This movie has woven through my mind deeply. There is nothing more thought provoking then seeing beautiful people refusing to permit old-age. Logan is 26, 4 years away from Last Day when the story unfolds (not 30, like the paragraph above states!), and then undertakes a task because the computer forces it upon him by speeding up his life-clock! The society tries so hard to be a "Brave New World" but there are those who rebel against this "Renewal" at 30 concept. For those who "Run" there are the Sandman, and they track down the runners. Logan's one of these, which is in itself a Paradox.
It's interesting seeing how the 1976 movie maker envisioned the future to be like. The Hedonistic attitude was rather humourous, and the "Circuit" I think was a combination of Star_Trek (beaming) and TV!
Knowing the York has been in other movies, like Cabaret, it's great seeing his acting abilities in something a bit lighter (years before the "SHAG ME BABY" movies!).
This movie is one of two that I put together (as I can see that the reviewer before me also must do!). I consider Soylent Green and this to be a one-two punch for a society wake up call in the midst of the turmoil that was the 70's.
I consider it a must see movie. And if that fails, there's always the Young Farrah Fawcett?
