave thinking; however, the entire movie was about how the fire started because the builder cut corners and didn't do what he was supposed to.

Yes, that's a very good example. There are many more, not only regarding the issue of life, but of morality.
I think Farrah Fawcett was in that movie and she was very alluring.
Soylent Green is not possible. It plays on the fear of Global warming and overpopulation. I do not think millions of able bodied people would be sitting around with nothing to do. The scenario presented in “Soylent Green” would be a great setup for anyone who would become dictator. People would be divided into groups. If the situation persists for any period of time then the groups would gain power by being pitted against each other. The world will not get to the point of overpopulation as depicted in the movie.
