4.0 out of 5 stars Bad Transfer, March 16, 2008

By	Andrew Hunter King "ElMonstroPorFavor" (Middletown, CT) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Don't bother replacing your old DVD copy of Logan's Run for this new one with a modernized (lamer) cover. This is another bad transfer, blurry with all sorts of film abnormalities.

Still gets a 4 because this movie is wonderfully strange and fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the all-time classic Sci-Fi movies!, November 16, 2007

By	Rob "Rob" - See all my reviews

I remember that Logan's Run is the first science fiction movie that I ever watched, which probably has some bearing on how I've rated it.

This movie is based upon the best selling book Logan's Run by William Nolan. The movie does take some artistic license but nothing too drastic as to completely disown it from the book, such as that horrid movie, Starship Troopers. The effect is that more people are better able to relate to the characters...also probably because they couldn't find actors young enough to match the book.

Another unfortunate is that after the movie had been edited, the cut tape littering the floor was disposed of rather than saved for posterity purposes. One of the cut scenes that I wished could have been saved is where Box creates the ice statue of Logan and Jessica.

Many people like to disregard this movie as too cheesy and/or campy; however, you have to put the movie into context as to when it was filmed and released. The advancement of special effects as seen in Star Wars (released the year after Logan's Run) wasn't available to other studios at the time. Using miniatures was still considered cutting edge in addition to some of the 3D holograms that were used in the computer room.

I'd highly recommend watching this movie as it's a wonderful return to the mid-70's world of science fiction.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great movie, disappointing DVD, May 5, 2008

By	Logan Swift (Oklahoma City, OK USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

First of all, I love the movie itself. But that is not what I'm reviewing here. I'm specifically reviewing the 2007 DVD release, because there was so little information out there before I bought it.
The first thing I will say is that I like the redesigned packaging. The first two editions looked too dated.
But, the cool exterior kind of gives some false hope as to what's inside. Instead of a DVD booklet, there's a voucher to receive free admission to I Am Legend in theaters (obviously a moot point now). The DVD itself is one of those two-sided discs, like certain releases of Windtalkers or Napoleon Dynamite, that have the widescreen version on one side and full-screen on the other.
When you pop the disc in, it just starts playing the movie. If, while the movie's playing, you try to use your DVD player's equivalent of the "Main Menu" button, you'll get your player's equivalent of the "action not available" message. This led me to mistakenly believe that there is no DVD menu or special features on the disc, but if you play through the movie, after the end it will go to the menu. The special features are somewhat sparse, but it is after all only one disc.
The movie itself is of pretty much the same quality that we're used to. I didn't necessarily expect a big improvement in that department, but I think by now we're overdue for a remaster.
Honestly, though, in spite of the disappointments, at a price point of $13.49, I didn't feel like I wasted my money. I guess you really do get what you pay for.
