Review of THX 1138 (1971) by Johnny K — 13 Nov 2008
Well, this is my favourite George Lucas movie. No, not 'Star War.
Dialogue is minimalist, influence of European and Japanese movies are evident. I love the way the film's minimal certainly and as much is achieved by looks and body language as by spoken words. But what make me praise the film the most, however, is he extraordinary visual strength of the film. Even though it is pretty low budgeted, this film can still create a futuristic world that is completely different to the one in 'Blade Runner', 'Brazil' or 'Children of Men'.
In short, THX-1138 is an effective and memorable low budget film compare to the full of visual effect but plot-wise a fairy tale 'Star Wars' episodes.
