Back to a galaxy far, far away

Rating: 6/10 (2 July 1999)

George Lucas' fourth installment of the Star Wars saga gives us the chance to return "home". Most of the X-Geners out there grew up with the Star Wars trilogy. Now it is time for the N-Geners to do so.
With impressive special effects, a well written story and a lot of new (and old) characters, Episode I takes us back to a galaxy far, far away.
Most professional reviews criticize Jar JAr Binks (the comic relief), or the lack of intrincate "Clancy-like" plot twists. I'm sure this is a movie for all ages, that captures children as well as grown-ups.
So, be a kid again. Go back to Lucas' universe. Forget our everyday problems.
It's Fantasy! Enjoy!
