People can curse _Star Wars_ and its brethren all they want, but movies like this are evidence of just how DEAD cinematic sf was before Mr. Lucas followed his dream. Dull, silly, and another one of those '70s sf movies in which the future looks like a shopping mall in Dallas or something

Futuristic sci-fi has come a long way in the past forty years. The majority of sci-fi from the 70's and earlier had a flare for fantasy. It's as if, in decades past, the difference between plausible science fiction and magic was non-existent. "Logan's Run" is an interesting story, a good premise, and it highly dated. It's also one of the most important sci-fi movies of the decade. View it as a 70's fantasy movie with shiny wardrobes, rather than sci-fi, and you'll be sufficiently prepared.

In the future no one lives past 30, underwear is outlawed and we're all forced to live in 1/100th scale miniatures. There, did I miss anything?

The initial promise of a great movie in the first half was let down by some scenes that didn't bother to make sense or have a point, as well as some bad special effects. Still, it had some great individual scenes.

If "The Island" had been released before this movie, I would call this The Island on drugs, but because that isn't the case, The Island is Logan's Run off drugs. Though the pacing isn't very good, Logan's Run is definitely interesting, and it gets progressively better with a very solid ending. Pretty good!

Logan doesn't really run much. What you get is an ugly and poorly acted sci-fi entry to file under out dated trash. Peter Ustinov's Moses character is at least warm but mostly superfluous. You also get the worst robot in movie history which is kind of (unintended) fun. How this is somewhat respected is a mystery.

ok the costumes are "bizarre", the acting is quiet poor, and the setting and effects ( especially the robot *lol* ) are really bad. But, and that's the most important point logan's run make a lot of fun. The idea is very interesting and compared to today's scifi bullshit ( without heart and any new idea ) i'd prefer movie's like this one with a lot of charme.

I deeply love the films of the 1970s, but nothing else is ever quite so emphatically, insistently unwatchable as '70s bad.

Top badass moment? Despite being closely pursued by baddies, Jen still appears to make time to stop, redesign and tie-dye her dress as soon as she gets out of the ice cave. This film is set in a society where underwear for women (except very skimpy tights), allotments (try using a spade with one of those things embedded in your hand) and old people, are apparently banned. And watch out for the most shit robot ever. About 12 cats (they kept moving so hard to count), no chainsaws or decapitations.

An interesting concept but poor in its excecution. The screenplay should have been much more focused, the editing is jerky, the dialogue is robotic, the entire population seems to have been sprayed in cheese and the amount of gender stereotyping and racism is shocking. On the plus side there's some nice photography, a few enjoyable scenes and Ustinov provides a strong performance.

I had fun while watching this, but couldn't help feeling disappointed at the lost potential. I would have liked to know more about Logan's world - maybe some history as to how this dystopic society came about. The colour-coded ages are seemingly important but aren't very well explained at all. Instead, there's far too much emphasis on what happens after Logan goes "outside" which isn't very interesting because, well, I already know what outside looks like.

Interesting. Fairly well done, but REAL dated now in terms of effects; doesn't look "futuristic" at all anymore.

Logan is the oldest 26 year old I've ever seen. Turns out York is 34 in this flick. This is almost as bad as teenage Daniel Larusso from Karate Kid 3...

Fun movie. Didn't get too deep cause the premise probably would've fallen apart preety quickly if you looked at it too hard. Funny how instead of just not killing each other at 30, they decide to blow up their near-utopian society and plunge civilisation back to the Stone Age and it's played as a happy ending.

Starts off decent despite its many, many flaws. Notable cringeworthy events include: The worst robot design in movie history (kudos); Farah Fawcett not being able to deliver a line if her life depended on it. "Yes...I...remember..." ffs. If only Box was that robotic; And Jenny Agutter taking her clothes off for no good reason. The whole mess is oddly cut and poorly scripted. This movie has no right being this entertaining. Can't help but liking it.
