Penelope Gilliatt The New Yorker Jan 23, 2024

Never was a sci-fi film so infected with the ruling national belief that young is beautiful. Logan and Jessica regard the lines in the old man’s face as an offense against aesthetics.

What's missing is originality in the plot. Some good ideas are established in the beginning, but they're jettisoned in favor of the "Man against the System" story that turns up in at least one sci-fi film a year.

...interesting to hardcore sci-fi fans and cultural historians, Logan's Run is all dressed-up with nowhere to go...

Logan's Run allows the viewer's imagination to run free in a whole new world. And imagination is what science fiction is all about.

It's a good idea. But what the movie required to set it off and make it unusual is style and this, despite a few handsome sets, is sorely lacking In the direction, writing and most of the acting.

Michael Anderson... has insisted in mixing action with spectacle, but misses the mark. The "message" of the film doesn't go beyond its distinguished predecessors. [Full Review in Spanish]

... I found myself reflecting that sf writers can get away with a lot on the printed page that moviemakers just can't.

Despite its grabber of a premise, Logan's Run flaunts poorly developed plot specifics; as such, it's terminally silly. Nevertheless, as a camp curio, it still has an odd but undeniable staying power. [Blu-ray]

Maybe its ambitions outpace its performance, but at least it tries.

It's a good story with a well-defined sense of jeopardy, and appropriate performances by York and Agutter, but my most major problem is that too much is unexplained.

Fundamentally, this is just further proof of Hollywood's untiring ability to reduce all science fiction to its most feeble stereotypes.
