Hi. That movie stuck in this young head because of the girl. The movie itself has a nice premise. I’ll use this opportunity here to further the idea of watching Forbidden Planet once again. I know I bring that one up in every other sci-fi-related comment, but if Cassie still sticks to the plan of broadening her horizons concerning movies, it would be a serious oversight to miss this classic.

It is definitely a movie of its time, not aged well, but the ideas behind it still work in my opinion. Well done for sticking with it Cassie

Haven't watched this yet. Probably last watched it when I was 16. I do remember being massively impressed by it back then. I believe it was the acting and tight script.

I loved this movie when I was younger. I haven't seen it in a while but I'm really looking forward to your reaction!

to answer the question asked a few times throughout the reaction: because the domed city can only support a certain amount of people. To prevent overpopulation, a way had to be found to keep the population numbers in check. I don't think this is a spoiler for anyone. If I could mark this "for Mrs. PiBs eyes only", I would :)

I remember reading that people were saying that this movie was going to change and revolutionize science fiction in movie making. The following year, Star Wars was released.

Logan’s Run (the book) was far from the first story to feature a domed city. Not sure about the movies, but I think Cassie was probably right about there being earlier examples. Outstanding examples of sci fi stories involving domed cites are Arthur C. Clarke’s Against the Fall of Night (later extensively rewritten as The City and the Stars) and Isaac Asimov’s Caves of Steel (the first of his Robot novel series). In Clarke’s stories, the people have built up a legend (untrue) that an invading alien species rendered the outside uninhabitable. In Caves of Steel, Asimov created a world in which people gradually became accustomed to having all their needs met within the huge metropolises in which they lived. Eventually, the thought of stepping outside the dome became unthinkable. People had become so used to living in their “cave of steel” that they all suffered from extreme agoraphobia. The very thought of leaving their domes is enough to cause panic attacks in many. Both Clarke’s and Asimov’s novels predated Logan’s Run (the book) by almost 20 years.

Enjoyed this more than I thought it would. Had totally forgotten about the outside parts in DC and congress. As cheesy as some of the miniatures and special effects were, you can see how influential the movie and story continues to be. The aesthetic reminds me of vintage EPCOT Center.
