Rating:  - 2.5 stars out of 4
The Bottom Line:
The first 40 minutes of Logan's Run are interesting, but once Logan begins his run the movie loses its urgency and devolves into a strange and not terribly convincing portrait of the future--look elsewhere for dystopian thrills, this one's dated and forgettable.
Rating: - Unusual Sci-fi allegory

Rating: - A very good sci-fi film, often underrated
This film is enjoyable to watch as a straightforward sci-fi chase adventure. However, it has much more to offer - as a possible future for mankind where a "utopian", closed, domed city has imposed death at 30 in order to keep "balance" - one dies, one is born (or reborn, as the system would have you believe). It follows the story of Logan 5 (Michael York) as a sandman (someone who kills "runners" - people that attempt to live beyond "lastday") and Jessica 6 (the beautiful Jenny Agutter) as they try to find ...
