At the movies : THX-1138

THX-1138: 3

George Lucas' first major film, I think.

It barely made a 3.

The story of a man trying to escape a very insulated, controlled, underground society.

Minimalist sets in some areas. I was impressed with some of the vehicles he used. They looked like high dollar sports cars.

I never felt I really connected with the plot. Robert Duvall had very little dialogue as the lead actor. I'm sure the minimalist dialogue was related to the fact that the society was very rigidly controlled - even speech did not happen very freely.

I was amazed that the society let children play in the one scene that they show of children.

Kim would not have enjoyed it. I can't really say I *enjoyed* it, but I'm glad I watched it.
