A numbing combination of sloppy writing, vulgar art direction, high school acting, and bungled special effects.

Overview
In the 23rd century, inhabitants of a domed city freely experience all of life's pleasures — but no one is allowed to live past 30. Citizens can try for a chance at being "renewed" in a civic ceremony on their 30th birthday. Escape is the only other option.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Fundamentally, this is just further proof of Hollywood's untiring ability to reduce all science fiction to its most feeble stereotypes.
Logan's Run is a vast, silly extravaganza that delivers a certain amount of fun, once it stops taking itself seriously.
Harmless fun enlivened by a couple of sequences that are as good as the entire film should have been.
