Subject: A best in class dystopia Automated intelligent management of a decentralized society where its people are provided occupations not needed technologically as part of a computer program to maintain an unnecessary purchase-based economy of consumption where its drug-induced citizens are kept 'happy' in their semi-sedated state of consciousness via a legally enforced drug regimen in the midst of a religious-like ideology that worships the computer-run state in the human-like image of "Om" among a bureaucracy peopled by computerized mandate, a reluctant hero emerges as he is lulled away from this pseudo-paradise by the woman who, out of loneliness, tricks him into weaning off the meds and taking of the fruit of greater awareness allowing him to see the that he has been kept like a cold-blooded reptile in a maze of lifeless wiring, but in returning her love, leads himself into a social conflict that finds its resolution only in the hero's willingness to walk away from it all. - January 25, 2020A best in class dystopia

Subject: The original - accept no substitutes! You have performed a great service by uploading this - George Lucas is obsessed by "improving" his early work by adding CGI and it does NOTHING to enhance the film - it's just pandering to the lowest common denominator. Many thanks for this theatrical cut. In the continued absence of a DVD/Bluray release of this proper version, it is invaluable. - October 21, 2019The original - accept no substitutes!

Subject: Masterpiece restored This original cut of THX1138 is prophetic in its prediction of the future. It understands the human condition. The production is subtle and beautiful. All the actors are at the very top of their game. This is George Lucas' magnum opus. Unfortunately, the man lost it a couple decades later, and butchered THX1138 into the "director's cut" full of senseless CGI and modifications to the story. Literally everyone hates the "director's cut". There was one laser disc of the original cut, but after that the only thing available on home video has been the "director's cut". So bless you, bless you, whoever you are, for posting this masterpiece in its original form. I have been searching for this for decades. - July 14, 2019Masterpiece restored

Subject: Amazing People like you are amazing. Since George Lucas is a prick and doesn't want people watching anything other then his new ""improved"" CGI splooge-fest, its nice that you uploaded the original cut of the film. It's really sad when some person online cares more about the original cut of a movie then the director. - June 18, 2019Amazing
