Viewing Notes

Kicked off my birthday movie night with Lucas’ first feature film. I’m not a fan of the director’s cut as Lucas added some digital creatures and a few other things here and there that take away from its original raw, gritty early ‘70s vibe, but the rest of the film looks and sounds amazing. Walter Murch does such a great job with the distorted sound effects.
