STAR WARS: EP. I--The Phantom Menace in 3D: 2/10/12

[TheGent]

Because not all films are 2.35:1. 16:9 was a happy medium and still a very common ratio for theatrical films.

I cannot tell, of all of my huge DVD collection, how little the number of movies that have 16:9, in fact I can't remember one at all. The big majority of movies still have two black borders! The other smaller part of my collection had that old format like those Rutherford Marple movies or the ealing studios stuff.

I can't imagine this looking very good as it's converted 3d but i'm still excited about seeing the whole series in chronological order. I would have rather had them release the 2D versions chronologically.

I'd probably go see that before I shell out the cash for 3D.

Ordered my tickets for the show on friday
Can't wait to see TPM on the big screen for the first time!

Rick McCallum recently stated that all SW re-releases beginning with TPM this year will show in both 2D and 3D.

So you can still go enjoy SW on the big screen even if 3D isn't your thing.

I thought these would only be in theaters for one day. Is that not the case?

 

[Khev]

Does this look like marketing you'd see for a low key one day release?

 

[pixletwin]

In my defense I do pretty much live in a cave under a rock so I haven't seen any promotion for this at all.

Wow. That looks....bad. It looks like Maul is hugging Obi-Wan and saying "Look Obi-Wan, customers!".

 

[Khev]

Wow. That looks....bad. It looks like Maul is hugging Obi-Wan

Maybe that's what he did right after he "revealed himself" to the Jedi...

The 3D pod race in Star Tours was awesome. Hopefully at least that scene translates well.

AOTC might actually fare the best with a 3D conversion. Coruscant speeder chase, asteroid chase, and arena/clone battle could look unbelievably awesome.

I think Slave Leia in 3D will beat all of those scenes. Too bad we have to wait till 2017 to see it.

 

[CelticPredator]

I'm more excited for whatever this may be....haha.

midnight launch anyone?

 

[Deak Starkiller]

I plan on seeing it in 3D. I actually enjoyed it more that I thought I would after watching it for the first time in years once the Blu-rays came out. I think years of fanboy hate has tainted a lot of peoples' view of the PT. Are the great movies? No, but I don't think they're as bad as some people think they are.

Of course there are those who will hate no matter what.

I agree Batty, time to simmer down now with our old age.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I prefer Menace to AOTC.

 

[BuddyGus]

How long is this running for?? Is it just this weekend?


I have to feel that the Lucas cash machine will run it for longer but the ads have lead me to think it was just for this weekend.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Got to be the month at least, no? Or like any movie, until it ain't making money. Not just a weekend.

This is the best thing to come out of TPM. I wish I remembered it.

[BadMoon]

If this were in IMAX I would go. Around here it's not. So I really don't see the point.

I remember going to those places to get the toys. I don't eat at KFC though so I never got any Coruscant toys
