Logan's Run is a rewarding futuristic film that appeals both as spectacular-looking escapist adventure as well as intelligent drama.
FULL REVIEW
75
Logan's Run is a vast, silly extravaganza that delivers a certain amount of fun, once it stops taking itself seriously.
By Roger Ebert FULL REVIEW
70
Logan's Run is less interested in logic than in gadgets and spectacle, but these are sometimes jazzily effective and even poetic. Had more attention been paid to the screenplay, the movie might have been a stunner.
By Vincent Canby FULL REVIEW
60
A sci-fi which balances big themes and claustrophobic action with apparent ease.
By Ian Nathan FULL REVIEW

Since this isn't one of your deep-think sci-fi movies, you look for the happy hardware to get you kicks. [4 July 1976, p.102]
By Jack Kroll FULL REVIEW
40
The lavish production has some good effects sequences, but its plot is as corny as the dreadful lurex drape costumes and Jerry Goldsmith's slushy score. Fundamentally, this is just further proof of Hollywood's untiring ability to reduce all science fiction to its most feeble stereotypes.
FULL REVIEW
20
A numbing combination of sloppy writing, vulgar art direction, high school acting, and bungled special effects—in short, par for the course for venerable hack Michael Anderson.
