Ever go to your favorite restaurant and order your favorite meal. You’ve waited all week since you knew you were going to said restaurant and when your favorite meal that you usually order is brought out to you and you bite into it. Well then you find out it isn’t as good as it usually. All that buildup of excitement for your favorite meal and disappointment as it wasn’t prepared as good as it usually is. That’s how I felt after watching Star Wars: The Phantom Menace in 3D.
The Phantom Menace had a few cool scenes that
I thought would look pretty neat in 3D.
But they weren’t. I’m talking of
course about the pod racing scene and the light saber duel with Darth Maul, Qui
Gon Jin and Obi Wan. I felt that was an
opportunity that was not realized by George Lucas or whatever cronies that were
in charge of transferring the original film to 3D. The Phantom Menace could have been a good 3D
movie using the 3D Technology to have laser beams and space ships popping out
at you but alas that didn’t happen either.
The main reason for this is the fact that this movie wasn’t filmed for
3D in the first place and is only being released again to capitalize on the 3D
market that seems to be the craze right now.
But anyway
it was good to see a Star Wars movie back on the big screen. It will be a good time for younger fans that
may not have gotten the opportunity to see the movie in the theatres when it
first came out way back in 1999. I know
I did enjoy seeing it again on the big screen and probably would have gone and
seen it again without the 3D gimmick. So
if you are on the fence about seeing The Phantom Menace in 3D and expecting a
great 3D experience the only thing I can say is save your money and watch your
Blu Rays Star Wars set. But if you are a
Star Wars fan then go ahead and see it as the disappointing 3D won’t bother you
much. But at least see it during the
cheaper matinee showing.
