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.
- 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
- ConnectionsEdited from The Wreck of the Mary Deare (1959)
Featured review
A really good use of models, second best use of models I've seen in film after Metropolis, which this looks like it follows, also this shows the way to many other films and looks like it shows the way to Blade Runner, Brazil and Total Recall, just to name a few.
I think its a brilliant story, the old man in the building in Washington, it is really believable.
The models are really well made and used, and this reminds me of old Dr Who episodes (which I love more than the recent, for the models and badly made suits).
A must see if you like sci-fi films, like the ones mentioned before.
