Review: THX 1138

Rating: 3/4 stars
THX 1138 is the feature-length directorial debut of George Lucas. With it, we see a very different writer / director than from either Star Wars or Indiana Jones, both focused much more on narrative. With THX 1138, we see how much potential Lucas had. Not to say that Star Wars or Indiana Jones weren’t good, they just were good in a different way.
The movie is about 3 residents in a highly controlled dystopian future. Emptions are suppressed and laws are enforced by android police.
When watching THX 1138, one wonders where Lucas’s directorial talent went to. His choice of camera angles, sense of pacing, story telling, all stand in stark contrast to the rest of his work. In a good way.
