Should I watch Logan's Run?

I'd be concerned if your dad was a zoomer

yes, especially for Jenny Agutter

should I watch Run Lola Run?

What was the deal with that cave robot?

FISH

AND SEA GREENS

PLANKTON

AND PROTEIN FROM THE SEA

An excuse to get them naked. Although if you ask modern film "critics" they'll tell you he's a racist caricature showing blacks as "the other"

>Should I watch Logan's Run?
Yes. At the very least once. I've seen it twice. Probably won't watch it again.

It has Jenny Agutter in it so yes.

He's a remnant of the time from before the children's revolution that their society forgot about because everything is automated now

>What was the deal with that cave robot?

His programming became corrupted after so many years to the point he was treating any humans who managed to get that far, as just another source of food for the people in the city above.

I was thinking in meta terms but yeah

>Should I watch Logan's Run?

Sure, but it's REALLY dated and was forgotten about the following year when Star Wars was released.

I wash just meaning the design of the robot, hard to think it could have been taken seriously when the movie was made

>the following year when Star Wars was released
Traditional thought provoking science fiction murdered by space laser fantasy.

This 100%
I don't think it should be remade.
Very quotable.
>memory of me and a pal going as Sandmen for Halloween

Star Wars didn't just murder sci-fi, it murdered movies in general. The current shitty state of movies can be traced right back to it

>memory of me and a pal going as Sandmen for Halloween
That's great user

Made me smile

Also yes.

Yes.

Screenplay is the worst part. Not that the dialogue is necessarily bad, but about halfway through it becomes clear that the story has no idea where it's going. The ending just kinda happens. A number of interesting themes are touched, but never really explored.

But I love the look of this film. Very cool mid-70s sci-fi aesthetic, unlike anything else you've seen. Almost approaches cheesy in some points, but avoids it. Excellent cinematography and editing too.

the special effects don't hold up, lots of shots of explosions and sparks and stuff just layered over a set falling over

Yes. Legitimate classic, even if production values are quite 70's.

The city is incredible, a giant futuristic shopping mall filled with scantily clad sluts. I wouldn't want to live there but I'd love to visit. It looks fucking comfy

Not only was the main girl a serious downgrade but so was her outfit. Wasn't this made around the same time as Wonder Woman and Dukes of Hazzard? Why were they so afraid to show some skin?

Once we're were told the premiss of the flick is people being killed off at 30, there was nothing left except cheesy SFX.

Don’t get me wrong, at the time I thought the movie was neet-o but then I was a little kid and that’s what Hollywood was putting out back then.

Star Wars is objectively a FAR better movie then Logan’s Run in every way.

yeah it's great

Disagree, Star Wars has always been an overrated boring shit flick with stupid protagonists and the only memorable things about it are the villains and the score

You're supposed to spend the film trying to reason out how humanity got that way.

>I wash just meaning the design of the robot, hard to think it could have been taken seriously when the movie was made

I saw the movie at the drive-in when I was 8 years old and at the time, it was really cool but then that was state of SFX back in 1976.

Damn I love the look of this film

Sci-fi was superior back then. Only pleb faggots care about "muh speshal effecks" what matters is the concept and the characters. Even 1930s sci-fi was better than the shit we have now

Movies used to do that intentionally, before they discovered camera shake and lens flair.

Remote controllers were giant blocks back then and still something of a luxury. That robot would have been kinda rad for its time due to it driving around instead of walking awkwardly.

Do what intentionally?

skin is for fags. real men want to see fashion.

Things to come is a fascinating film. Predating WW2 and the before the invention of rockets, it just covers things you won't see anymore. Any modern film will rewrite the predictions that were wrong, and will alter the flawed political views that didn't pan out historically.

Look good.

Are you trying to imply the two are mutually exclusive?

>what matters is the concept and the characters.
Visuals and editing are the things that matter most in film.

I was specifically referring to science fiction films. Obviously visuals and editing are important as well, and Mario Bava did them best

I hope this is sarcasm.

It's an aesthetic staple of 70's Sci-Fi, so I'd say watch it just so you can take in the sets and overall production design. From a story/character standpoint, it's pretty run-of-the-mill, I'd almost call it sub-par. I don't know if it was more revolutionary when it came out, but I wasn't really all that impressed with the general story or any of the character arcs, but that could be a personal thing. Only one way to find out if you'd like it or not, though.

There was a lot of public political energy behind stories that depicted what life could be like if humanity destroyed itself.

Is it true that Logan's Run is a statement about Baby Boomers and their materialism and blase attitude towards sex?

It's certainly worth a watch
I'm not entirely sure what it's trying to convey or what the point was, but there are a lot of neat sci-fi touches to keep your interest. It definitely sags passed the halfway point but it never becomes tedious

That makes more sense, then. I wish I would've looked up the history of the production period when the movie is made, it probably would've resonated with me more, then.

I don't like researching movies, the blinder the better. usually decide by the one or two sentence explanation you get on the side of google when you look up the movie name

Agutter was certainly a better slag but I am happy with the skin AND the liberal use of pantyhose in both the movie and its limp tv show.

Bottom line: Logan's Run is comfy.

More movies need giant shopping mall settings, there is literally nothing comfier than a classic shopping mall.

>destroy a society because it's built off a lie and leave everyone to fend for themselves in a wasteland
what did they mean by this?

Those literally are the most important parts, only plebs think the plot is the only thing that matters.

They clearly didn't know how to end it. None of those fucks will survive the winter and you know there will be cannibalism. I think we call agree that the last 30 minutes of the movie are garbage.

Here's how it should have gone: Logan and Jessica escape to the wild, discover everything is barren and destroyed and return to the city dejected. They are caught and publicly executed as an example

I think it can be kind of interesting to do a bit of research before watching a movie or listening to an album, since the state a director/group/artist was in can really inform what kind of work they produced, but I also agree that going in blind can absolutely help you form more unique conclusions as to what they may have been trying to say/what the work says on its own while removed from personal influence.

What has tv done to you?

Aye. It certainly takes me back to my youth.
Malls are like colony space ships anyhow.

Great arguments, plotfag

Everything is important, a movie weak in one area can be great by being strong in others. There is no "most important part" to making a movie. Some get by on great stories, others with great visuals and music, and even some movies that get by just from being really weird and unique.

Michael York is an underrated actor, love him as d'Artagnan in the Musketeers films.

That's me. A plotfag. I have plotfag pride.
LR has good plot IMO

Yes but if your movie is out of focus, the character's faces are off screen the entire film and it's incomprehensibly edited: No good story will help make it better.

it had to have a plot, it's a book adaptation, books are plots

I'm not saying plot doesn't matter, I'm saying visuals and editig are the aspects that need the most care if you want your film to be good.

youtu.be/Ra9lFNglvIQ

go for it

Name five (5) movies that do this

That was a exaggeration. But just look at Michael Bay's filmography if you want an example.

nice

He doesn't know how to watch wide screen.

In those days, any sci-fi on television was must-watch. No matter the quality, it fed that jones for more Star Wars. Methedone levels of quality. The 70's didn't know how to be embarrassed.

It's mostly about how life would suck if humans ran out of food and took extreme measures to ration comfortably.

Yeah, but the story was heavy into the fascist concept of some "wise" nation using their advanced military means to take over the world of the stupids to engineer a utopia.

I found this odd.
In a society that was as degenerate as theirs, how did they not know about pregnancy?

Jenny Agutter is a goddess.

>In a society that was as degenerate as theirs, how did they not know about pregnancy?
Contraceptives in the water?

The whole point is you have to get terminatedrenewed before a new baby can be created so the population stays the same

They basically cover that near the beginning of the film. Births are highly controlled and regulated. Possibly clones. Possibly genetically engendered.

It would a be a cold sequel to find out that everyone was sterile, and they needed the system to make new humans.

I thought it was boring.

they live in a society
