Critic Reviews:

• " ‘The Phantom Menace’ is definitely the major reason most fans, even prequel apologists like myself, don't watch the Star Wars saga in chronological order. " – Jeffrey Lyles

• " The 3D conversion on this film is one of the best I've ever seen… and that's what makes it worth paying some extra money to see it again in the theater. " – Kevin Carr

• " I will say this: the time and money they spent working on this post-conversion is evident in the final result. It is technically very impressive. " – Drew McWeeny
