As much as I like THX-1138, it's a bit of a single note film and certainly doesn't have the depth of world building that Star Wars has.

- prepend 3y agoI feel like it established some pretty common elements in sci-fi (eg, the violence channel) and was the first time I saw on film concepts from Huxley’s Brave New World. It’s a low budget movie and I think it’s ok to be a single note film. But that note was really unique on 1971 and seems rote because it’s sort of baked into the “consumerist hedonist dystopia” that’s very common now.
- pingohits 3y agoDefinitely agree, but I feel it's worth watching for the cinematography / set design alone.
- dogma1138 3y agoMuch of the world building of SW was done by the fans, Lucas really knew how to build a brand even back then.
- ndsipa_pomu 3y agoYes, but the world(s) looked "lived-in" with the beaten up droids etc.
