Logan 5, a Sandman authorized to terminate Runners fleeing Carrousel, decides to become a Runner himself once he finds out the horrible truth about Lastday.

Science Fiction Double Feature
Logan's Run" (1976) and "In Time" (2012) are terrific together.
Both films explore dystopian systems designed to address the social burden of old age. A totalitarian central computer controls a socialist society through an elite police force in "Logan's Run"; while "In Time" explores a capitalist oligarchy in which anyone can stay young indefinetly, if they are wealthy enough. However, not everyone can be immortal- where would you put them all?
The costumes and sets of Logan's Run are like Buck Rodgers reimagined as soft porn; while "In Time" finds some of its gritty sexiness in hyper-hybrid reimaginings of classic cars from the 1960's.

Futuristic!!
I enjoyed this movie, but not really because it was a good movie. I enjoyed it because the special effects, music, and often acting (I'm looking at you, Farrah) were hilarious. My favorite part was whenever the characters would take the monorail around the city, which was obviously a scale model, and the tinkly, jittery space music would play. I also liked Logan and Jessica's epic struggle with the mighty Box, which essentially boiled down to them wrestling with a man in an unwieldy, square, plastic robot suit. Oh, and I also laughed out loud when two fighting actors accidentally knocked a real, live cat off of a table and scared it half to death. I don't think it was in the script, but it was very funny.
