Logan's Run

[Lacedaemonian]

I do not usually like SF, but make the exception for the odd film. For some reason this includes Logan's Run, which i watch every time it is showing on TV. This is usually the brand of Sf I detest, so why does it appeal to me so much?

I like Logan's run too- Iv'e got it on video. It's interesting.. more of an interesting idea than the more typical sci-fi type thing, perhaps, which can be irritating.

bought the dvd the first time is was available. Its a classic, It probably appeals to you because our world might one day end up like that. With all the war and over population who knows.

You have only posted 5 times and we are already having a conversation of sorts. I feel like I have reached across a galaxy of space.....

The female lead is also quite attractive, something I noticed as a child.

You would. I remember seeing the end half of it when I was about ten and enjoying it, but I didn't know what the film was called for years until it was repeated on tv so I couldn't find out about it.

At the time it was extremely unique. Plus it had a very 'Star Trek' type feel. I think it took a compelling story and made it cool.

I'm sure I've mentioned it here on the forums before but they are doing a remake now. Supposedly it will be a little different than the original movie, but more closely aligned to the book or actually the author's vision. Should be interesting in the least. It is a shame that Michael York is too old to play the lead again. I've always had a strange liking of him.

The interesting thing to me about "Logan's Run" is that it seemed to be two different films - in the city, and after they left the city. That bothered me when I first saw the film, for reasons I can't quite figure out. But it's been years since I saw it; I wonder if it would bother me now.
