Top Critics' Reviews

Fresh: I have a good many reservations about the film's ideas, but they are greatly outweighed by my admiration for a technical virtuosity that by fair means and foul achieves exceptional emotional intensity at the same time. – Roger Greenspun, New York Times, Jul 16, 2008

Fresh: With political paternalism rampant at both extremes of the spectrum, Lucas is onto something. In any case, we'll know for sure in about a generation. – A.D. Murphy, Variety, Jul 7, 2010

Fresh: The empty space surrounding the vulnerable man emphasizes the exertion involved rather than the goal of escape: like the hologram who came to life because he wanted to, THX finally achieves his humanity by an assertion of will. – William Paul, Village Voice, Jan 18, 2013

Fresh: This new, highly polished upgrade is a nice gift for science fiction fans. – Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle, Jun 24, 2010

Not the 1971 cut.

Though labeled as the 1971 cut of THX 1138, this is actually the 2004 version.
