The Phantom Menace all over again

Rating: 5/10 (1 March 2010)

Seriously, what was/is the fuzz all about? I wanted to see this movie in a 3D IMAX theater, so I had to wait for 2 months as the theater was constantly sold out. By this time all my friends had already seen it.
The IMAX version started with an IMAX 3D introduction clip that really blew me away. I thought 'this will be great.' But then the movie started and within 30 minutes I lost interest. The story was just too stereotypical and the only thing that was left was CGI. Oh, look, beautiful renderings of unknown worlds. Boring. And, to be honest, I found the 3D to be very distracting and not adding anything at all.
After an hour and an half I walked out of the theater. I wish I hadn't gone for the '3D IMAX' experience, because I think I could have enjoyed the movie more in a normal '2D' theater. 5/10
