TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

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

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Hitchcoc I've always found Michael York a little spooky. I remember him from "Cabaret" and Zefferelli's "Romeo and Juliet," among other things. He is handsome but has an odd quality to him. In this film, he grows up in a society where people are living in a bubble. To sustain themselves, it was decided long ago that at thirty it was time for folks to die. It was also decided that there was no life outside the bubble. Logan (York) and Jenny Agutter come to realize that what appears to some to be a transition is actually an execution. They make their way to the other side, but things are not over yet. It becomes important to them to get the message back to their city to make people realize that there is a world where all could survive to old age if they were fortunate enough. What's a little hard to swallow is that a couple of renegades could wield so much power.

Mr-Fusion It occurred to me very late in the running time of "Logan's Run" that I wasn't enjoying the movie's story, themes or dystopian vision so much as the visuals. Not just the feminine beauty of Farrah Fawcett-Majors and Jenny Agutter, but also the imagination in the world being shown. They used locations with the glossy sheen and angular architecture of shopping malls and convention centers (which I do like, especially back in the '70s). But the production design in those places was impressive; very much of that time and attitude. And eventually we get to the foliage-overgrown D.C. which itself is a good image. It's not lost on me that I appreciated this superficially, just as its society vacuously prized attractive youth over middle age.And as a movie, it's entertaining, but doesn't get going until the second half when York and Agutter start running. In some ways, it felt influenced by "Planet of the Apes", but was never as good. Don't get me wrong, this is a good movie in a junk food sort of way. A little empty. But like I said, it's a '70s sugary treat for the eyes.6/10

gavin6942 Logan (Michael York) is a Sandman, someone who kills all those who refuse to sacrifice themselves on their 30th birthday. But when his clock starts ticking, Logan and Jessica (Jenny Agutter) make a run for it.I had seen this film in the mid-1990s for a class, and thought it was pretty good. Re-watching it now (2015), I can see why it is a science fiction classic, though some holes are now there. And I do not just mean plot holes (of which there are a few). The city exteriors are obviously a model, and it is almost humorous how easy it is to tell.But the story is very good and now a part of pop culture. The two leads are great, and I wish Agutter had done more horror and sci-fi in the 70s/80s. Farrah Fawcett's role is small and sort of peculiar. Peter Ustinov is great, and nice comedic relief. Now sure what was up with all the nudity, but...

utgard14 In the 23rd century, people live a hedonistic lifestyle in a domed utopia run by a super computer. When people reach the age of thirty, they are publicly put through a ritual called Carousel that involves them being blown apart in mid-air (you have to see it to believe it). Some refuse to accept their fate and run away. They're called Runners. The police types sent to track them down are called Sandmen. Michael York plays one of these Sandmen named Logan. He's sent undercover by the super computer that runs things. It wants him to infiltrate the Runners, hoping they will lead him to a supposed safe haven they have called Sanctuary. He meets a pretty runner played by Jenny Agutter and the two find themselves pursued by Logan's closest friend and fellow Sandman Francis (Richard Jordan).A smart, creative, and fun science fiction classic from the '70s. Mocked by many but I love it. It's a great story adapted from the novel by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson. The sets are amazing and the old-school special effects are colorful and charming. I always appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into crafting the visuals for science fiction and fantasy films pre-CGI. Nice Jerry Goldsmith score, too. Michael York and lovely Jenny Agutter are very likable. Jenny has a couple of nude scenes that many will appreciate. Peter Ustinov has an amusing role as possibly the oldest man left living in the world. Farrah Fawcett has a small part here. She's attractive but her acting is not good. It's a very interesting and entertaining movie. Not perfect but what is? If you enjoy futuristic movies like the Planet of the Apes series or Soylent Green, you'll probably like this. It's got robots, lasers, babes, ice caves, and all kinds of fun stuff.
