Poll: Phantom Menace in 3D Friday??
- Thread starter citrusfr00t
- Start date
I've seen the movie so many times that I could probably recall it in my mind completely. Its on tv every other month as well. So going to watch in the cinema is just gonna be boring, 3d or not.
Also, I agree with 370999, the Redlettermedia reviews on the star wars prequels are more entertaining.

Saying, "I have to go because I'm a Star Wars fan" is utterly stupid, by the way. That's like saying you have to drink the 6 month old carton of milk because you like regular milk. Phantom Menace was mostly crap, save for Liam Neeson and Ewan MacGreggor, but 3D is not going to make anyone else's performances anything more than one dimensional (ZING!).
It's the exact same movie as before, just with 3D special effects in order for Lucas to force-milk the cash cow out of Star Wars fans that feel like they "owe" it to him.
So, no. I can watch the original in all it's horrible glory and get the exact same experience, just with one less pod-racer flying out of the screen at me.

With all the votes to NO WAY! and the few votes to YUP and Maybe? the poll looks like its flipping the bird sideways. How very appropriate 
No.
Actually, I decided to watch the original trilogy of Star Wars after watching through the Red Letter Media take down of the prequels. Frankly, I couldn't get through A New Hope before I realized that Star Wars really isn't for me.
When it comes to setting, I can accept just about anything. Magical knights from outer space with laser swords? Yeah, I get that. Sounds good. Something I can really get behind.
The story, though? Nuh uh. Can't do it. It was just so entirely irrational.
I love the setting, but the story? Nope.

Regarding number two, are you implying you'd actually watch The Phantom Menace voluntarily?Marter said:
OT: The only prequel I liked was Sith, so I'm considering seeing the latter 4 films in the saga, but I also dislike 3D enough to forgo another Star Wars theater-going experience. I'm a bit conflicted about this.
I'll probably just buy the whole saga on Blu-Ray. Forunately, I can overlook the new Krayt dragon call and the new NOOOOOOO!
Bold: Wat.Marter said:Absolutely. I haven't seen any of the Star Wars movies, and someday soon will be doing a six-film back-to-back viewing.TLS14 said:
But now that you mention it, this is a great opportunity to watch the entire series back-to-back. Perhaps, if they're all released frequently enough, I'll actually go see them in theaters. Besides, the 3D might turn out pretty good. I think I'll give it a shot.
www.redlettermedia.com are doing something interesting on friday to do with star wars 3d. Especially as one reviewer is dead and the main reviews is promoting Star Wars 3d like a POW paraded on TV.
So watch it for that....redlettermedia....not starwars 3d which is a ripoff.
Remember, James Cameron hated films that added 3d afterwards instead of filing with 3d cameras. Now James Cameron is fine with it because he did the same with Titanic, adding 3d to a movie that wasnt shot with tv cameras. Big rip off. Also he said Avatar was meant to be seen in 3d, but released the movie in 2d on dvd....if he was so passionate about 3d then why release it 2d? I say money.

When I was younger, my parents didn't show them to me, and after I started caring to watch them, there were already four or five, and I basically just said "screw it."TLS14 said:
I do want to see them, though, and once I can find a copy of them all (for cheap, of course ;p), I'm going to watch 'em all.
As for the theatrical releases: They originally said that the plan was to release one a year. I don't know if that's frequent enough for you, or if they've changed it, but there you go.
I might, might, go see the re-release of A New Hope, if only because I've never seen it on the big screen and my local theater tends to get 2D versions of all the big 3D movies.
