Logan's Run 1976

Very good

This was a very underwhelming movie. I had heard so much about it and frankly I don't get the attraction. The premise of the story is interesting, but it is clearly a thinly veiled shot at organized religion. Even in the 70's, that's hardly clever.

Another thing is that it looks terrible. This was a full eight years after the amazing effects of "2001: A Space Odyssey". This doesn't even compare to the futuristic look of the sets in the original "Star Trek" TV series. The fact that they shot most of "Logan's Run" in a shopping mall is apparent. Everyone wears nighties or pajamas and the aptly named killer robot named "Box" is a far cry from C3PO, who appears in "Star Wars" only one year later and looks about 1,000 times more amazing.

The final act just stalls out. Logan and Jessica talk with an old man who's survived the earlier nuclear apocalypse, Logan kills "runner" Francis with a flag pole and the Sanctuary's computer overloads because Logan gives it some answers to questions that it can't handle. The last 30 minutes feels like an entirely different story.

In a world without old people, a couple refuses to die.

The intervention of the old man played by Mr. Ustinov... that´s the key of this movie.

In Time is NOT a remake of Logan's Run. Their stories are completely different, something you can depict even from the very short descriptions here on trakt.

There is a remake of Logan's Run in the making, either this year or 2014 (several sources on the internet are a little bit fuzzy about that) is it coming.
