A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, children of all ages would love this movie!

Rating: Null/10 (17 September 1999)

I think Star Wars episode I, the Phantom Menace was a good Sci-fi fantasy movie. A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, children of all ages also would like this action packed movie. This prequel. explains many things about episodes 3, 4, and 5. Anakin Skywalker is growing up and Obi wan is a Jedi in training.
The Special effects in this movie were great. One great scene was the trip to Ottogunga. It had big fish and the underwater area was great. Of course the lightsabers area still really cool. Darth Mal has a double bladed lightsaber which is quiet cool.
Action is one thing you'll not miss in episode one. From pod racing to lightsaber battles, you'll love it. A BIG battle was the Gungans versus the trade federation's troops, the battle droids. A big battle with of course high tech weapons and armory. Ah...lightsabers. Darth Mal has quiet a few battles. With Obi wan and Qui-gonn junn, this movie isn't boring.
So overall episode one is still a great movie with plenty of action and special effects. I would give this movie four and a half stars especially for the special effects. I just wish Jake Lloyd wasn't in the movie. This is one of the best movies you'll want to see.
