Consensus around the film Logan has been nothing but excellent. I’ve already predicted that it will be the highest grossing R-rated movie of all-time. Not that it was hard to predict considering it’s already close to being a third of the way there. The movie’s been getting a ton praise for its Western feel, attention to family values, and giving a very real picture of tormented lives who are haunted by their past but must face a potentially dismal future.
However, there’s something pretty disturbing that came out today. Is the entire movie simple a retold version of another movie that came out 20 years ago? Children of Men will always go down as one of the best post-apocalyptic films by critics and fans. The reason is because it gives a “realer” depiction of what life might actually be like in the future rather than some flying car, fancy ray gun society.
But the real question is if Logan took virtually all its plot points from Children of Men. It’s something that the writers at Cracked argue and make an extremely compelling case. I’m not going to share anything here because there are a ton of spoilers and I know that many of you haven’t seen Logan yet. However, if you did in fact see Logan, this theory is a very interesting read.
