Industrial Light Years

Rating: Null/10 (17 May 2002)

LOTR it isn't. Lucas can't write dialog to save his life, and even with a script doctor AOTC comes off as so corny the audience is given to uncomfortable laughing and giggling. But about three quarters of the way through this awesome roller coaster romp the special effects suddenly get to you and you say, 'ok, this is enough, game over', because it's just too spectacular. There are scenes there where so much is happening, like a video game with real actors, except - except what they're doing here is industrial light years ahead of what anyone else can do.
