Since it was shot with state-of-the-art digital cameras, do you think Attack of the Clones will make for one of the best looking DVDs when it comes out in that format? The current comparisions would be things like Toy Story or Final Fantasy, both completely computer generated films.
One day, for better or worse, you may find yourself watching this movie every time you walk into a consumer electronics store ...

The digital cameras used are technically inferior compared to film in terms of resolution and contrast ratio.

  I mean when they transfer the film onto DVD, not in the theater.
undoubtedly... - geoffkait 12:14:07 05/25/02 (0)
it will be either MIB2 or Minority Report...
Who cares? - Harmonia 09:32:32 05/25/02 (9)
It's sure to replace Fifth Element as a demo disc, so at least it will be a change.
Imagine deathless dialog like "Annie? My how you've grown!" and the clash of light sabres, all in glorious surround sound, all day long in the showroom.
But it will look great.
OTOH, if some renegade AV retailer will spin LOTR DVD instead, I will buy my wide screen RPTV from 'em.

  no offense.

    You're just about the only person I've come across who didn't like this film; no offense, but AFAIC, Lord of the Rings is a masterpiece.

      The whole story concept was always so overwelming to me.
      For some reason, I just couldnt let my psyche go and throw myself into the complicated thing. To me, it required too much work, to pay attention to all of the story detail.
      A film experience based on could only short-change whatever work the author put into it. I would rather try reading the Classics Illustrated version of it...if there was one. Or Cliff Notes.

        Remember the quote from Lord Acton...'Power corrupts ....etc.'
        Watch it again with this line in mind......this is really the whole of Tolkien's point.

    LOTR was nothing special. Just another sword movie with all the worn out cliches and hooks. Monsters, midgets, sorcerers, magic sword (ring), good versus evil, etc.

      Lord of the Rings (the story) was the ORIGINAL swords and sorcery epic. And yes, many imitators have spung up.
      - Original ???? - drobo 15:32:30 05/29/02 (0)

        LOTR is hardly the original. What about all the classical mythology and literature such as the Old Testament of the Bible, Beowulf, King Arthur legends, Iliad and Odyssey, 1001 Arabian Nights?

    - Disagree.... - Harmonia 15:21:35 05/25/02 (0)
      Thought for a minute you were talking about AOTC.
  - None taken. - Harmonia 11:45:58 05/25/02 (0)
    I disagree.
