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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
