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

Fundamentally, this is just further proof of Hollywood's untiring ability to reduce all science fiction to its most feeble stereotypes.
June 24, 2006 | Full Review… -
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.
October 23, 2004 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review… -
Logan's Run allows the viewer's imagination to run free in a whole new world. And imagination is what science fiction is all about.

...seriously repetitive and aggressively tedious...

Audience Reviews for Logan's Run

Feb 20, 2021Strong concept and colorful, creative set design keep 'Logan's Run' holding up well past 30. I have a thing for miniatures (blame Weta Workshop) and this hits the spot. 'Logan' combines miniatures, matte paintings, and holograms of the time to great effect, all of which are guided by some impressive art direction. There's a mixed bag of pros and cons - eye-catching spectacle, borderline stiff performances, groovy costumes (Michael York's evening robe though!), discussion-prompting ecological themes, curious third-act pacing - but 'Logan's juicy influence is clear on some of the best contemporary sci-fi flicks.Marisol M Super Reviewer

Dec 05, 2015Between 3 and 3.5. I barely give it 3.5, just for originality.Kyle M Super Reviewer

Oct 03, 2015Logan's Run is a great bad movie. What makes it great is the genuine energy and seriousness put into it. As sci-fi, it is not even terrible, but rather is fun as far as the concepts go. The youthful earnestness (typical of that era, like Luke in Star Wars) of the lead actors is a refreshing change from typical posturing one expects, and it adds to the fun/silly vibe. Perhaps four stars is generous, but I enjoyed it; just the type of flick to put on when you have a few random hours to kill late at night.Robert B Super Reviewer

Jan 21, 2013Science-fiction continues to be one of cinema's least-promising genres. "Logan's Run" is another one of the many sci-fi films that can't deliver, and while it's not a complete disaster, it doesn't work on any level. The acting is hokey, the special effects are outdated, the costume design is corny and cheap-looking and the storytelling is stale. While the opening hour is strong and interesting, the film's second half is overlong, boring and feels incredibly aimless. The miniature sets are spectacular and Peter Ustinov is amusing in his role, but ultimately, "Logan's Run" is disappointing and forgettable.Stephen E Super Reviewer
