Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Cool movie from the recent past
I remember this movie with it's well written storyline from some time ago. It's a movie you will not so quickly forget, with it's color and special effects and a very interesting story. You'll be cheering to the end of the movie. Well worth seeing!

A future exploration from a 1976 perspective.
This film is a favorite of mine and is the best I have ever seen it. The Blu-ray is well done- colors are vibrant, people and objects are sharply defined and sound is very good. I am very pleased with this new Blu-ray upgrade.
This sci-fi film still holds up well in my view. There is no CGI, but that is fine. The director, technicians, and crew had to use their wits and special creative skills to create the scary world of tomorrow where death comes to all on the carousel at the age of thirty! The people in the film believe that they have a chance to be "renewed" and live again. However, the computer that runs the whole city and controls the carousel is really killing all of the people who have reached the age of thirty. The computer controls every aspect of the people's lives- even reproduction as well as life and death.
Michael York is a "Sandman"- a policeman who kills all "runners" on orders from the computerized system. He is designated to find what the runners call "Sanctuary"- which is supposedly outside their domed city. The trip out into the sunlight and the ruins of Washington, D.C. is interesting and well done from a cinematic point of view.
The whole film is well done. Acting and direction are all excellent. Peter Ustinov was super as the old man!
It was very good for me to see this old favorite film again. I recommend it to all people who want a sci-fi action drama that will also make you think.

Better in Blu-ray
I saw this film at the cinema in 1976 when it was released. At the time I thought it was amazing. It stars Michael York, Jenny Agutter, Richard Jordan, Roscoe Lee Browne, and Farrah Fawcett-Majors.
It takes place in 2274 after many disasters have driven people into a large Domed city. People live in a carefree hedonistic utopia where all of their needs are taken care of by computerized machines.
Theres just one catch. You can't live past the age of 30. On your thirtieth birthday, you must Renew. That means being killed by high energy Lasers, only the people don't know this. If you don't renew and decide to become a runner, you are chased down and killed by Sandmen(York and Jordan).
A series of events takes York and Agutter from the city to the outside remnants of Washington D.C. where they meet Old Man played by Peter Ustinov. If you want to know what really happens next watch the film.
