Logan's Run

from my 1970s Science Fiction Marathon, part 9 of 12


Logan's Run, 1976. Two people escape from a city where no one's allowed to live past 29. Directed by Michael Anderson. Written by David Zelag Goodman, based on a novel by William F. Nolan & George Clayton Johnson. Starring Michael York, Jenny Agutter, Richard Jordan & Peter Ustinov.

Concept: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Story: 2/4 (Indifferent). It's pretty good for the most part, but falls apart right at the end.
Characters: 3/4 (Good)
Dialog: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Pacing: 3/4 (Good)
Cinematography: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Special effects/design: 2/4 (Indifferent). Good design, bad effects.
Acting: 3/4 (Good)
Music: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good, 3/4). It doesn't meet its potential, but it's still perfectly good. Ustinov's character is fun.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.4/4 (Okay)
