Also great is the lush, metropolitan planet of Coruscant, obviously inspired by images from Fritz Lang's Metropolis. While initial criticisms of the trailer were that the film looked far too digital, the CGI translates well onto the big screen. This includes the character of Jar Jar Binks. While anyone over the age of 12 might tend to find him annoying, his animation is lifelike and spectacular. The animators had a field day filling up each frame with droids, aliens and crea- tures of all kind. Repeated viewings are a must, to truly enjoy what exactly hap- pens in each frame of each scene. Granted, the Phantom Menace is not beyond criticism. The two headed announc- er during the pod race sequence made me sick, and the Gungans seemed a little too Ewok-esque in their cuteness. But besides these minor details, the Phantom Menace is a spectacular film, loaded with blaster guns, cool space ships, freaky aliens, heroic good guys, and terrifying villians It's definitely a movie to be enjoyed by kids of all ages, and a movie meant to be watched over and over again. It's everything the classic Star Wars films were. It even ends on an ominous note, with plenty of loose ends to drive you crazy until Episode Two comes out, just like in the original trilogy. After years and years, it's nice to see George Lucas still has the touch.
