- First time watching "Logan's Run" (1976) movie reaction and review with my thoughts and breakdown of the movie.
Logan is a sandman, a man tasked with hunting down runners. In a closed off society where everyone lives for pleasure, but there is a catch, life must end at 30 years old. Some try to escape this fate and when it becomes apparent a large number of theses people have gone un accounted for Logan is tasked with going undercover to find out what happened to them, and where they might of gone.
What do you think of "Logan's Run" leave a comment to let me know.

I was just telling my wife how the term Sandman got into this movie, since it seems so random. In the book you died by being put to sleep, not this exploding flying Carousel thing. So the job of the Sandmen was to put you to sleep.
They also raised the age of death from the book because the actors that hired to play the parts were older.
Err the plot of he movie largely follows that of the book - Sandmen hunt down runners (et al)
“The Sandman,” a short story by German writer E. T. A. Hoffmann about a young man named Nathaniel who is traumatized by a childhood experience, explores themes of mental illness. It was included in Hoffmann’s 1814 story collection Nachtstücke. As a boy, Nathaniel conflates the Sandman, a character in a children’s story, with the regular visits of a family friend to his home. His fascination with the Sandman continues into adulthood, much to the concern of his friends. “The Sandman” served as the inspiration for the 1870 ballet Coppélia as well as Jacques Offenbach’s 1881 opera The Tales of Hoffmann.
Peter Ustinov, the old man, was considered one of the greatest British actors of all time. I loved this movie only because of him. He was elequent and charming and just a lovely man in this film. He recited the poetry from "Cats".
I was 9 years old when this came out and I loved it, still do. I’m surprised it’s never been remade especially now when everything is getting remade 👍
I was around the same age, I had my grandfather take me back to see it 4 more times in the movies LOL
I was ten and I was transported. I saw it at my neighbourhood cinema.
The Island (2005) is not an exact remake but very much inspired by Logan's Run.
There has been a lot of scuttle butt of it being updated for modern day. But it has been development hell for so long just like the 1984 Dune until David Lynch did it.
Oh I'm sure we will see it remade soon. Hollywood seems unable to take chances on new content anymore. Only properties with some sort of pre-existing interest or audience seem to attract ivestment these days. The question is will it be any good. I slso was about 9 when I first saw this at the drive in, I loved it and it's still a guilty pleasure.
Great film. And the best computer voice in cinema history. With HAL a close second.
I was 12 when this came out. For some reason the carousel scene really got in my head and makes me shiver even now. On the plus side I developed an adolescent crush on Michael York that lasted for years!
EXACTLY! my first thought after seeing this movie as an adult was GREAT! now where are we going to live? Where is the food? WHat kind of government will we have? How many doctors do we have? What kind of economy will we use?
Francis tells you why there's a Carousel/30th birthday death, as does the opening title. They live in an enclosed space. There is a specific number of people. One is terminated, one is born.
I like your channel. So far you seem to like a lot of what I like. Maybe you should try The Time Machine from the 60s.
Farrah Fawcett made a short appearance on this She was an original Charlie’s angels. I feel old having to point that out. In the past that was common knowledge lol
The guns were propane based and malfunctioned a lot but when they worked, it was a cool effect. Kind of a pre Star Wars blaster
My mom purchased the book for me when the movie came out because my dad was really strict about what movies I saw. Even though I was 12, there were things in the preview that he thought I was too young for. Big mistake! The book is far more "sexually charged" than the movie! It's a good late 60s Sci Fi book though, and very, very different from the movie! Pretty much what happened was the Baby Boom never stopped and the population kept exploding. Add to that the youth movements of the late 60s and the rise of computers and there was revolution. There weren't any domes either, Anyway, enough of the book spoilers.
In the movie, Sanctuary was really all the frozen 30-year-olds. There is a deleted scene that gives the number of the frozen bodies as 1056, so no one made it out before Logan and Jessica. Looking through the comments, it looks like others have already posted the important points. Nive reaction! Thumbs up!
Watched this in the the cinema when it came out. I was a teenager at the time. Now I'm over twice the age of 'renewal' in this film. Consider me a very successful runner. :D
If you paid attention to the beginning of this movie when Logan and Francis are in the nursery looking at the newborn babies you would have heard Logan say “It’s not everyday that a sandman is born.” This means that people do not select to be sandmen but are taught growing up that the will be a sandman when they reach a certain age.
Compare Logan’s Run to Blade Runner. The plot is both Logan 6 and Rick Deckard are given a task to perform. Logan’s journey is exciting whereas Deckard’s journey is rather dull. Both movies have interesting visuals though.
Maybe Logan's run is a metaphor for religion. Being renewed at carousel is like going to heaven maybe they are both just hope and not real. Maybe religions is just a means to get you to behave in a certain way that's beneficial for society.
It was Jenny Agutter who summoned the first stirrings from my prepubescent loins back in the 70s.
The movie "The Island" had several parts taken directly from this movie especially the ending where all the people come out to see that it was all a lie. Logan's Run will always be one of my favorites but the TV series was horrible.
Maybe both educational for you and enjoyable for those watching to look up who the stars are. In this case the georgeous Jenny Agutter, Michael York & Peter Ustinov as the old man.
Much of it was filmed on location in dallas texas, the flame on the guns was real no special effects and rarely worked.
That weird part where he met the girl is like extension of Tinder mixed with Star Trek transporter and the purpose is swinging. Basically, if you want random sex with a stranger, you enter transporter and whoever is also up for it can transport you to their home. Because it's a very low on inhibition society with just young people it makes sense. Girl said she was sad because her friend died so it also makes sense why she wanted some fun.
I have seen this movie so many times. The visuals are great. I always found Richard Jordan (Francis) more appealing, he also portrayed Duncan Idaho in David Lynch's Dune. In the book there is more to Francis than meets the eye. Michael Anderson who played the Doctor was also the director.
His son, Anderson Jr.
Such a big difference between Film and the book. Both great but different. It's the whole world and no domes,,,,, and the decay like cathedral are parts where the computer has no control in the book.
Ah, this movie represents the dry years. The years between 2001: A Space Odyssey and Star Wars, when studios were afraid of space operas because anything less than Kubrick would be laughed at, and usually was.
So we had the occasional Earth bound Sci fi romp to keep us happy but I knew there was more out there.
Lucas and Spielberg finally brought space back to Sci fi movies.
This Hollywood movie was one of the last of its kind before Star Wars changed it all, if not the last made in that old-fashioned big budget studio style much like Disney's live-action fantasy The Island at the Top of the World (1974) was the last of its old-school adventure kind. I think the model effects in Logan's Run were dated already when it came out, this was almost a decade on from popular UK puppet TV shows like Thunderbirds and Stingray so 1976 audiences would've noticed those model shots right away but we didn't mind that it was just the way it was and you accepted it and went with it. Which is much like today's audiences should view these films too.
@@LarryFleetwood8675 It's a shame what happened to the models of the domed city. Such great care and detail and no expense was spared to create this miniature city and yet no one seemed to have any experience at all in filming miniatures of this kind. The manner in which it is photographed inadvertently draws attention to it's actual scale. They should never have attempted to depict lakes of water. The camera should not be floating and bouncing as it moves across the landscape, it doesn't appear they are even using the correct lens for miniatures, etc. I'm not even a photographer and I can tell what's wrong with that opening shot.
Don't get me wrong, I love the movie. In fact, I'm obsessed with the female computer voice. "Approach and identify"
That being said, sci-fi on this level requires a director well versed in the genre. Unfortunately at the time, such men were rare.
I loved this movie, I accidently turned into a Goth when I was a kid insisting on wearing black Jeans and a black Tunic or shirt at all times.
Always thought Logan could have saved himself a lot of running around if he made use of that teleporter that delivers mail order partners.
In case you didn't pick up on things its a society with limited resources and no family units, people just hook up, have sex and any kids are taken away by the state. In the books the age was 21 young and beautiful forever. Also it meant for the most part you were dealing with kids. The greens were 7-14 and the cubs were druggies, its why Holly was so confused.
During the 70's nudity was extremely commonplace in uk movies, people liked boobs but it was a cheap way to perk up intrest rather than sticking in another set piece. We didn't used to have porn we had Hammer horror movies.
I really need to watch this because I found out some scenes were film in the Dallas-Fort Worth area
I forgot Farrah Fawcett was in this.
The city looked a bit like expo 67 in Montreal.
When Bumble and Tinder invent a way to teleport women to your house it will become really popular
I remember I had a ring tone of the "Plankton and Sea Greens" quote from this movie.
Watch this movie five times now. And I love this movie so much. I really hope they make a remake on this because this has potential to be one of the best films in sci-fi. Just now they have to appeal to the modern audience
The book is much much better. Similar story points, but spread across the overpopulated world; not in a dome. The "old man" is really Ballard, the mastermind behind Sanctuary. He's at most 60 in the book. He's also been in plain sight the whole story: obviously, if your lifeclock never turns black, you have to change identities periodically.
They struggled to make the Stages on a Sanctuary line, make sense in a dome setting. Like the frozen setting with the "cyborg", Box. In the book, that's the penitentiary in the Antarctic! Box was a human whose body was mangled in a vehicular accident.
The cats in Old Washington aren't feral house cats in the book. They're the descendants of the big cats from the DC zoo!
I wish this were remade sticking closer to the book: all black uniforms, no color coded clothing; death at 21. (Only 30 in the movie because there weren't enough young actors. I have no idea what the colors mean in the movie. In the book: 0 to 1 years old, white palmflower; 1 to 7 (childhood) yellow; 8 to 14 (adolescence) blue; 15 to 21 (adulthood) red.)
At the end of the 20th Century, the world was drowning in overpopulation, leading to the Little War, when adult society is overthrown & the youth oriented society is set up. The government's central computer, Thinker, is reprogrammed to run the systems no one trusted to adults. The saying was "Don't trust anyone over 21."
The hypnoteleporting thing, as you put it, was a movie shortcut to not have to build Arcade, where consenting adults go to get a drug buzz & have free sex. Think swinger's club.
At the end of Last Day, the dutiful citizen reports to a Sleep Shop for painless euthenasia before their crystal turns black. Sensors throughout each city flag black crystals that come in range. DS Headquarters in the city is then notified about the Runner, so that Deep Sleep Men (Sandmen) can be sent on the hunt.
In the book, children aren't given a choice to be Sandmen. They're trained from birth.
I haven't watched this for a few years, but I've seen it a lot. Just occured to me they predicted Tinder/Grinder, only it's literally a transmat.
Love the classic who background Daleks, they deserve more lighting :)
Are you a fan of Quatermass as well? Classic Dr. Who and Quatermass go hand in hand :) 3rd Doctor's era was inspired by Quatermass and the Pit and Spearhead from Space was basically Quatermass 2. you should watch them on here especially if you haven't seen them. :)
Holly was in shock, she had never seen or even experienced anyone dying before that. Think about it.
The movie also was the basis of a short-lived tv series
The box scene was heavily edited. They filmed a scene where he sculpted an ice statue of Logan and Jessica nude. They cut it out to avoid an R rating.
“The Circuit”, the teleportation device, is like Tinder or a hook-up sex app, where you get in, and ‘spin the wheel’, so to speak. When two people match, they have sex. Logan wasn’t into the first person selected, but Jessica was his type. The complication is she put herself on the circuit because she was sad over the death of her friend and even says she doesn’t know why she did it, then started talking too much and expressing subversive views about renewal. Logan’s “let’s have sex” attitude is a reaction to her wasting his time. Logan’s thinking, if she didn’t want him she could’ve stayed on the circuit.
"I'm assuming..." DON'T. This is not a predictable movie. Damn.
if you can find a copy the novel is well worth reading
Supposed to be doing a remake with Ryan Gosling.
if you are looking for bizarre but good check out Zardoz and Phase IV
That was a future way if hooking up sex was the whole point of it. The female clothes on here made quite an impression on me as a teen in the 70’s
It's very difficult to realize that one's indoctrination is stupid. For example, you've been taught that patriotism is a good thing and that soldiers are heroes. There is a high probability that you are Logan at the beginning of this movie.
I agree. Same with Common Core and CRT
Not prostitutes. Free love.
They did a LOT of drugs in the 70’s
