Oh, no!! Here we go again with yet another preposterously bleak and suffocatingly stupid Sci-Fi tale that seems determined to tell us all just how horrible man's future is destined to be.... Spare me! Originally released in 1971, this particular version of THX-1138 was George Lucas's "Director's Cut" which, in 2004, was given something of a face-lift where new CGI footage was added to its storyline to give its claustrophobic settings and bleak backgrounds more pizazz. Unfortunately THX-1138's story was such an awful bore from start to finish that any visual improvements only proved to me what a hopeless dud this futuristic tale actually was without these modernizations. To me, THX-1138 was one of those super slow-paced movies whose story was so utterly absurd (and the dialogue so demented) that I swear they were actually making this idiotic nonsense up as they went along. Yes. It was really that bad. I certainly wish that I wasn't speaking so negatively about this picture (which I think had a lot of potential), but I'm sure not going to tell you a pack of glowing lies about a movie that I thought was just a huge heap of pure Sci-Fi excrement. If nothing else - THX-1138 certainly proved to be an excellent sleeping pill for this disappointed viewer.
