...Chuck: as the last man on Earth after a biological weapon decimates the human race, he gets to chew a whole lot of scenery all by himself. Then he gets to save the planet. Sure, it wears a little thin when you see make-up streaks on the pale-faced night mutants. And the race-relations moral is ham-fisted. But if you're a Heston fan (and CP knows you are), this post-apocalyptic nightmare offers a decent thrill -- and a few chuckles along...
