Classic science fiction movie. Fantastic.

This will not be for everyone. Star Wars fans should definitely watch. Good final act and the Lola cars with afterburners are cool.

George Lucas' first film is a very bleak one. an underground "prison", sex is outlawed & people are controlled... remind you of something?

Hard to believe Lucas started with this experimental film, but he did and it’s good.

Groundbreaking, not my favorite dystopian movie, but important to the sci-fi genre. Visually very impressive, especially for it's time.

Not a masterpiece. The sound/set design and cinematography are fantastic. But fuck George Lucas for hiding the original version

A very influential and interesting Sci-Fi film from a pre Star Wars George Lucas, quite a slow burn but has some fantastic visuals

A cold, clinical, and imaginative dystopia is crafted by George Lucas in what might be his best film. 8.5/10
