10 Dystopian Movie Futures You Really Wouldn't Want To Live In

5. Logan's Run

Logan's Run is one of those futuristic films that, at first, doesn't seem like their society is all that bad. Everyone's youthful, attractive (and if you're not, plastic surgery is quick and painless), and seem like they're dedicated to having a bit of fun. But then you realize what the mysterious Carousel is all about, and it doesn't seem quite as awesome anymore. Yeah, you've got a pretty sweet life set up for yourself, but as soon as you turn thirty, the party's over. Because once you're out of your 20s, the crystal that's stuck into your hand to mark your age turns black, and you're off to be reborn or brutally murdered (depending on your level of naivety). That's one way to avoid overpopulation. So to sum up, you either die at 30, or have to go on the run, hiding from police officers called Sandmen for the rest of your pitifully short life. What a choice. Maybe it's just the fact that we're coming up on thirty a little bit faster than we'd like, but this sounds really just incredibly awful.
