Logan's Run to the Digital Gym!
If the Six Million Dollar Man married the Bionic Woman, their firstborn might look something like this uniformly hideous biospheric clodpole. Designed and lit like an indoor shopping mall at Christmas, this is one of the singularly most garish displays of art direction ever to emerge from a major studio — in this case, MGM. Not to be outdone, the cast and screenplay are equally overwrought. At the very least, one hopes Peter Ustinov enjoyed a good payday for his appearance (and for providing his character’s dialogue). Once I ran from Logan’s Run, but last night’s home theatre revival may be cause for a re-evaluation. Anything as instructional in its awfulness as this deserves to be shared with friends. See it with a crowd; that way, the sound of contemptuous snickers reverberating through the auditorium will help keep you awake.
