I do not understand your question at all. "Catch 22" is a very specific syndrome. I cannot see much common stuff with Soylent or Logan's at all. I think you have out-"thunk" yourself. Do you actually get the point of "Catch-22?"

I think your trying to blend genre's. Catch 22 could be applied to any time or era, at least the way I interpret it. Soylent Green and Logans Run are one persons idea on how the future might be but you also have to remember that those two movies were made in the seventies and the thought process was different then than it is now. Compare the current crop of sci-fi movies with the ones made thirty or forty years ago. Yours might be a philisophical question.

Logan's Run (one of my all-time fave-raves) and Soylent Green were really about population control. Catch 22 is about the rock and the hard place. Different concepts altogether.

Logan's Run was an excellent political commentary on the great prapoganda machines of society and how each of us can be "trained" into certain roles and with certain beliefs. A society convinced to voluntary give up their lives at age 30 is similar to how society has trained its solders to kill themselves on the battlefields in war. Propaganda and indoctrinating children is one of the most powerful influences that we have.
