Logan's Run
1 9 7 6 (USA)
A good example of what passed for Sci-Fi before Star
Wars was released and a real 1970s vision of the future.
A century after the apocalypse, a bunch of happy white
people live inside the ultimate singles complex, a huge domed city
that looks suspiciously like the Texas shopping mall it was filmed in.
Here they lounge around in skimpy disco clothing, do
drugs, beam up sex partners on demand, and wait to turn thirty, which
is when their hand crystal starts blinking red and they get to
float around in a cool zero-gravity area and blow up in front of a
cheering crowd.
Logan's
Run later became a silly TV series featuring Gregory Harrison from
Trapper John MD.
