Logan's Run.
Set in 2274. After some type of holocaust all the remaining people now live in a big city covered by a dome that's run by a super computer. Nobody has to work and every pleasure is catered for. but the only snag is that when you reach the age of 30 you have to be euthanised at the carousrel were you are supposed to get renewed. some people don't believe it though and bugger off to find some place on the outside called Sanctuary. but get chased by the police called the sandmen and killed if caught. Logan 5(michael york) is one of the top sandmen and is given a undercover job of becoming a runner to find were sanctuary is. but begins to question his mission when he discovers the truth with his fellow runner Jessica 6(the gorgeous jenny agutter).
A very enjoyable sci fi film indeed that is certainly entertaining. okay some of the effects do look a bit dated but at least you can appreciate all the effort that went into it without all the reliance on CGI nowadays. it is nicely shot, colourful with great sets and costumes, especially Miss Agutter's
, and good music too. Yes there is some campness, the box robot in particular
covered in tin foil.
but it's well acted, with great chemistry between Jenny Agutter and Michael York. and co-stars Richard jordan who plays fellow sandman Francis is very good too as is Peter Ustinov as the old man.
Farrah fawcett also gets a cameo as well, but i much prefer Miss Agutter to her to be honest
Great fun 81 out of 100.
