Logan's Run (1976)
Director: Michael Anderson
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Logan (York) is a security guard in a computer-controlled bubble civilisation whose hedonistic inhabitants are compelled to die at 30. His job is to hunt the fugitives, but one day outside the bubble he discovers 'new' emotions with Jenny Agutter. The lavish production has some good effects sequences, but its plot is as corny as the dreadful lurex drape costumes and Jerry Goldsmith's slushy score. Fundamentally, this is just further proof of Hollywood's untiring ability to reduce all science fiction to its most feeble stereotypes.Author: DP
