An argument for the domes.


Once Logan and Jessica went outside, the movie really started to drag. It was fun watching people renewing and getting chased by the sandmen, but then we get a half hour of Logan and Jessica walking around, meeting an old man, talking about cats... Boring!

Finally Logan decides to take the long trek back to the city and we hear more boring ramblings from the old man, until they finally reach the city. Now it gets exciting again. We have Logan fighting the sandmen, getting captured, messing with the computer and the whole city falling apart. That's fun to watch. Except for the dying at age 30 part, life in the domes is much more exciting than life outside.

When life is based on hedonism, it becomes meaningless. They had no real freedom.

It would be fairly easy to control new births in such a place so I don't really get the 30-year rule.

I can only guess it would be because they didn't want to overcrowd it...
