Logan&#39;s Run

La migliore fantascienza anni ‘70

Film cult che percorreva i tempi

Recensito in Italia il 18 luglio 2023

Ottimo

Recensito in Italia il 5 giugno 2023

Per quanto inevitabilmente datato in molte trovate, “La fuga di Logan” ha un’ambientazione distopica con risvolti profetici quasi inquietanti, precorre i social e i siti di incontri… La storia è comunque avvincente e costumi e fotografia sono notevoli. Molto soddisfatto di questa riedizione

La Fuga di Logan e uno dei piu grandi film di fantascienza della storia del cinema!
Michael York Peter Ustinov Farrah Fawcett e molti altri.
La colonna sonora di Jerry Goldsmith e assolutamente straordinaria e gli effetti speciali sono stupendi e credo che all epoca erano i primi effetti laser su alcune scene della storia del cinema.
Ovviamente se siete amanti della fantascienza questa metal version e imperdibile!

La fuga di Logan

Recensito in Italia il 25 settembre 2022

Un film che mi ricorda la gioventù e che mi è sempre piaciuto. Un grande film girato nel primo grande supermercato di Las Vegas...se ben ricordo.

La fuga di Logan finalmente in Bluray anche in Italia...

Recensito in Italia il 23 maggio 2021

Finalmente una edizione in bluray di un film cult di fantascienza del 1976 quale la fuga di Logan. Il video è l’audio forse non sono al massimo , ma bisogna tenere conto che il film ha 45 anni di età. Bella la confezione. Piccola parte anche per Farrah Fawcett. Consigliato per gli amanti della sci-fi.

psychedelia massima

Recensito in Italia il 25 agosto 2015

esempio molto interessante di psychedelia cinematografica degli anni settanta. qualità discutibile ma interessante interpretazione di un futuro solo più strano di quello che poi sarà in realtà. 23esimo secolo troppo lontano nel tempo e troppo vicino nell'arredamento. cinema di cartone ma ancora non c'era il computer. mi piace l'atmosfera seria e preoccupata di qualcosa oggi risibile. chi ama la fantascenza d'annata lo gusterà per ora solo in versione originale.

Für mich ein super Film

Recensito in Germania il 6 aprile 2024

Die Ware ist bereits vor einigen Tagen gekommen, lt. Amazon-Anzeige unter Bestellungen aber noch nicht ausgeliefert. Merkwürdig. Den Film kannte ich aus der Jugend und war begeistert davon. Vor allem Peter Ustinov hat gut dazu gepasst. Kann den Film von meiner Seite aus nur empfehlen. Für die heutige Jugend wird der Film wohl nicht zu "explosiv" und "actionlastig" genug sein :-))

Le futur ?

Recensito in Francia il 28 ottobre 2023

Un film incroyable avec un scénario qui laisse présager d'un futur très sombre. Si on oublie les effets spéciaux qui date des années 70 l'histoire est tout simplement fantastique. Un monde futuriste ravagé par une guerre nucléaire. Des survivants qui vivent dans une cité appelée la cité des dômes. Pour faire court, les habitants ont l'obligation de mourir à 30 ans pour éviter la surpopulation. Ils doivent se rendre au carrousel de la renaissance pour être réincarné une fois désintégré 😎. Bien-sûr tout le monde n'accepte pas cette obligation, c'est la que rentre en piste les limiés chargé de les éliminés.

Doesn't work

Recensito nei Paesi Bassi il 23 ottobre 2022

Even French track announced the BR still force reading in Italian and force Italian subtitles.
Tested on 3 BR players.
Same problem.
Checked two exemplary of that BR.
No French in the end.
Who check the quality of these must be fired.

A Good Science Fiction Movie for its Time

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 22 marzo 2009

In hindsight, this movie can be credited as one of the first cyberpunk movies ever made, and it's also a testament of how rigid the rating system for movies has become at present. Logan's Run was rated PG back in 1976 and includes nudity (almost full-frontal, no less) from Jenny Agutter in one scene, plus the clothes she wears are pretty much transparent throughout; you'd never see that in one of today's PG-rated films.

The next few paragraphs contain spoilers of the plot, so for those of you who haven't seen the movie yet, you might want to skip over. I've never read the novel it's based on, but the premise of the movie is pretty unique, considering. About 300 years in the future, the whole of civilization is contained inside one huge domed city, with the ruins surrounding it the result of some apocalyptic event. Life inside the city is utopic. There are no worries beyond choosing what you're going to do with your free time. There are drugs. There's sex with no commitment (indeed, any kind of emotional attachment is looked on as an aberration). There's getting a different face at the local New You bodysculpting kiosk. Everything is provided for you by the computer mainframe that runs the city. There is no crime, save one. Running.

You see, the price for this kind of carefree existence is that your life ends when you turn thirty. In an effort to maintain population control, the mainframe has conditioned people to accept their thirtieth birthday as 'Lastday' and present themselves for a special celebration called Carousel where they 'renew' and start life over. People know when their time arrives when a small crystal imbedded in the palm of their hand begins flashing.

Certain individuals rebel against this and they've formed an underground movement with the ankh (the ancient Egyptian symbol of eternal life) as their icon. They don't believe in the myth of Carousel and they choose to run instead. The Sandmen, the only real police force the city has, exist specifically to hunt these Runners down and eliminate them. The main character of the movie is Logan 5, a Sandman, who is perfectly content with his job hunting Runners with his friend, until he meets up with Jessica 6, played by Jenny Agutter, who has one of the underground's ankhs in her possession. The mainframe then chooses him to infiltrate the underground movement and eliminate it from the inside. The incentive it gives him is by taking away his remaining time, forcibly turning him into a Runner. He begins to question everything he's been taught to believe after teaming up with Agutter's character to escape the city. Through their journey, being pursued all the while by Logan's Sandman friend, they discover a rather chilling side to both the city itself and the society within it.

Outside the city they come across something they've never witnessed before, a man who's lived long enough to be in his dotage (played convincingly by Peter Ustinov of 'Spartacus' fame). They bring him back to the city, where Logan is captured and brought before the mainframe computer for questioning. The computer cannot reconcile his answers with the information it possesses and self destructs. Logan then reveals the Old Man to the rest of society, letting them know they don't have to die. People are then free to make their own decisions and live life as they see fit. End of story.

END OF SPOILER

This movie was one of the first to portray the dangers of what civilization could become. At first glance, everything might seem to be bliss, but the degree to which everything has become impersonalized and controlled and how de-valued the individual has become in the story is really rather frightening. Look at society today. Companies now refer to us as 'human resources' rather than personnel, willing to cut 25,000 jobs here and 50,000 jobs there, calling it a 'business decision' and leaving many people on the verge of homelessness. Political correctness is currently all the rage. Computers are taking a much more prominent role in our personal lives than ever before. With our current 'entitlement' attitude, we pretty much insist on having everything set before us on a silver platter and complain LOUDLY when it isn't. Don't think. Exist. We are now SO content to let others handle our personal responsibilities that Logan's Run has almost a prophetic air to it. The one difference is that our lives don't currently have a time limit.

Yet...

This vision alone puts it up there as one of the classics of the day. I'm also not taking off any marks for the 1970s special effects. They may seem incredibly dated today, but they were considered good at the time. They just didn't have access to CGI. Also, the dialogue and the acting were par for the course for the time period so I'm giving that high marks, too. The movie was also popular enough to spawn a short-lived television series. The series was rather more cinematic than the movie in scope, considering some of the creatures the trio of adventurers comes across, but it was still entertaining in its own way.

All in all, Logan's Run was a movie with a VERY powerful message behind it, and it is one worth listening to. Keep an open mind and you might enjoy it. And before you think of jumping the gun and trashing Logan's Run because it WAS a cheesy 1976 sci-fi flick, movie producer Joel Silver likes this show enough to be pushing to direct a new version of it. Two thumbs up.

Un clásico de los años 70.

Recensito in Spagna il 31 dicembre 2023

El Blu-ray es muy bueno, aunque es una edición italiana la recomiendo.

También se puede escuchar en español.

Por esa razón la compré.
