You know exactly what you are going to get if it's a Michael Bay film. Judging from the comments I've seen about it. Pretty much anyone who saw "Clonus" instantly recognized it as a rippoff/remake. When I first heard about it, I started searching on the internet to see if it was acknowledged as some sort of a remake or if they were just lifting the plot wholesale.I have mixed feelings about Logan's Run actually. The novel it's based on is far better and more interesting. It was simplified considerably for the movie, with some significant liberties taken with the plot. Sanctuary did exist in the book and there was a major plot element involving Logan's nemesis that was completely dropped from the film. Etc and so on. The movie also dates badly, it is painfully obvious that it is a film from the early '70s. That said it wasn't a bad film for its era and it was interesting to see a book like that made into a movie. Though it wasn't the only example of that sort of plot. There was another movie made called <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063808/" target="_blank">Wild in the Streets</a> which quite possibly could have been a prequel to LR. Though the LR book came out in '67 vs '68 for WitS.</blockquote>
