THX 1138
James from Limerick, 19 Nov 2008
Cinematic remake of George "Star Wars" Lucas' film school debut. Set in an un-specified future date, it features a dystopia where the underground city populace is controlled by drugs, fed TV-violence & live executions. Sex is a crime, as in "1984".
Robert Duval plays the title character (yes, alpha-numeric designations have replaced names), who rails aginst the system, bringing disaster to his female roomate, LUH.
I found the novelisation more interesting, having not attended film school.
extremely boring

I thought this movie was very boring and frustrating to watch especially the way you could not hear what they were saying when they spoke to each other and had to read the subtitles.
I found myself at times fast forwarding the movie as nothing was happening fast. Got nothing out of this and was surprised that George Lucas was behind it. There are so many good movies to watch, don't waste your time with this one.
CLASSIC

George Lucas first film was exceptional. What happen, oh yea Star Warsl Your vision with THX 1138 was a reminder of George Orwell's
Animal Farm and the ever watchful eye of Big Brother or as they now call it The Nanny State. Excellent for those viewers and film buffs who appreciate originallity. A must.
Very poor

Very strange movie. You expect something to happen and it doesn't and it leaves you hanging on at the end wanting to know what would happen next. I wasn't impressed!
