Never was a sci-fi film so infected with the ruling national belief that young is beautiful. Logan and Jessica regard the lines in the old man’s face as an offense against aesthetics.

What's missing is originality in the plot. Some good ideas are established in the beginning, but they're jettisoned in favor of the "Man against the System" story that turns up in at least one sci-fi film a year.

...interesting to hardcore sci-fi fans and cultural historians, Logan's Run is all dressed-up with nowhere to go...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 24, 2021

Logan's Run allows the viewer's imagination to run free in a whole new world. And imagination is what science fiction is all about.

...seriously repetitive and aggressively tedious...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 29, 2020

Kitschy sci-fi classic has some sexual content.

Where is Rod Serling's Twilight Zone when we need it most?

| Oct 31, 2019

It's a good idea. But what the movie required to set it off and make it unusual is style and this, despite a few handsome sets, is sorely lacking In the direction, writing and most of the acting.

Michael Anderson... has insisted in mixing action with spectacle, but misses the mark. The "message" of the film doesn't go beyond its distinguished predecessors. [Full Review in Spanish]

... I found myself reflecting that sf writers can get away with a lot on the printed page that moviemakers just can't.

Despite its grabber of a premise, Logan's Run flaunts poorly developed plot specifics; as such, it's terminally silly. Nevertheless, as a camp curio, it still has an odd but undeniable staying power. [Blu-ray]

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 16, 2010

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

| Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 9, 2009

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 1, 2008

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

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 4, 2007

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

| Jun 4, 2007

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

| Original Score: C+ | Feb 19, 2007

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