    I have to agree with that review about the sci-fi cliches... to your argument about not focusing on "story", either have it or don't... doing it as half-assed as it was only serves to detract from the style and cinematography.

    If, say, Alien had been overly lit and had a guy in a big hokey suit, the poor effects there would take as much away as the poor story did in THX.

    Lucas has always created derivative stories, and they were never that strong - from THX up to Episode II, IMO.
