“ … Logan’s Run (1977) … „Trau’ keinem über 30“: In diesem Sci-Fi-Abenteuer von Michael Anderson nimmt ein totalitärer Staat den Spruch wörtlich. Im Jahre 2274 leben die Menschen in einem urbanen Paradies tief unter der Erde. Zugedröhnt mit Sex, Spielen und synthetischen Glückspillen, genießen die Bewohner ihre Tage bis zum 30. Geburtstag. Dann werden sie mit einem Ritual der „Erneuerung“ zugeführt – in Wahrheit dem Tod. Wer sich sträubt, wird von sogenannten „Sandmännern“ wie Logan (Michael York) gnadenlos gejagt. Als der die bittere Wahrheit erkennt, wagt er mit Jessica (Jenny Agutter) die Flucht an die angeblich seit Jahrhunderten unbewohnbare Erdoberfläche …“ | https://www.cinema.de/film/flucht-ins-23-jahrhundert,1328609.html

Leigh Butler (Thu Apr 6, 2017): “ … Dystopian projections of the future were nothing new in science fiction cinema by the 1970s, of course. Not with predecessors like 1984 (both the Orwell novel from 1949 and its film adaptation in 1956), The Time Machine (the 1960 adaptation of H.G. Wells’ 1895 novel), and even all the way back to Fritz Lang’s classic Metropolis in 1927. But the 60s and 70s in particular seemed to have a special fondness for the dystopian trope … In this, the film is definitely taking a cutting potshot at the youth-worshipping culture that sprung up in the 20th century (and particularly in Hollywood), with the premise that the City’s hedonistic paradise can only be achieved by keeping the population limited to the young and the beautiful. …“ | https://www.tor.com/2017/04/06/im-getting-off-this-merry-go-round-logans-run-1976/

“ … Logan’s Run is a film that seems like it is made by middle-aged conservatives who are unable understand what youth is rebelling about and believes that what they need is to forsake hedonism and make a return to traditional respect for one’s elders, for the sanctity of family and marriage and the American flag. There is an excruciating scene where Logan and Jessica stumble into Washington D.C., find the Lincoln Memorial, the ruins of the Capitol Building and a battered American flag and then realise the concepts of mother, father and lifelong commitment, as well as the joys of getting old. …“ | https://www.moriareviews.com/sciencefiction/logans-run-1976.htm

Greg Fisher (November 12, 2021): “ … This movie is pretty unique, although it can be grouped in with other dystopian scifi cult classics of the time such as Planet of the Apes (1968), The Andromeda Strain (1971), THX 1138 (1971), The Omega Man (1971), Soylent Green (1973) and West World (1973). Each of these films painted its own unique vision of a future human society that had fell foul of its own progress in one way or another and was at great risk of losing its soul to technology. … We can recognise a number of thematic issues that arise within the text as being applicable to the modern age, in which big tech companies, algorithms and abandonment of nature are consistently cited as some of the most pressing or controversial topics of our time. …“ | https://moremovies.co.uk/free-runner-review-logans-run-1976/
