Self-driving vehicles, laser surgery, a society that lives only for pleasure and entertainment, AI controlling every aspect of everyone's life, mad robots...thank God it's only a film:)
After the destruction of the city's central computer network (and I assume it was destroyed beyond these kid's ability to repair it), the so-called "Cubs" (no known connection to the baseball team) would have spread out across its ruins, inhabiting every liveable space they could find. But without food or water, not to mention climate control, they would eventually be compelled to exit and join the others living (or starving) outside the city.
The book and the film "Logan's run" are based on the anti-communist, anti-totalitarian novels "We" by the Russian writer Zamyatin and "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley. The artificial Western civilization is plunging into a new totalitarianism. Although strictly speaking, she never came out of totalitarianism.
I loved this film I went with my wife on a trip from England to Dallas we went to the beautiful water park we’re the final scenes were shot we also visited the Grassy Knoll very poignant for me I was sixteen when President Kennedy was shot I distinctly remember were I was all those years ago
Amazing model… I just don’t think they filmed it very well. Or maybe it was just a rubbish miniature model. The tubes look particularly model-ly. Either way great design ideas. Its a really convincing vision of a futuristic city.
Not a lot of other kids had read 1984 like me. When I watched this, (2 times at the theater the weekend it came out), I looked for clues on winning against tyranny. Logan is used by the computer to infiltrate and destroy Sanctuary. But his faith was instinctually humane. That the system humans were governed under, was a false reality. A plastic existence. Ankh is misused since. I really appreciate the message, "the wrong man in the right place, can make all the difference in the world." (Half Life 2)
