About this movie

Experience the heroic action and unforgettable adventures of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. See the first fateful steps in the journey of Anakin Skywalker. Stranded on the desert planet Tatooine after rescuing young Queen Amidala from the impending invasion of Naboo, Jedi apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn discover nine-year-old Anakin, a young slave unusually strong in the Force. Anakin wins a thrilling Podrace and with it his freedom as he leaves his home to be trained as a Jedi. The heroes return to Naboo where Anakin and the Queen face massive invasion forces while the two Jedi contend with a deadly foe named Darth Maul. Only then do they realize the invasion is merely the first step in a sinister scheme by the re-emergent forces of darkness known as the Sith.

Turgid, at times incomprehensible plot. Too much CGI. Not even the star-studded cast can do much to improve the awful plot scenes and stilted dialogue. A jumped-up firework show of a movie. Definitely one to avoid.

Me parce una muy buena película la trama de qui goon y Anakin me facina y Darth mail es impresionante, la amenaza fantasma me encanta y verla es espectacular Una cosa mala es la política ya q es muy confuso ya q no sabes quiénes son los buenos y quién son los malos Y así tiene muchos errores pero no me importa lo q digan a mí la amenaza fantasma me encanta y está en el top 6
