Review of THX 1138 (1971) by Luke W — 25 May 2009

Before Lucas discovered CGI and set about making everything CGI'd he showed a lot of promise as a maverick director utlising his brain to get the shots he wanted instead of just CGIing everything (though the DVD version of this does have some later-added CGI monkey things).

There's a lot of good stuff in this film but sadly it's all visual. A definite case of style over substance. Equilibrium and Demolition Man have since taken the idea further.
