Wonderfully offbeat film!
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
View MoreGreat example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
View MoreThrough painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
View MoreGood Lord! Another poster had a go at this series and he was bombarded with nine "not useful" votes. Should I be careful what I say here? When this series appeared it was gold. Every cast member, every costume, every turn in the story was gold. Logan's Run was hot stuff to my 12 year old eyes...even on my black and white television set! Then, in Australia at least, the series vanished from the face of the earth for decades.Last year, I finally found it again on YouTube and discovered that time has not been good to Logan's Run. It looks too low budget and, since 1977 or 1978, I have seen a few "manhunt" television shows/movies and Logan's Run does not measure up to the others. If you enjoyed this series in 1977, just keep the memories, don't track down the series in this century...you might not like what you get!
View MoreI saw "Logan's run" (the movie) yesterday and it reminds me of this TV series I used to watch a long time ago.The movie which I saw in a movie theater drastically wandered from the novel:for instance the part of sandman Francis would amaze people who only know the movies and the TV series.The TV episodes kept only Jessica,Logan and Francis and added REM ,a robot (but a human one ,not the nasty robot who freezes the fugitives).It roughly followed the pattern of "the fugitive" of the sixties ,although Francis did not appear in all the episodes.My favorite one was based on "the most dangerous game" and featured German actor Horst Buchholz as the hunter,Jessica and Logan being the preys.Unlike the movie,neither Jessica nor Logan showed love feelings and when REM hinted at it ,the heroine simply answered: "He's only a friend" .Correct me if I'm wrong ,but the last episode was not really an "end " :they probably intended to make more episodes.They did not,and it was too bad.
View MoreWhat a terrible follow up to one of my favorite SF movies of all time! It might have been good had it A)had some decent stories rather than simply making it a rip off of the Fugitive and B) had more than 10 dollars an episode for a budget. Rather than slavishly follow the movie, it should have been a follow up to the movie, having Logan and Jessica and their people re-learn how to live in their new, unprotected world. Even better, perhaps they should have adapted more ideas from the book, but that would have cost money. Will we ever see this on DVD? I find it unlikely. Pity it might have been great.Only Rem was a decent character. Lame, lame, lame.
View MoreThis is a series from the dim mists of time (at least as far as I'm concerned). I recall watching it avidly, though, when it first appeared. It's sad that it didn't have a longer run, or that it does not appear to have been re-shown at all.Donald Moffat as REM was the original android-that-looked-human. Long before Brent Spiner and DATA came along, he was my favourite character of the show.The hover car looked suspiciously like one of those Citroen cars with the hydraulic suspension to me, With just a few bits bolted on and sprayed to look good.Like Star Trek and other "original" series, it'd probably be cringe-inducing to see it again now, but I'd still give it a watch.
