We're in the future yet again and people are dressing in a very silly manner. Primary color unisex outfits. They also have upturned collars in the future. Just how far in the future do we have to go before we become imbeciles? No, seriously? Are we getting close? I demand an answer!

Beyond that I don't really care about this movie. It's Logan's Run again, and quite frankly I'm convinced that particular story will never be told to my satisfaction. 99% of the world's population is destroyed by a virus and now 400 years later in 2415, the remaining survivors live in a city with a controlled environment. This movie is slick, I'll give you that, but not realistic. CGI effects stick out like a sore thumb and most of them seem to be in the movie simply because they had a big old budget. This movie never grabbed me by the balls and pulled me along, and quite frankly, if such a movie stars Charlize Theron, that's exactly what I want it to do.

And I love Charlize. I think she's just about the most beautiful actress working today and the girl's got skills. I can only assume she got paid a whole lot of money to appear in this stinker, but she's not the only one who sold out. I mean what the hell are Frances MacDormand and Pete Postlethwaite doing slumming around? Ah, hah, hah! Now that's acting. Seriously, they were able to get through this movie while retaining straight faces. That deserves some kind of merit.

So we have three movies all of which suck. But don't give up hope, there's supposed to be a remake of the original Logan's Run coming out in 2007. Oh boy, is that going to be great!

And so I don't have any interest in really reviewing this movie for you, and I know you're a bit disappointed. To make it up to you I'm going to give you a bit of advice. When you win the Oscar for best actor or supporting actor don't turn around immediately and make an action movie. Let's take a look at three such stars who did just that. Nicholas Cage wins the Oscar for Leaving Las Vegas in 1995. He then turns around in 1996 and makes The Rock. Halle Berry wins the Oscar for Monster's Ball in 2001 and makes Catwoman in 2004. And then we have Charlize winning the Oscar for her role in Monster in 2003 and then she goes on to make this piece of crap in 2005. I suppose it could have been worse. They could have turned to Cuba Gooding Jr.
