Absolutely spellbinding.
Lucas' first big movie, and it is intense.
A bleak look at the future including religion, sexual relationships, basic human needs, pain, torture, love... some of the dialog and background sounds come across like twisted poetry.
Now this is a FILM.

george's regrettable attempts at philosophy notwithstanding, he has always been good at retelling stories already told better in a visually engaging way...thx caught my attention immediately and, if you like scifi, i think it should sustain yours.
