This blu-ray is feature packed with hours of bonus features including the original student film that THX-1138 is based on. The audio and video of the are both noticeable upgrades over the 2-disc DVD release. Missing from this set, although also absent from the DVD release, is the original 1971 theatrical cut of the film which would have been a nice archival inclusion to see the progression of this film from it's origins as a low-budget student film to a complete bells and whistles final cut, much like what was presented in the multi-disc set of Blade Runner that was also released by Warner Brothers. The film itself is a dark, dystopian sci-fi film very different from the Star Wars films that Lucas is most known for. It's thrills are far more cerebral than the serial inspired Skywalker Saga. If you are looking for something different than the usual sci-fi blow-em-ups, you could do worse than to give this one a spin.

This is a movie that has a good story behind it, and that is what a lot of movies that are made today are lacking. Today is all about action (yes it can be exciting) but that is all it is and to me the movie then feels unfinished. I feel movies have to have a good story in order to make it a good movie. One big aspect that i love about this movie is that Gorge Lucas is a sound type of guy. He doesn't use visuals as much as he does sound but with the way he does it he doesn't need the visuals. He can make the image only with sound. Another aspect that is fascinating about this movie is that you can see pieces of Gorge Lucas's other movies in this one.

This is great Sci Fi just don't expect an adventurous film like Star Wars George Lucas first effort is more Thought provoking

I guess I just wanted a bit more out of the story, but not a bad movie. Blu-Ray warning: if the movie doesn't load, plug in an USB drive into your Blu-Ray player.
