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.

Logan's Run is a vast, silly extravaganza that delivers a certain amount of fun, once it stops taking itself seriously.

Top CriticMaybe its ambitions outpace its performance, but at least it tries.

Always wondered what a 'cult film' is? Try this one.

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.

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

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.

Listen close enough and you might just hear Ed Wood's voice in the background clamoring with glee.

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.
11/07/02
Harmless fun enlivened by a couple of sequences that are as good as the entire film should have been.

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.
01/01/00
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.
