Fundamentally, this is just further proof of Hollywood's untiring ability to reduce all science fiction to its most feeble stereotypes.

A numbing combination of sloppy writing, vulgar art direction, high school acting, and bungled special effects.

Harmless fun enlivened by a couple of sequences that are as good as the entire film should have been.

A hit-and-miss futuristic film about a world in which nobody is allowed to live past 30 years.

In the future, it's gonna look a lot like the '70s.

Cautionary tale of a futuristic society bent on destroying all but its youngest citizens.

It still remains a very interesting and entertaining piece of classic science fiction cinema.

Pre-Star Wars sci-fi; the events of the next year rendered it obsolete with record speed although there's a little more than usual here to enjoy.

Despite some dreary bits, Logan's Run isn't bad sci-fi and is an interesting exercise in what the future was thought to be like back in the 1970s.

Logan's Run is not great filmmaking, but it's a nice sci-fi thriller with an interesting enough plot to keep it propelling along.

Maybe its ambitions outpace its performance, but at least it tries.

It's a good story with a well-defined sense of jeopardy, and appropriate performances by York and Agutter, but my most major problem is that too much is unexplained.
