Search - Logan's Run [Special Edition]

In a hermetically sealed, post-apocalyptic urban environment several centuries hence, Logan 5 (Michael York) and his friend Francis 7 (Richard Jordan) lead unquestioning lives of hedonism. Entertainment comes in the form of casual sexual liaisons and gladiatorial games in which those who do not wish to undergo euthanasia at the age of 30 vie for the illusory chance of continued life. As "sandmen," Logan and Francis are charged with tracking down and killing "runners" -- those citizens who will submit to neither "renewal" (a peaceful death) nor "carousel" (a gladiatorial battle) when their time comes. When Logan grows intrigued by a beautiful young woman, Jessica 6 (Jenny Agutter), who plans to become a runner, he is forced to question the fundamental principles of his society. And when his superiors force him to pose as a runner himself to weed out Jessica's guerilla underground, Logan finds himself fleeing the city in search of a mythical place called Sanctuary where people are allowed to live out their natural spans. ~ Brian J. Dillard, All Movie Guide

This classic '70s sci-fi flick gets a competent presentation on DVD. The widescreen anamorphic print is presented with an aspect ratio of 2.35:1 and shows no outright signs of age. The English soundtrack is in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround and the optional French track is in mono. There are also optional English and French subtitles. The disc comes with an audio commentary featuring the director, star Michael York, and costume designer Bill Thomas. The comments were recorded separately and all three are very well spoken, lending numerous insights into the making of the film. Special Features include a promotional featurette which runs nine minutes and was shot during the production of the film. Also included is a theatrical trailer and an eight-page booklet with production notes and trivia. On the main menu there is a hidden feature: when you click the life clock, you go to a screen which breaks down the various life clock colors and there corresponding ages. All in all, a solid disc. ~ A.R. Ferguson, All Movie Guide
