Back in the day , they would devote a cover story to the latest sci-fi blockbuster and then proceed to eviscerate and trash said movie in the very same article !
The target of their ire in this case was LOGAN'S RUN, one of several sci-fi epics directed by the late Michael Anderson.
Mr Anderson also helmed MILLENIUM and THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES , still the finest piece of sci-fi ever filmed for television.
He also made the ill fated movie version of DOC SAVAGE which although slightly naff by todays standards is still an enjoyable watch.
Anderson was quite candid abut the problems he encountered filming DOC SAVAGE in a STARLOG interview which I'll post here soon.
In the meantime, here is the cover story on LOGAN'S RUN including THAT review :
First up the customary and beautifully painted cover :
Next the intro pages and already you know something is wrong :
Next up the script to screen analysis :
the next page has an image of Anderson himself on the set :
Despite such reviews , the movie was a box - office hit.
