Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the original novel, the colors of the Life Clock change every seven years: yellow (birth-6), blue (7-13), red (14-20), red and black on Lastday, and black at 21. According to the audio commentary, the movie changed it to 30 because it wasn't realistic to have a cast with all of the characters under 21.
- GoofsWhen Francis jumps down from the balcony, he is obviously headed for a spot at least ten feet from where Logan is standing, but when the shot changes we see him landing directly on Logan.
- Quotes
Box: Regular storage procedure. The same as the other food. The other food stopped coming. And they started.
Logan: What other food?
Box: Fish, and plankton. And sea greens, and protein from the sea. It's all here, ready. Fresh as harvest day. Fish and sea greens, plankton and protein from the sea. And then it stopped coming. And they came instead. So I store them here. I'm ready. And you're ready. It's my job. To freeze you. Protein, plankton...
- Alternate versionsScenes edited out:
- The Francis Hunt: The original opening scene had Francis 7 hunting a runner and shooting him backwards into a water fountain to applause from the onlookers. this was because it was deemed too violent for PG and would have got a R Rating in the US and either a AA (14 and over)/2021 15 or X (18 and over)/2021 18 in the UK
- Box carving an ice sculpture of Logan and Jessica. This was removed as they were fondling each other in a lovers' embrace and this would have meant an R rating in the USA and possibly a AA (14 and over)/ 2021 15 or even a X certificate/ 2021 18 ( Adults Only 18 and over) in the UK
- Francis and Logan meeting a woman on Lastday. They casually chat about it and this illustrates the society's indifference to death.
- Longer, racier version of sequence involving characters passing through an orgy shop. again this would have been R rated in the US and AA (14 and over)/2021 15 or X (Adults Only 18 and over)/2021 18 in the UK

Featured review
And I Thought Turning 40 Was Supposed To Be the Bad Age....
I must admit that I should be ashamed as a sci-fi fan: I hadn't seen this film until recently, and I wanted to better understand the parody from "Free Enterprise".
But I enjoyed the film.
Watching this film against the more recent glut of sci-fi films, I have to say that they made them a little more original back in the 70's-80's, instead of everything being techno-computer-CG-spaceship fights. A grim look at the downside of maintaining an "ideal", utopian society. When you hit 30, you either have the option of willingly submitting yourself to be killed under a pretense of renewal, or having the Sandmen play with you before they go in for the kill. Neither option seems really appealing. But the idea of one of the killers having to face their mortality is an interesting idea.
A little slow in places (but I did keep wanting to see what would happen next), and some of the special effects look really dated (even to '77's "Star Wars"), but the story holds up well, and it's an entertaining ride overall.
It's truly a classic of the genre, and I wish I had seen it sooner.
