This morning, I wanted to add a brief post about the 1975 classic(ish) “Logan’s Run.” It was on one of the classic movie channels this week, and I took the opportunity to watch it for the first time since the 1980s.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, despite the low-tech effects, this film was far and away better than Krull and Dune. Why? Well, because it had a decent story and script, of course.<\/p>\n

Now, don’t get me wrong. It had some gaffes. Some real head-scratchers. But all in all, the global message in Logan’s Run was clear and philosophical.<\/p>\n

I won’t bore you with details or plot summaries. Too many of those are already on the interwebs. And if you’ve never seen it, you probably should. But I will say this…<\/p>\n

Watching Logan’s Run in 2017 made me realize that it’s essentially a mash-up of “A Clockwork Orange”, “Omega Man”, and “Doctor Who” – but without Charlton Heston and The Doctor.<\/p>\n

Maybe someone could do something like that now with 2017 technology and budgets…<\/p>\n
