Synopsis The Visionary First Film from George Lucas, Now inia Director's Cut A chilling exploration of the future is also a compelling examination of the present in George Lucas' THX 1138, starring Robert Duvall as a man whose mind and body are controlled by the government.

Customer Review ????? - 3.5 out of 5  (10/13/2004) I have to say, that I have never seen this film and picked it up simply because George Lucas directed it. He hasn't failed yet, but with this one he did. This, without a doubt, one strange movie. I didn't understand it at all. Visually, it is very unique and different. If you are a fan of the movies George did, then you might want this one, if not...avoid at all costs.

Many of the additions to the original Star Wars Trilogy were mere window dressings, and didn't really add to the impact of the story. With THX, the improvements and additions really enhance the story by making a better impact visually. The extras on thes   more >>
