I saw this movie for the first time tonight, I have never
seen the original. I was shocked to find how completely
different this film is from what we all know of George
Lucas. The cinematography and treatment seemed more along
the line of something Kubrick would do. Anyways makes you
think of the potential Lucas had when he was young, not to
say that his other movies totally suck. Anyways was curious
to know what u guys thought of this film.

THX1138 is not a bad film at all by any means and does show
what the boy Lucas could do. It is though, you have to
admit, quite dull.
As for his later output, you can't say he's done too badly
out of it.

The extras are really worth it, especially the documentary
on Disc 2 about American Zeotrope. There's also a great
audio-only isolated track on the DVD (I know I'll sample it
in some future work of mine), and a nice commentary track.
Don't buy the single disc.

I still wonder why that film wasn't nominated for Sound or
Sound Editing at the Oscars back then. Probably way ahead
of the people back then.
