Electronic Labyrinth THX 1138 4EB is the precursor to the cult film THX 1138, made by George Lucas in 1971. This student film is the basis for that film. It is relatively interesting for a film made by a university student. It has a lot of very interesting shots, it's visual design is pretty cool, and it provides a very interesting look into the origins of the 1971 film if you happen to enjoy it (like me).
The film follows a man's attempt to escape from a dystopian society the sometime in the far future. For viewers of the remake, the beginnings of ideas from the more famous version can be seen in this film, such as the portrait of Jesus Christ that becomes the societies deity, OMM, can be briefly seen during this film. While this is pretty cool, it also emphasizes that this film is almost nothing without the later version. If you were to see this without seeing the original first, I doubt you would be able to follow this one very easily, as it is rather confusing and a lot of the dialogue is heavily altered and difficult to understand.
Overall, an interesting little curiosity piece, but only for fans of the original.
