1 out of 5 stars Where is 5.1 sound?   December 13, 2008
Logan's Run [1976]br /I bought this on the understanding it had been remastered and was in 5.1 surround sound it states this on the back of the DVD and had a sticker on the shrink wrap. When I play it though I only have 2.0 anyone else have this problem?


5 out of 5 stars totally fantastic   December 4, 2008

5 out of 5 stars Oldies won't care, Newbies beware!   October 24, 2008
Science Fiction films Prior to Star Wars looked different. br /br /The future had massive computers with big flashing lights on them. People wore futuristic jumpsuits and pumps. br /br /Step in Logan's Run one of the finest films ever. The costumes and acting are pretty cheesy. The robots, special effects are terrible and some of the models to show the sprawling city are what you would expect from an after school model club.br /br /Who cares the story is fantastic (read the book also it's a classic and far more in depth) br /And everything about the films sets off perfectly against everything else.br /br /I guess first time watchers who like films with CGI and massive budgets may struggle to see what us dudes who watched it over 20 years ago like about it but, give it a go.br /br /Anyone who is thinking of taking a trip down memory land, go for it.br /br /5 starsbr /br /MEGA FOX Jenny Agutter is in it also! What more reasons do you need!br /


3 out of 5 stars Not the full picture?   September 29, 2008
  5 out of 6 found this review helpful

According to the packaging and the trailer on Amazon, the widescreen ratio is 1:85. If so, it's not the full widescreen version and material is missing from each frame.br /br /The film was shot in 2.35 widescreen, and that's the width of frame that was used in the vhs release.br /br /If the picture has been cropped to 1:85 for this dvd release, then viewers are not getting the full impact of the impressive set designs which are so much a part of this film's success.br /br /Great sci-fi movie, and well worth a look, but fans are being shortchanged with the picture.


5 out of 5 stars A Science-Fiction classic on DVD at last   September 27, 2008

My old VHS tape can now rest in peace, at last we have a widescreen DVD version of Logan's Run with remastered sound.br /It's one of my favourite movies of all time. It has a great fast moving story, lots of beautiful people intent on living their alloted 30 years to the full but living alongside a darker underclass, the cubs, and an underground movement that helps "runners" try and find Sanctuary. The special effects are great and won a Special Achievement Award at the 1977 Oscar's and Jerry Goldsmith's music, a mix of orchestral and electronic is superb, I have the OST on vinyl' and to top all that off it has Jenny Agutter. br /I agree that the effects do look dated now but bear in mind that at the time their use of lasers was ground breaking. I saw it when it first came out and have watched it countless times since and it has never lost its appeal to me. br /On the extras front the commentary by Michael York (Logan), director Michael Anderson and Bill Thomas the costume designer is very informative, the costumes played an important role in portraying a society where pleasure appears to be the sole purpose. The featurette on the making of the movie has a quite grainy quality to it but still gives a reasonable deal of information and is a nice addition. br /Now how about someone releasing the Logan's Run TV series with Heather Menzies?br /
