Just saw Star Wars last night.  It's great.  The 3d special effects are
great.  There were some scenes that I knew had to be 3d but to be honest I
couldn't see any of the tell-tell signs showing that it was 3d.  I'm pretty
sure I liked Darth Maul over Darth Vader.  The guy just looks like he is
pure evil.  The fight scene with him was captivating.  Make sure you go see
this one.

I thank you for not spoiling it. I can't see it yet until 20th of AUGUST!
*growls*

And, I know critics. They are... well. I tend to invert the scores and decide
after that. *hehe*

  It all looked pretty seamless to me, too. Both the Gungan and Battle
Droid forces had me wondering how it was done on such a large scale.
My first thought was motion capture technology and then digitally
removing the real people. Their motions were very natural. I'm
thankful they didn't use Ewoks!

  The digital landscapes were beautiful!

  I won't discuss some of the more unique heavy weaponry used in the
film for fear of spoiling it for the other members of our group who
will not have the opportunity to see it for themselves until later
this year <sigh>.

  I had read that Ray Park (Darth Maul) is highly skilled in martial
arts but it was an amazing thing to see both McGregor (Obi-Wan) and
Neeson (Qui-Gon) perform almost all of their ferocious lightsaber
battles with the Sith Lord. Very intense and believable.

  I'm going to see "The Phantom Menace" again on Friday morning.

If it helps a little I've heard some rumors that some of
the release dates may be bumped up. I don't really know
any more than that. They are of course just rumors...

I've heard it isn't too good a movie anyway. If I see it at all it'll
probably be from a DVD sometime in the early part of next century.
What...? You don't know a fib when you see one?

1999, exactly 1 month after the moon gets out of orbit... Well, that is
according to Space 1999 :-)
