" Director: Michael Anderson His 24th Movie My 2nd movie watched from the director. I can definitely see why this is a cult classic. Thankful I finally get the chance to see it. I reveled in the 70's vision of the future where a society is forced to keep their citizens young... by killing them by a certain age. It was also fun to see some of its influence on the Austin Powers trilogy, which makes Michael York's role in that series even more fun. The story itself deserves a nice place in t"

"First viewing - Feb. 24th I've wanted to check out Logan's Run for a long time, but it's never been easy to track down. Or maybe I just wasn't looking hard enough. Whatever the case I'm glad I finally found it. The set design and costuming of the film is commendable, the cast is solid, and the story is entertaining throughout. Sure some of the effects are dated, but they're pretty good for the time. There were a few moments that I didn't fully buy into, but overall I enjoyed it."

Logan’s Run

“Ever watch something that was so clearly kitsch try to take itself too seriously? If not, then behold Logan’s Run, another adaptation of a grim novel that jettisons everything but the most skeletal basics. There’s a compelling idea there but it’s buried under poor acting (from normally solid actors), questionable writing, and environments that have aged poorly since 1976.   Logan’s Run keeps the central premise of the novel: the utopian ideal of this hermetic future world is built upon a disturbing secret – everyone must die by a certain age to maintain societal equilibrium. There’s also a large section where Logan 5 (Michael York) goes on the run with a sexy sidekick/love interest (Jenny Agutter), and that’s about where the novel and movie converge.

"Life is pretty dreamy inside a giant city-sized bubble in the year 2274. There’s no disease, no wars, and everyone is young and beautiful. There’s a catch, of course, and it’s a doozy: Everyone who reaches the end of their twenties must participate in a public death match, and those trying to escape are hunted by black-jumpsuited cops. The miniatures of the domed city and teens riding up and down shopping mall escalators in Christmas-colored caftans remind you that is indeed a Seventies id"
