If you can, try to get a vhs copy of the film. It won't have the CGI Bullsh*t. As was mentioned, the non-cgi footage is so much more real, and gives the film it's characteristic, claustrophobic feel. The cgi car chase sequence, alone, destroys that feeling, and takes that air of the film away. Too bad.
@loudhvx Yep, I'm old school. The originals of most movies are usually unbeatable. Take 'The Manchurian Candidate' with Frank Sinatra... so much atmosphere, compared to the one with Denzel Washington. Or 'Day of the Jackal' which was a joke with Bruce Willis. Same goes with 'Failsafe' with the incomparable Henry Fonda, as opposed to the crappy remake with Richard Dreyfus. A lot of old movies are cheesy, but the great ones were genius which cannot be improved upon.
It's wasn't enough that he ruined Star Wars, he has to gut this movie too. Like the original SW movies, part of the charm of this movie was it's gritty visual protrayal of that world. But then you get to this CGI car-chase scene, containing some of the worst CGI I've seen. The Lola looks absolutely CARTOONISH. As is so often the case with CGI, the movement is just way, way off. A Lola Can-Am doing a stoppie when the brakes are applied? Please. Bottom line, this scene is just awful.
Why the hell did they feel the need to add the CGi city chase scenes?! They don't bloody match at all and it's too obviously CG and not very good either. About time Hollywood realised that the human brain is hard wired to pick out visual data that doesn't 'look right' The extra scene stands out like a zit on a super model...
I'm puzzled by the rationale. There's such a tiny amount of CGI throughout the DVD that it must surely have been done just for the trailers; and what point is there in trying to jazz up THX 1138? It's ponderous and inherently culty, and the DVD is never, ever going to fly off the shelves no matter how much work is done to it.
THX was one of his first films that got him noticed, Lucas being the "Perfectionist" he tries to be, will always return to his classic work, and touch it up alittle, but when we think bout it, watching this film, shows people that Lucas can make a serious film, even if it is still "Sci-fi."
Love this car chase at the end, and the CGI, tied into it. This is all stuff Lucas wanted in his original movie, but technology, money/budget and time were the restrictions then, what I love the most bout this film is the fact that Lucas was more or less fresh out of film school at the time he did this.
I LOVED the new remix film,much better than the star wars edits (muppets and plastic CGI),because SW.1 (pt4) was analog & needed that.But here the video PLUS new digital AUDIO is super sexy. I love the freeways parts because it looks like TOKYO! I think this is his best remix of his own works.Especially the cyborg scenes and other extra parts. Perhaps you have to have lived in Tokyo, and driven the industrial highways at night, to know what Bladerunner & THX1138 is really like. :)
new cgi is fail, old film was masterpiece, new version is very average, he even managed to ruin the timing. he doesn't seem to understand his own film//the claustrophobia was an asset, not a problem.
Same thing is to say about Star Wars, re-edit to do Special Edition ,and we can say about King Kong .A lot of people that plays with PlayStation prefer CGI dynamics BUT the great State Of The Art of Willis O'Brian is uncomparable respect Colorization or CGI effects
ah....this must be the "new" footage that the director formerly known as George Lucas (now known as a tired, old, ego-maniacle, stupid, and very out-of-touch no-tallent)....added via CGI.
As always with him...notice how much of it just doesnt fit, or look like the rest of the film.
Lucus is a supreme jackass of the highest order, and I hope he gets chronic diarrhea.
Tenia 7 años, y desde siempre he tenido la imagen de este Local conducido por Duvall, grande, magico, es real, lo tengo en lo mas dentro de mi retina, increible imagen.
at last a clip of the car without some shitty soundtrack added

Before that unfortunately the showbusiness would forced one great director to became a sort of SantaClaus of CGI...

Seriously, how many times was this movie "updated" over they years?
That car chase looked way to fancy for anything pre 1990.
