ZPG: Zero Population Growth (1972) NTSC DVD5 ISO

Synopsis

Oliver Reed and Geraldine Chaplin star in this dytopian vision of thing to come. Under the weight of overpopulation, human society has begun to self-destruct. A policy of Zero Population Growth is forced upon citizens in hopes that twenty years without new births will right the sinking ship that is our planet. Couples are issued dolls to take the place of children, and neighbors are encouraged to speak out about any illicit breeding. Reed and Chaplin play a couple who make the decision to subvert the will of the government and have a child of their own. They're soon forced to hide their crime from big brother, baby-snatchers and even those they had trusted most. Zero Population Growth follows in the tradition of Logan's Run and Soylent Green in making it endlessly entertaining to watch a world that we wouldn't want to live in.DVD Verdict

ZPG is a clever, if minor, entry in the dehumanized-authoritarian, environmentally compromised-society canon of '70s science-fiction films. Better acted and more serious than Soylent Green and Logan's Run, it lacks the giddy outlandishness of those pop classics.
