LOGANS RUN DVD.. Everyone has their opinion of everything, sure, for the early years of Sci Fi greats, Logans Run was at the top of the list for many. The Logans Run DVD release was quickly snapped up by a multitude of devoted fans of the movie, for a number of different reasons, but the underlying draw of the movie is still there for most. "If you can stifle the urge to laugh at its pastel unisex costumes and futuristic shopping-mall décor, this extravagant science fiction film from 1976 is still visually fascinating and provocatively entertaining. Set in the year 2274, when ecological disaster has driven civilization to the protection of domed cities, the story revolves around a society that holds a ceremonial death ritual for all citizens who reach the age of 30. In a diseaseless city where free sex is encouraged and old age is virtually unknown, Logan (Michael York) is a "sandman," one who enforces this radical method of population control (but he's about to turn 30 and he doesn't want to die). Escaping from the domed city via a network of underground passages, Logan is joined by another "runner" named Jessica (Jenny Agutter), while his former sandman partner (Richard Jordan) is determined to terminate Logan's rebellion. Using a variety of splendid matte paintings and miniatures, Logan's Run Now on DVD earned a special Oscar for visual effects (images of a long-abandoned Washington, D.C., are particularly impressive), and in addition to fine performances by Jordan and Peter Ustinov, the film features '70s poster babe Farrah Fawcett in a cheesy supporting role. Jerry Goldsmith's semi-electronic score is still one of the prolific composer's best, and Logan's Run remains an interesting example of '70s sci-fi that preceded Star Wars by less than a year." --Jeff Shannon - But Many Young Males would remember the character played by Jenny Agutter for the rest of their lives, a vibrant young woman, Jenny captured the eye of many Red Blooded Boys, In Many of her movies, from Australia's "Walkabout" to "An American Warewolf in London" - Michael York is a little stiff in the Part of Logan 5 the sandman, but I Couldnt imagine the part going to anybody else. Logans Run DVD is a Definite keeper, a Great Story, Great cast, and a nostalgic look into a possible future...
