Comments

THX 1138:4EB is an impressive little film. The film's plot is the stripped down core of the feature film made by Lucas several years later of the same name. It is amazing what Lucas has achieved at a student level. The locations are amazing. The editing and sound are great. Lucas achieves a future world with so little. By the way, you can get this movie on DVD.
