Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace 3D
In 3D, you can get even closer to Qui-Gon Jinn's noble end.


Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace 3D
Plot
The peaceful planet of Naboo is under threat from the manipulating forces of evil at work in the Trade Federation of a galaxy far, far away. The Queen of Naboo, the powerful Jedi knights and a young boy with intimidating promise endeavour to defend justice and the forces of good.


Verdict
Thirteen years on, the lightsaber battle and podrace still thrill on the big screen, the rest less so. As for our first look at Star Wars 3D, the transfer is okay but less than stellar.
