I saw it at the cinema when it was first released, and saw it about ten years ago when it was shown on TV.
The script is weak (no explanation of any kind how society got that way), morally simplistic and sentimental. I thought 'Soylent Green' was similarly weak: both poor adaptations of reasonable SF novels.

I think I have seen it about half a dozen times. It's a flawed film I agree but the concept is an interesting one (everyone is killed when they reach age 30 to control population), the sets are good, and it features Jenny Agutter at the height of her powers. Rotten Tomatoes gives it 62% overall, I'd say that's about right.
Who remembers the TV series spin off?
picked up the first series of kung fu with david carradine.. not seen it since i was young.. may not have aged well tho
I think I watched a couple of episodes.
Peter Nicholls in his book 'Fantastic Cinema' gives 'Logan's Run' two stars out of five, meaning "only watch if it is raining and there is nothing better to do". (or 40%)
The ratings are an average of those of Philip Strick (author of Science Fiction Movies), Tom Milne (reviews fantasy films for Monthly Film Bulletin), Ramsey Campbell (horror novelist and reviews films for Halls of Horror) and Peter Nicholls.
An alternative take on the idea of a 'thanatocracy' is partially explored in the film 'Zardoz'. A film that has too many interesting ideas for its own good, is flawed but (again IMO) is a much better film (though Rotten Tomatoes only gave it 47%! :doh:). Worth watching if only to see Sean Connery running around in a loin cloth (:eek:), and again most of the females are bra-less and wear flimsy diaphanous tops.
