Review – Logan’s Run

At some point in the polyester-track-suited future, the old “don’t trust anyone over 30” has become “everyone over 30 gets exterminated in ‘the fiery ritual of Carousel.’” Despite the scenery-chewing job done by Michael York in the lead role, this is a solid example of 70s-era science fiction; even without the pseudo-utopian costumes and plastic-fantastic set design, the mere presence of Farah Fawcett in a bit part would place it squarely in its historical niche. Be warned, however, that once our hero and the love interest manage to elude Box the TV dinner robot, the plot takes a turn for the dull. Mildly amusing
