Oh man does this suck! I can't believe that this movie came out a year before Star Wars. It's inferior in so many ways it would be pointless to list them all. Except I will say that the special effects are atrocious. I won't bother going into all of the gory details but I would like to point out two scenes that deserve special attention. The first is the part with the robot in the ice cave. How there is a frozen cave with ice sculptured animals on top of the underground city outside of a futuristic D.C., I don't know. What I do know is that it and the robot who lives there make for one of the dumbest nonsensical scenes in the history of Sci-Fi. Why it was even in there, besides providing an opportunity for the chick to get naked, I don't know. I dare anyone not to laugh at the robot when they see it; I wonder how many takes it took the actors to get through it themselves. The other scene that I especially disliked was the part with the old man. As if the movie wasn't boring enough the makers of this film decided to have a scene where two people ask an old man a bunch of questions he doesn't know the answer to. He mumbles, talks about his cats, and then says I don't know. Wow what a great character! It's just stupid, they could have written in any character but they decided to put in a boring old man. It's movies like this that make people hate sci-fi. Thank god Star Wars came along the following year and revolutionized action/sci-fi movies. I'd hate to be living in a future with Logan's Run as the model for science fiction movies, then I don't think I'D want to live past 30.
