"Jazzily effective andieven poetic. Logan's Run isifun!" -Vincent Canby, The New York Times
Live it up today, your time is up tomorrow. In the Year of the City 2274, humans forsake the ravaged outer environment by living in a vast, bubbled metropolis. There, computerized servo-mechanisms provide all needs and everyone can pursue endless hedonism. Endless, that is, until Lastday. That's when anyone who's 30 must submit to Carrousel, a soaring, spinning trip to eternity and supposed rebirth.
The screen's first use of laser holography provides some of the sci-fi kicks in this post-apocalyptic saga honored with a Special Achievement Academy Award for Visual Effects. Michael York plays Logan 5, a government Sandman authorized to terminate Runners fleeing Carrousel. Logan is almost 30. Catch him if you can.

The Running Man - 3.5 out of 5 (8/19/2000)
No science fiction classic deserves a re-make as much as LOGAN'S RUN, the 1976 film starring Michael York, which has a rich script, but seems hopelessly outdated today because the visuals and special effects seem so cheesy by modern standards that it becomes hard to watch the movie without being distracted by them. According to several Internet fan and movie sights, a re-make or sequel of some sorts has been in the works since about 1990. Hopefully, the buzz generated by another re-issue of the

Shades of 1984 - 3 out of 5 (1/23/2003)
I remember seeing this at the theater when I was 16. What a stark reminder of how far-fetched the movie idea was and how close to reality the controling idea of society has become. This ranks up there with 1984 and THX-1138. I think everyone under the age of 30 should watch this and WAIT!

from Fringe Video Fanzine Issue #005 - 4 out of 5 (6/7/2002)
This pre Star Wars (1977) sci-fi thriller was one of the first VHS tapes in my collection and now I'm happy to have this updated onto DVD. Filmed many years before CGI, it was one of the first films to use lasers, and holography, and won an Academy Award for visual effects. The story... Typical for the time, is about changing societies and values. It is a futuristic tale of a utopian society living in the year 2274, under a couple 'Buckminster Fuller type' bubbled domes. The population's of

Great DVD transfer of a science fiction classic. - 4.5 out of 5 (9/30/1998)
MGM did an excellent job on this movie. You have to remind yourself, while watching this DVD, that the film was done years ago. You don't find the scratches or spotty images as you do with some others. Although not stated, this has to be a restored print.
Also, the widescreen only mode shows you the film as you will not have seen it since its original theatrical release.
The audio is now in surround sound and is excellent. You will think it was filmed in surround orginally.
