To me, this movie is perfection.

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

People forget that this, coming out two years before Star Wars, was a big hit. Based on the book (and very different from it). Set in the future, Logan is a Sandman, who job it is to terminate those who won't accept a chance on Carousel, when their life is terminated at 30 years old. Michael York and Jenny Agutter are great as the main characters, Logan and Jessica, but Richard Jordan as the betrayed fellow Sandman, steals many scenes. A fine movie that is still worth seeing today.

I was only 3 when this movie was made, so I didn't see it back in the day. The first movie I remember seeing was Star Wars episode IV, A New Hope. So I'm no stranger to 70s sci-fi. Actually, I've seen older sci-fi movies as well. That being said, I thought the majority of the special effects were pretty cheesy. The laser effects were pretty good, but that was about it. The story was also a bit too cheesy for my taste. I'd like to think that a culture so advanced would know better than to exterminate people at the age of 30. After the apocalyptic event (which they never mention specifically what it was) that destroyed the world, you would think people wouldn't do things even more foolish, but they do, apparently. The acting was, at times, rather mediocre. My whole reason for watching it was to understand references made of this movie in TV shows and other movies. Now the references make sense and that's all I wanted. Not planning to watch it again unless I'm bored out of my mind.

. . . for decades, which should come as no surprise since LOGAN'S RUN spews forth from the maw of the infamous MGM Gang, purveyors of that mendaciously racist snooze fest GONE WITH THE WIND. About the only thing that Logan's Road Show has going for it are Jenny Agutter's knockers and the fact that it's about two hours shorter than GWTW. However, Fascist Traitors such as Norquist, Rove, and Bannon have frequently threatened to "drown the American Government in a bathtub." This is exactly how LOGAN'S RUN pictures our hallowed Washington, DC. A swamp has been drained INTO our Capital, and its Black Majority are ALL dead and buried!! The Job-Killing Corrupt Fat Cat "Conservative" Corporate Red Commie One Per Centers now live in a totally homogeneous, uniformly White domed city in which robots have replaced Black Slaves\Servants to do the bidding of lazy masters who cannot be bothered to perform a lick of work. Even the robots lose patience with these insufferable Racist White People, with their Youth-based Lookism Society. A robot named "Box" strips 1,056 of these white folks naked for his Ice Cube Art Collection, while the City Computer Bot finally torches most of the remainder like so many campfire marshmallows.

I wish I had seen this in its entirety at the time it came out, a naive teen whose only expertise in science fiction was "Lost in Space". As far as futuristic voyages were concerned, all I knew in 1976 was that it was the bicentennial and that 2000 seemed several lifetimes away. Way past the age of 30 now, my life really began way past the age that they end here. I couldn't imagine having only 30 years to live my life, so the idea of a world run by adults under 30 who act more like children than children is a scary prospect indeed.It's the job of Michael York here to track down those who should have been terminated (referred to as runners), and in an ironic twist has him all of a sudden on the run himself thanks to an assignment to locate the 1200 plus who have managed to avoid capture and termination. He locates sanctuary and infiltrates his way in, falling in love with the understanding Jenny Agutter. Along the way, he encounters a young Farrah Fawcett, as well as the sweet old man (Peter Ustinov) who risks his life by accompanying York and Agutter back to the deadly underground city. What seems cruel in fact becomes an opening to theory, and in order to understand it all, you must look at it in the perspective of a film made 40 years ago. This goes way beyond the futuristic society's of " Fahrenheit 451" and "Soylent Green", and provides a glimpse into a dire future. With a huge set that looks like an art Deco mall and costumes straight out of Neverland, this is colorful and delightfully weird. In actuality, many of the supposedly under 30 characters look like they are way past 35.I look at this as a metaphor as to why society cannot infiltrate its way on the natural order of things, referred to as spiritualism back then, but with a sneer, referred to as extreme liberalism today. Some of the special effects and photography are cartoon like, and the music strangely sinister. I cannot look at this as dated, because compared to the artless and overly loud cynical doomsday films of the day, this actually has things of importance to say, unlike the ones of today which simply tell me to grab an aspirin.
