The adventure that brought life to sci-fi movies

Rating: 9/10 (24 March 2000)

When the Special Edition of Star Wars was released at the cinema most people wondered whether altering the movie was a good idea. It was as the movie looks the way many people envisioned the story. gorgeous described the original movie but the new cityscapes show how digital effects are going to revolutionize the way sci-fi and fantasy look for the next twenty years just as the original did for the past twenty. The only criticism was that Han`s character was remade as too much of a good guy [re: the tavern shooting]. The appetites of the cinema going public have been wetted for the "continuing" [?!?] Star Wars story. We can only hope "The Force" is really with George Lucas and whoever gets to direct ep`s 2 & 3...
