Movie #267 "THX 1138" was a disappointment.............slow m-o-v-i-n-g, not much in explanations, dark and glum. It needed a better way to introduce the society because things happened way too quick and we were treated as onlookers and just got more confused as scene after scene crept slowly and deliberately by. I did like the visuals and the sound, though. And it's a prestar wars film of George Lucas, so that's worth something. I don't recommend it, though, unless you LOVE sci fi and want to see Lucas' visuals and sound at work. But I'd take his other pics any time over this one.

THX 1138
(1971) R
In a dystopian future that mandates drug use and outlaws sex, THX 1138 (Robert Duvall) and LUH 3417 (Maggie McOmie) rebel against the status quo. But when LUH winds up pregnant and THX is jailed, only a fellow prisoner (Donald Pleasence) can help THX escape. George Lucas based this futuristic love story -- his first feature film -- on an award-winning short he lensed while he was still in college.
