'Coma' meets 'Logan's Run'


This was a reasonably good mixture of those two 70s "grim future" movies, though it probably would have been a bit more effective with a 10 to 15 minute trim. The Coma similarity goes without saying, while the lottery had Logan's Run "renewal on carousel" written all over it. Well worth a couple hours of your viewing life, though while it doesn't hit it out of the park, I'd give it a solid double, or at least 3 stars out of 5.

Meets "The Clonus Horror", who turns out to be that annoying friend who never knows when it's time to go home.

Yes mix all those together then add in about an hour and a half of needless chase scenes. Oh, and film it in some stock that looks like black and white with some colored lenses - I hate that look.
