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

It still remains a very interesting and entertaining piece of classic science fiction cinema.

Listen close enough and you might just hear Ed Wood's voice in the background clamoring with glee.

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

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

In the future, it's gonna look a lot like the '70s.

Despite some dreary bits, Logan's Run isn't bad sci-fi and is an interesting exercise in what the future was thought to be like back in the 1970s.

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

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.

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

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.

If you can resist the urge to laugh, it's still a visually fascinating and provocatively entertaining film.

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

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

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.
