He's... not too fond of it. To be fair, I can see why.

I rather like it, but it is very much a product of its time. The funkiness factor is high, to be sure.

I hear they keep trying to remake it, but it never quite happens.

For the most part I agree.

Yeah, there's a good message and theme here... but the execution has not aged well.

Never seen it, and now I dont want to. As most people here know, I can't stand old style movies and crappy special effects. But then again... titties...
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Majority of the campy movies like Logan Run iI have seen was when I was a kid.

Of course I willing watch 1950's Era monster flicks that a lot of them are so bad that they are good.

Indeed. But the movie - dated as it might be - would have been worlds better if it had followed the novel a sight more.
