THX 1138
Published by Benjamin 'Twitchy' Strack under on Saturday, May 17, 2008
Story - 1.6
Normal post-apocalyptic telling of mood calming drugs and the rebels who don't take them. No real twists throughout.
Cinematography - 1.8
Reminded me of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Real slow pacing. Shots were interesting but tended to linger too long.
Acting - 1.6
Characters didn't really feel very strong in definition. Robert Duvall does well, but it feels like many others could have done the part as well.
Overall Effect - 3.2
Felt overly long. Special effects are simply amazing, especially considering when it was made. Overall entertaining and definitely worth seeing at least once.
Final Score:
8.2 out of 10
Recommended if looking for: Trippy, Post-apocalyptic society

Which version did you watch, as the original didn't really have any special FX of which to speak, the recent version on DVD had new ILM FX added to it though.
