Logan's Run (1976)

 

Super Good Sci-Fi Classic!


This film is highly dated without a doubt: The cheesy 1970s sci-fi clothing, the overall look, hair styles and make-up, the "disco" look of the Carrousel room - yet the film is so good it's easy to overlook these things.

The year is 2274, in the 23rd Century. There is has been a problem of overpopulation for a long time but the problem has been solved when you have to die on your 30th birthday under the guise of being "renewed". Logan is one of the Sandmen - a guard that stops the Runners (those trying to escape the domed city). Computers run everyone's lives - including the Sandmen. Logan is chosen by the Computer to run and find the Sanctuary the Runners are trying to escape to and destroy it. Will Logan succeed in running from the other Sandmen? Will he find the Sanctuary? Has Logan decided that the Runners are right in their beliefs? 

Super good movie - why I don't know but it is! It's a cult classic for a good reason!

9.5/10
