Logan's Run Blu-ray
Warner Bros. | 1976 | 119 mins | Rated PG | Nov 10, 2009
Logan's Run(1976)Drama | Fantasy | Romance | Sci-Fi     In the Year of the City 2274, humans live in a vast, bubbled metropolis, where computerized servo-mechanisms provide all needs so everyone can pursue endless hedonism. Endless, that is, until Lastday, when anyone who’s 30 must submit to Carrousel, a soaring, spinning trip to eternity and supposed rebirth. For more details about Logan's Run on Blu-ray, see the Logan's Run Blu-ray Review Starring: Michael York, Richard Jordan, Jenny Agutter, Roscoe Lee Browne, Farrah Fawcett Director: Michael Anderson Logan's Run Blu-ray, Video Quality  Logan's Run jogs onto Blu-ray with a decent 1080p, 2.40:1-framed transfer. Though the image looks consistently flat, much of that may be attributed to the mundane set design that doesn't do much to spruce up the image and populate it with objects that give more than a basic sense of depth to the frame. The sterility and smoothness of the dome play in contrast to the bowels of the forbidden zones behind the walls, and fine detail tends to become more visible as the movie moves along to areas that actually have more textured objects to showcase. Still, close- ups of clothing -- particularly the Sandmen's black and grey sweaters -- reveal stitches and lines well enough. Also, the 1080p transfer makes it particularly easy to spot the many wires holding up Carrousel's latest victims. Colors -- particularly those shades that represent the citizens' age, are bold and nicely rendered, and as the film moves into its second and third acts, additional shades make for a welcome reprieve from the doldrums of the dome. Black levels waver a bit, ranging from a slightly overly bright shade to deep and dark shades. Flesh tones are nicely rendered, and the transfer retains a layer of film grain that spikes over some of the more effects-heavy shots. A few vertical lines appear in places over the image, but they don't particularly distract from the film. All in all, Logan's Run isn't the stuff of high definition visual bliss, but it looks fairly good in every regard on this Blu-ray release. Logan's Run Blu-ray, Audio Quality  Logan's Run arrives on Blu-ray with an uneven Dolby TrueHD 5.1 lossless soundtrack. As for the good, the surround channels are used to fine effect in several instances, particularly during some early overhead model shots of the dome. The clarity and precision of Jerry Goldsmith's score isn't to die for; it's a passable rendition but won't be mistaken for a fresh-out-of-theaters modern presentation. Several sound effects play far too loudly at reference volume, and Logan's Run may have listeners scrambling to turn down the volume during much of the film. The first Carrousel sequence features thunderous applause from an eager crowd, but the effect sounds muffled at best and a jumble of not-at-all-pleasurable sounds at worst. This is a case where aggressive volume can't make up for lack of clarity, and the two combined make for a crucial segment in the film that's simply hard to listen to. Dialogue delivery is never unintelligible, but the track often places it at the far reaches of the front half of the soundstage, and while it's meant to replicate the location of the actors on-screen, it makes for more a distracting nuisance that seems detached from the picture. As the film goes on, a few effects tighten up and deliver a bit more of a natural and focused presentation, even accompanied by a fair level of bass, but more often than not the soundtrack plays as far too eager to spread things out so that it comes across as more unnatural than it should. Logan's Run's lossless soundtrack isn't terrible, but it has several distracting characteristics that often take away the pleasure of the moment.
