If you are wondering about the return to still images instead of video clips, you can thank the writer of the movie David Bourla for that. After 25 re-edits of this video, I gave up on clips and went back to stills. Not because it would be demonetized due to copyright claims, (none of my videos at this time of this writing are monetized) but because it would be blocked in 73% of countries that ...

Are you Canadian??
I am not.
Logan's Run was very influential to my worldview as a child. It was the first utopian/dystopian film I ever saw, aside from Where the Red Fern Grows. But that's a different conversation ;)
If you watch it with the captioning, it's easier to follow the dialogue and it's logic.
For me, it's odd not seeing Leslie Nielsen being a comedian. Maybe they can activate the auto pilot :)
Autopilot? Surely you can't be serious.
@@daylate7411 Don't call me Shirley! HA HA. We could go on for ever. Let's just say Nielsen was best as a comedian.
I saw this back in 1982 on our new VHS player. I haven't seen it since then, I ought to give it another watch. I was 9 at the time so I found it a bit weird.
Logans run is my favorite sci-fi movie
Been subbed to you for a bit and I just realised that you are a smaller channel. Got to say great content dude, keep it up, pretty sure the subs will come 🙂
Thanks, I'm glad you are enjoying the reviews.
Thank you
Glad you liked it.
The book had a top age of like 21 vs. 30 in the movie. So, some of the script was probably missed despite it being futuristic, not understood. Definitely nostalgic, great video!!!
"Life will find a way!" (read to the end) ..because the computer is programmed, not AI. The concept of AI was not common at the time of this 1960s novel as basic computers were far from main stream. This is about societal control, as control protects the resources. The programming is imperfect because it is designed to control perpetrators. Secrecy is absolute. Perhaps, not even the computer knows life is possible outside the city because it is post apocalyptic, like post nuclear war. Survival is not possible outside the city, controlling, killing everyone by ending life at 30 is an absolute 💯 must per the programming. ( ..to ultimately protect 'society', the ultimate result is the individual sacrifice for society as a whole. (Evil = Communism = Socialism) The biggest evils in the 1960s were associated with Hitler and Stalin.) So, in this movie, births and supplies and resources were calculated so that this society can not overproduce new, consuming humans as long as they are eliminated at 30. Being renewed (their new religion) is also a myth in their society. The safety provided by the computer is a false prophet. Carousel has replaced sports arenas, brutally devolving into futuristic version of the ancient Roman Cathedral, proving that humans don't stray too far from their innate, horrid instincts. Obviously, society is reduced to simple pleasures, no religion, no love, no wisdom, and little value in forgotten history, or the boring teachings of wisdom. No real work or responsibility is necessary. Ultimate freedom is inherently achieved at birth as long as it ends at 30. You no longer need to attain the pursuit of happiness as society has given it to you, but only until you start blinking. The movie's point is that humans ultimately desire more than simple-minded pleasures and will eventually seek wisdom, pursue individual dreams, and end up closer to God despite themselves. As Jeff Goldblum says in Jurasic Park, "life will find a way".
The Logan's Run movie is best enjoyed if you check your brains at the door!
A sci-fi classic that continues to entertain today because it is well-written and suspenseful. One of the most chilling parts of the movie wasn't even filmed- as one of the surviving scientists from the ill-fated greenhouse watch describes what he saw happened to his colleagues. This disturbing mental image is revisited when Capt. Henry confronts Dr. Carrington about his blood-fertilizer experiments.
Every time I hear "Doctor Roberts" I then hear the Beatles sing "Dr. Robert."
I used to watch t his movie from time to time on the Saturday Matinee on Channel 5 out of Washington DC.
A very unique example of 80s neo noir with a sci-fi twist.
Michael Crichton is LEGEND.
Nicely done, lad. Watching you.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
Your whole take on the end is wrong. Kid, you don't understand how to experience a story. It's pretty sad how your generation has TVtroped and Cinema Sinsed away your ability to benefit from your imaginations, the one thing that makes humans unique.
Also the novel THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN by Michael Crichton. Made into a classic movie.
The first thing I ever saw from Crichton was the 1971 movie adaptation of that. Good stuff.
I loved this film,simple,indy,sci-fi alien fun,god the 80s ruled.2 thumbs up from me.
upvote for the reference to the Cult's "She sells sanctuary". That song is awesome sauce.
SPOILERS to answer your question on why the computer acts weird it's because it's not run by computers completely and the system handling Logan and runners is a secret oligarchy of old people why run the city ACCORDING TO THE TV SERIES SPIN OFF of I remember correctly; there's a secret area in the dome for rulers who don't have a lifeclock and understand the true nature of the city and world
Wouldn't make any difference, a secret oligarchy of people will run afoul of the calculation problem (emergence and distributed networks for the win) whilst Gosplan with the super-est of super computers will with probability one encounter an anomaly that does not compute.
And in that last scene... th-cam.com/video/fnm1BRqXIm0/w-d-xo.html
This isn't a review, it's just a summary.
I would ask that you watch the last 4 minutes of the video as that is probably what you are looking for in a "review".
Interested to see what you think of more x files.
One of my all time favorite series. The first 6 seasons are gold.
I love this movie. It perfectly made. It's masculine. It's exciting. It's intelligent. It's complex. It's true to the spirit of X-files. It fits with the overall storyline and it was made for the fans.
Masculine? Why?
@@mcjs8640 Oh, I'm sorry... Are you one of those people that's "triggered" by that word?
The film was a big let down for me. We wanted E.T. and we got Frankenstien. We wanted mysterious and we got gross.
You're referring to the second movie, not the first. I liked both. It's just personal opinion.
@@mcjs8640 fair point. forgot about the first.
The Oiliens were a great way to keep the audience engaged with the show. Monster of the weeks were whimsical and had a Twilight Zone feel that could grab any viewer. This movie was the start of a long slow decline for me, and i could see the shadow of the stick despite only looking at the carrot. I faithfully watched every episode of X-Files in its first incarnation, but it never lived up to the promise of the early years. Thanks for the trip.
Thanks. I agree, the X-Files started very strong and then kind of faded towards the finish line. Still, it was a heck of a ride.
THX1138 is the most accurate depiction of the future world from a 1970 perspective I've ever seen. We are living in the dawn of THX times now. Most people just don't know it yet.
I've been saying this ever since it became apparent that "social" media and "reality" TV were reprogramming society..... Not to mention how drugs and processed foods are making a more predominant role in everyone's lives.....
Exactly - how are they going to survive? I enjoyed as teen when it came out - but they’d all be dead very soon with no food and no way to get any - heck how did the old man survive - by eating cats?
Thank you for this. I rented this in my youth. And always wondered about it
"Cabin in the Woods"? Lets step back a bit further, to Evil Dead. It even had that budget that was so small you might have been able to get a pizza with it with a light tip. ;)
"Sandman" is a reference to the concept that Logan puts runners "to sleep" - permanently. Sandman was actually a nickname, they are actually called "Deep Sleep Operatives" in the novel. So even their official name refers to them putting people to sleep by killing them. I don't remember the bit about the babies, odd, in the novel "free love" was the norm; they even had "Glass Houses" that were essentially broth3ls. There was no contraception, when a girl got pregnant and gave birth the child was immediately taken from her and sent to a mechanical crech3 where they were raised by robots so as to never develop empathy for others. Another note about Jessica's first encounter with Logan; in the novel she was a unicorn, er, I mean a v1rgin - and also on her Lastday. She put herself on the Circuit so she could at least experience s3x once before dying. When she saw Logan's Sandman shirt lying around she realized what he was - a murderer - and decided to rethink her plan. A rather ridiculous part of the movie is that black shirt with the grey horizontal stripe is only worn by Sandmen - it's their uniform. So Logan goes on the run trying to pose as a Runner - all the while wearing a Sandman uniform. The reason for the computer worrying about the missing runners is fairly simple; it's programmed to be in control and and the 1000+ missing runners are people it has no control over- after all machines tend to be very "single minded". Also note that in the novel, it's Logan who comes up with the idea of destroying Sanctuary. He does it because he's nearing his own Lastday and he wants to be remembered when he's gone. Destroying Sanctuary seems like the best way to do it. The city kids might have no survival skills; but they have the old man to show them. He's never lived in the city. Another interesting bit in the book. Logan has heard a story about a man named Ballard; Ballard is special because his Palmflower never turned black so he uses the New You shops to get a new face and (somehow) a new ID; and he helps runners escape. The big reveal at the end. Francis is Ballard. He has been monitoring Logan all along because he didn't trust a Sandman to really be a Runner. After seeing how much effort Logan put into saving Jessica through the story he has changed his mind about Logan. Which basically reiterates that originally Logan could not be trusted; but his relationship with Jessica changed him. Not only did he want to see her live; he wanted to live beside her.
I love the scene where they were ripping Laura lee’s clothes off
A sci fi classic. Have to watch it on my own as the other half just wouldn’t get it.😊😊😊😊😊
I remember this was split into two nights on CBS back in the 70s
Man, you could easily take apart any move like that. Especially sci fi. I just remember watching it as a kid and loving it.
Please review the ~1975 version of _The_ _Stepford_ _Wives_. I like your straightforward approach.
Captain Hendry uses cockpit procedural management throughout the entire movie. His leadership is unquestioned but he relies heavily on the ideas, input and information offered by his subordinates.
Your inability to understand or draw your own conclusions as to the sledgehammer obviousness of the films themes without turning on a commentary to explain it to you should make you pause and reconsider watching movies at all, let alone making content reviewing them.
If you understood that picking up a red block at the mall and then placing it into a vacuum transport system at home was a slam at consumerism good on you. I didn't see it as a sledgehammer obvious comment on the subject. The fact that Lucas talked about it in the DVD commentary suggests that many people were oblivious to it as well.
A Day Late Johnson is right! R2 was captured by the Jawas at night.
So many good movies came from that time period. Finding a good movie these days is rare.
'79-'81 might be the greatest run.
This movie and Pale Rider are my favorite Clint Eastwood movies.
The BEST 50's sci-fi movie ever. It open the door for all the sci-fi movies after. Granted some were cheesey. I have a huge collection of 50's sci-fi on DVD's or blu ray.
I would go with "Forbidden Planet" as my favorite 50's sci-fi, but there is nothing wrong with "The Day the Earth Stood Still."
@@daylate7411 That movie is in my collection.
Here's another film you must review ' Collossus, The Forbin Project'...It's not easily found in good nick, online, so you may have to sail the high seas to get it...
The TH-cam algorithm struck gold.
I agree with you about the ending. No one know how to grow food. Where will they get clean drinkable water? Who will teach them about childbirth? No more artificial wombs and nurseries. It doesn’t make sense. These people were set up to fail.
The old man did; he'd never lived in the city; and just the way he taught Logan and Jessica about burial he could teach them all to survive.
That Henry Cavill joke is gold.
This was the 80s spank bank movie for boys. Just like The Beastmaster the waterfall shower.
Lucky basterd! 😆
