A little help: I've never seen a 3D film before but I have suffered from motion sickness in the past from light shows and so forth. Will the 3D make me sick? If so, is there anything I can do to prevent it as I really want to see this film.
The Phantom Menace 3D Release
- Thread starter Candlelight
- Start date
It shouldn't make you sick, you might get a headache if you're wearing glasses but nothing else.

so what are the benefits of seeing this new version at the cinemas? is it just the better quality or do you need to have the 3D glasses?
Because some fans are self-righteous, spoiled shittards. They think STAR WARS is public domain and that they have the Constitutional right to the movies and TV shows that they think are "correct" and "proper." And when Lucas doesn't make a four-star movie along the lines of A NEW HOPE or RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK they feel a deep, personal sense of anger and betrayal that the bearded man in flannel didn't give them what they specifically asked for or demanded by birthright.
Put simply, it's an entitlement attitude.
It gives more money to the people who made the movie. That's the benefit.
I might add they are getting this money for practically no work.
My freakin' TV will create a 3D image out of ANY TV show. And it's surprisingly good. Movies that were made in 3D post production don't do much of a better job.
I doubt they did much more than simply plug the original movie into a 3D algorithm, similar to what my TV does for free.

this probably true for a lot of people. EP1 is still good imo. it just didn't live up to the hype when it was released.
I doubt that anything could have. The hype pre TPM was way too high, way too intense. Nothing short of perfection could've lived up to that tsunami of hype.
How good was the 3D conversion?
The pre-May 1999 hype for Episode I was such that nothing on this planet could have possibly lived up to it. It was a collection of some of the most unrealistic movie expectations I've ever seen in my life. I wanted and hoped for the film to be very good, but it had been sixteen long years since the last SW movie and the previous episode itself(JEDI) had been largely a qualitative step down from the first two in the saga.
Expecting Episode I to be the next CITIZEN KANE was just a collective case of naive and unrealistic wishful thinking. And then when the film didn't live up to the fantasies the militant fanboys had for it they call Lucas a traitor, hack or worse.

QFT!
The only comparison that comes close for me was the original Batman movie. There was SO much hype and commercial tie in.. My best friend saw it and went with me a week later.. He was so excited to see it again and got really mad when I leaned over about halfway through and asked him when the good parts were going to happen.
That said, I will always be fond of TPM and REALLY look forward to taking my son to see it this weekend. He's pretty low key for an 11 year old, but he's keyed up for this!
Episode I is a good movie.
It's not going to wind up in the National Film Registry...but it's a good movie.
I'd rather watch two hours of Episode I than twenty minutes of AVATAR. Yeah. You heard me. I went there, bitches.

This fits my earlier point exactly. AVATAR was completely bland and forgettable film I have no desire to see again. But I won't waste my life whining about it.
