THX 1138 Reviews

George Lucas’ debut film is largely dull, as it fails to gain any kind of momentum or intrigue. The end is just strange with some weird monkey creatures thrown in and a short motorcycle/car chase. Characters aren’t fleshed out enough to care about them. The concept is promising.

I don’t really remember that movie but I think I would give it 6,8/10

visually, audibly, and metaphorically genius. the subtle but at the same time apparent allegories served to the audience in this film are remarkable. absolutely groundbreaking most especially for its time.

Robert Duvall, w/Francis Ford Coppola & George Lucas behind the wheel. A little bit slow moving at 1st. Interesting and bizarre. Ending was kind of anticlimactic.

Watch the original version if you can. Great film from a young George Lucas.

7/10
fucking really weird. but cool

This is very solid. The second half takes a huge dip in engagement, but overall this is one of the more notable underrated science fiction gems in cinema.

Strange and interesting concept but meh execution at some points.

So real thinking about it now. Fuck all that chi shit. I wish it wasn’t there

7.8/10

Liked purely for the fact that visually this movie is brilliant. The visuals still hold up well to today’s films. Story wise it is strange and incohesive. Not quite sure what was going on the entire time. Stayed till the end tho, so I guess there’s that. Wouldn’t rewatch.

Great if you like quiet introspective scifi with no plot (think close encounters, 2001, etc). Great visuals though

I think that THX-1138 is unique and creative, but it’s overwhelmingly long and has no consistency whatsoever. Everything feels dull especially towards the end.

George Lucas debut. an interesting perspective on the future where every human is being controlled. Aren't we all indirectly controlled by our smartphones these days? Certainly not for everyone this film

all i can describe this as is if Stanley Kubrick directed The Matrix. so many parts of The Matrix were clearly inspired by this movie, like the red and blue pills. also a super dark ending which is rare for sci-fis. wish george lucas did more like this

half way

I can appreciate the symbolism and George Lucas’s intimacy (which I could relate to on a non-futuristic level), but honestly this just feels like a dystopian sci-fi abstract art film and is hard to grasp. I’d much rather watch Star Wars for a good time.
