Barnes & Noble
The first feature-length movie directed by George Lucas, 1971's THX 1138 was actually an expanded version of the award-winning short film he made as a USC film student. It's far removed from the space opera of his Star Wars series. THX 1138 is a dour, futuristic tale about a repressive society in which sex is forbidden, people all look androgynous and have numbers rather than names, and individual freedoms are drastically curtailed by a soulless bureaucracy. Robert Duvall stars as the "malcontent" THX 1138, who yearns for something better after being imprisoned following his affair with LUH 3417 Maggie McOmie. He becomes a ...

Barnes & Noble
The first feature-length movie directed by George Lucas, 1971's THX 1138 was actually an expanded version of the award-winning short film he made as a USC film student. It's far removed from the space opera of his Star Wars series. THX 1138 is a dour, futuristic tale about a repressive society in which sex is forbidden, people all look androgynous and have numbers rather than names, and individual freedoms are drastically curtailed by a soulless bureaucracy. Robert Duvall stars as the "malcontent" THX 1138, who yearns for something better after being imprisoned following his affair with LUH 3417 Maggie McOmie. He becomes a fugitive, pursued by implacable robot policemen. The story line is somewhat confusing and some of the characters including SEN 5241 played by second-billed Donald Pleasence are not clearly defined, but Lucas grabs the viewer's attention with a succession of marvelous images achieved with fluid camerawork, harsh lighting, and minimalist settings. He paints a bleak picture of the future, staging much of the action within a labyrinth of bright white tunnels. Although THX 1138 isn't what you'd call an "actor's picture," Duvall keeps it interesting by virtue of his tightly controlled performance, which suggests much but actually reveals very little. The overall sterility of the piece keeps it from being truly engaging in the way that the Star Wars movies are, but Lucas's tyro effort has picked up a cult following that passionately defends this flawed but fascinating film.

    Intellectual visual feast

    An essential film to be studied by fans of early George Lucas work. You see in this film definite example of his style that can be seen in his other 70's work and is sadly missing in any of his latter projects. It's a remake of his college film course work of the same name and is a remarkable work for a first time director. The sterile world he creates for this film fully absorbs the viewer. It is visually exceptional.

    Lucas' best work

    A truly artistic masterpiece. THX 1138 is not something that everyone will enjoy. It is a movie that film focused intellectuals will find fascinating. It's one of the most beautiful works I've ever seen. It isn't as abstract or quite as good as 2001, but it is amazingly good in its own way. Philosophical sociological science fiction films are not for everyone. For the people that do like them, though, this is one of the best.
