Variety
Logan's Run is a rewarding futuristic film that appeals both as spectacular-looking escapist adventure as well as intelligent drama.

Chicago Sun-Times
Logan's Run is a vast, silly extravaganza that delivers a certain amount of fun, once it stops taking itself seriously.

An enjoyable sci-fi that bedazzles the eyes and ears thanks to its (now classic) special effects, synthesizer score, set designs, and great chemistry between the Michael York and Jenny Agutter characters. For some it may come across as too cheesy and sometimes cliché, but to others, like myself, the film uses these negative qualities to enhance its charm and post-apocalyptic message regarding humans' overdependence on technology to govern their lives. The film reminds us all why its important for us to never forget who we are and to appreciate Mother Earth.

L’indulgence est de mise avant le visionnage de ce film, indulgence pour les « effets spéciaux », les grandes maquettes et les décors en bois et carton, sans compter les collages bien sûr !… Néanmoins, m’étant préparé psychologiquement, je m’attendais à pire, bien pire en vérité : tout cela fait sourire de nos jours mais reste tout à fait **** contre le goût étrange ne manque pas d’interpeller… une façon polie de dire que c’est de mauvais goût la plupart du temps. Non, ce n’est pas Star Wars (sorti un an après !) ni Star Trek (3 ans) mais ça peut rappeler Galactica dans le genre kitsch (le mot est lâché…).Cela étant, je donnerais bien un Oscar aux gars ou aux nanas qui ont torché ces jolis « costumes », enfin je veux dire toutes ces robes, ces petites robes, ces ‘robinettes’ portées par de si jolies créatures dont l’âge ne dépasse pas les 30 piges (Dieu soit loué ! Amen !) surtout que l’usage du soutif est strictement interdit (Gloria Alleluia etc !). Et je note à cet effet que la robe de Jessica-6 raccourcit de plus en plus tout en subissant les outrages du temps ou de l’aventure !Le film reste hélas trop long par contre, les raccourcis s’accumulent, de même que les incohérences, sans compter la fin très convenue, carrément expédiée, comme s’ils s’étaient rendus compte in extremis que les spectateurs de la salle-test.. dormaient déjà !Finalement, on hésite à cataloguer le film comme un nanar à gros budget ou un épisode-pilote d’une série souvent ridicule et bien débile… oh mais attendez, la série débile et bien ridicule est sortie l’année d’après ! ils ne doutaient vraiment de rien, les mecs !

Logan's Run is less interested in logic than in gadgets and spectacle, but these are sometimes jazzily effective and even poetic. Had more attention been paid to the screenplay, the movie might have been a stunner.

Empire
A sci-fi which balances big themes and claustrophobic action with apparent ease.

Newsweek
Since this isn't one of your deep-think sci-fi movies, you look for the happy hardware to get you kicks. [4 July 1976, p.102]

Time Out
The lavish production has some good effects sequences, but its plot is as corny as the dreadful lurex drape costumes and Jerry Goldsmith's slushy score. Fundamentally, this is just further proof of Hollywood's untiring ability to reduce all science fiction to its most feeble stereotypes.

Chicago Reader
A numbing combination of sloppy writing, vulgar art direction, high school acting, and bungled special effects—in short, par for the course for venerable hack Michael Anderson.
