Critic Reviews

Staff (Not Credited)

Logan's Run is a rewarding futuristic film that appeals both as spectacular-looking escapist adventure as well as intelligent drama. Read full review

Empire Ian Nathan

For some it may come across as too cheesy and sometimes cliché, but to others, like myself, the film uses these negative qualities to enhance its charm and post-apocalyptic message regarding humans' overdependence on technology to govern their lives. The film reminds us all why its important for us to never forget who we are and to appreciate Mother Earth.… Expand
