Summary: Excellent movie!
Review: I have enjoyed this movie for years and I am pleased to see it finally coming out on DVD and with extras and a fabulous price!! It is interesting to note that the original age for people to die was 21 and not 30(read the book) but then Michael York could in no way pass for 21! Peter Ustinov and Jenny Aguter are two excellent actors who really make their characters believable. I loved all the cats when I was young and the images of the destroyed US civilization.

Summary: The LOGAN'S RUN DVD
Review: LOGAN'S RUN is a mediocre movie, but, surprisingly, a pretty good DVD with a sizable amount of extras. The picture isnt bad, but it isnt great; same goes for the sound. The first extra feature is the theatrical trailer. I always love to see vintage trailers, so this extra is nice. The next extra feature is a short documentary, entitled A LOOK INTO THE 23RD CENTURY. This documentary gives a fair amount of insight into the making of the film, and is worth watching. The best extra on this DVD is the feature length commentary by director, Michael Anderson; actor, Michael York and costume designer, Bill Thomas. These three men collaborate for a wonderfully revealing and compelling commentary. The price of the DVD is worth it, just for this commentary alone.

Summary: There is just something about this movie that really appeals
Review: to me. I really love the overall look of the movie too. I think the "cheesy" look of the film is VERY appealing to me. This is defiently a movie you will either love or hate. I absolutely can't understand how someone could take off more than one star for the effects not being up to par. I don't think this movie needs the greatest effects in the world to be a great movie. The story is extremely interesting to me. I gave this movie 5 stars and I think it deserves them. I am not saying this movie is better than say "2001" although I am sure a lot of people would much rather watch this than that especially younger people who would find "2001" boring as heck. Just open your mind and forget the cheesy effects and have a really good time watching this movie. I am a very proud owner of this DVD.

Summary: A great escape film!
Review: Logan' Run has long been a cult film, and the reason isn't very difficult to fathom: it has that strange mixture of genius and kitch which never ceases to fascinate. Despite its rather cheesy sets in the first half of the film and mediocre acting from its two main stars - Michael York and Jenny Agutter - it exerts a powerful pull, aided by the incredibly effective, exquisite music provided by none other than Jerry Goldsmith, the striking image of a deserted, overgrown Washington D.C., and the excellent acting of Peter Ustinov and Richard Jordan. Logan is a Sandman. He lives in a domed city together with thousands of other people, and his job is to catch runners - people who want to escape. Why would anyone want to escape from a perfectly self-contained city where nobody has to lift a finger in order to live a life of luxury and constant amusement? There's a catch: when one reaches thirty, one has to either die or be "renewed" on Carousel. Only, some people are suspicious about Carousel. They turn into runners. They believe that outside the domed city there is a place called Sanctuary. Logan is sent to investigate. This film reaches to those bizarre, obscure regions of the mind so keenly explored during the 1970's. It's not psychedelic, strictly speaking, but the escape scene alone leaves an indelible impression. It's probably one of the greatest escape scenes in history. It goes beyond sci-fi into poetry and metaphysics. If you appreciate Max Ernst's ruin-laden landscapes or Giorgio de Chirico's Piazzas, you'll know what this means. That portion of the film alone is worth the entire film!

Summary: Decent Acting and music score, but low budget effects.
Review: Although the special effects are not very good. The movie still makes for interesting science fiction from the story, to the acting performances of Jenny Agutter, Michael York, and Peter Usionov. Featureing a good music score by Jerry Goldsmith. In the end, it's a pretty average film.

Summary: And a great soundtrack too
Review: This movie has something most films lack: conflict. This is a perfect example of a finely woven plot which leaves the viewer satisfied. The effects are impressive. The acting was excellent, with the exception of Farrah Faucet. The DVD features a worthwhile featurette as well.

Summary: RUN RUNNER!!!!
Review: I will be 30 next year, and we all know what that means... it's time to start running!!! If you are considering giving someone a gift for their 30th birthday, nothing is more appropriate than Logan's Run on DVD. I first saw this film when I was 4 years old... WAYYYYYY back in 1976. Back then I thought 30 was OLD. Now, it is almost upon me. Yikes! As Last Day begins to approach, I cannot help but reminisce about this film more and more. I'm putting off watching it again until my 30th birthday appropriately... that dreaded day of Renewal. I remember fondly the beautiful 70's babes like Farah Fawcett wearing short miniskirts and how the Inner City looked like the inside of a giant shopping mall. Ahh the good old 70's... Of course, I was just a little nard then, now I beginning to feel like Michael York, feeling jipped out of the last 4 years of my life and I want em back! (hey, didn't Arnold say that?) I guess if given the choice for Renewal at Carousel or to find Sanctuary, I would definitely make a run for it. Of course, being chased by a Sandman as sadistic as Richard Jordan's Francis 7 is enough to get the adrenalin pumping. Could you imagine a remake with Tommy Lee Jones as Francis 7? Oh wait, he's WAYYYY to old. Good God, they'd probably cast Freddie Prinze Jr. Now THAT is scary! Soon my Life-Clock will begin to flash and panic will set in... I will be 30. Life as I know it will be over. Or will it?

Summary: Lastday...
Review: This is a quirky, fun film. I have heard that it borrows heavily from Arthur C. Clarke's City and the Stars but I have never read it so I really couldn't say if that is the case. The premise is familiar to most SF fans. Survivors of some kind of apocalyptic disaster are living within a seaside city that is totally enclosed within protective domes. Those inside have little knowledge of the world "outside". They live in a hedonistic paradise (take THAT you me generation folk!) and are totally provided for...except there's a catch. You must die at 30 so that the population balance within the city can be maintained. Herein lies the plot. Two people decide to escape and they find "another world" outside. The rest is waiting for you and you will probably get a kick out of it, if for no other reason than to see the truly hilarious costumes and the sexy chicks. Enjoy!

Summary: Better than the book, and underappreciated
Review: As in the 1960's, in the future, you can't trust anybidy over 30. The difference is that, in the 22nd century, anybody that old is supposed to be dead. Nobody seems to mind that, since life until then is pleasure free, a non-stop party. As a further inducement, those who hit their 30th get a splendid lastday party, complete with levitation, pyrtotechnics and a good chance of getting "renewed". Logan (Michael York) doesn't think anything's wrong with that, and as a "sandman" his job is to track down those who would try to outlive their lastday or even (shudder) try to escape the cozy confines of the domes - a computer managed megalopolis cut off from the outside world since an undescribed catastrophe. When the Domed City's computer (with a sexy female voice) realizes that too many of these fugitives - called "runners" - remain unaccounted for, it "volunteers" Logan into going undercover as a runner by advancing him onto the terminal list. Having already hooked up with a prospective runner - Jessica (Jenny Agutter) - Logan explores the periphery of the domed city and even makes the impossible leap into escaping to an outside world neither he nor Jessica (nor Francis, once Logan's former sandman colleague, now turned hunter) ever thought existed. Logan's Run is a fave for several reasons - it's incredibly dated, nobody would ever confuse this film with one made a few years earlier or (with Star wars) a few years later. But that gives the film an identity that the script doesn't, unlike any anonymous late-night cable movie which could have been made anytime between 1992 and last week (Jerry Goldsmith's score certainly helps). "Run" is also great because its message is deeper than its cheesy setting (a futuristic paradise committed to hedonism) would suggest. Sure it looks like a cross between a mall and Tomorrowland, but anything less would dilute the shallowness of the domed city's pleasure-seeking denizens. Worse, it would minimize the shock and release shared by Logan and Jessica. Lastly, "Run" excels because it's so much better than the novel, in which their is no domed city (and no comfortable future to hold onto), and the charachters seem pretty resigned to the fact that their gonna die. The book never offers its heroes the prospect of "renewal", nor do they seem to embrace their cruel fates with anything approaching the gusto of those in the film. Sci-fi heroes in these Star-Trek-the-next-Generation days are hailed for their brilliance in technological derring-do under fire, almsot as if techno-supermen. When Logan asks the computer if the shortfall between missing and confirmed runners can be accounted for by those who have been "renewed", the sexily-voiced computer is appropriately silent. Logan's expression, now appropriately pained by the realization that there is no renewal, contains enough cognitive dissonance for 20 years worth of scripts. And the reservoir remains untapped after 25 years. Grab this film now before somebody in Hollywood learns the lesson, and makes a film far more insightful than this.
