I wasn't lucky enough to see an all digital showing, but for me, it put me to sleep.

Within the first few minutes of the movie, I wondered "Why do I not like this?" Some of the answers that occured to me:

1. Too cluttered a look

2. It doesn't look like anything real

3. The cartoon looking characters

4. The bad acting -- Those stale scenes with Anniken and Natalie Portman and his horrendous delivery of lines.

5. The ridiculousness of the economics to have such civilizations.

6. Prequel idea not executed well. Ideally, the story should hold it's own and be gripping in its OWN RIGHT. These Star Wars prequels were about setting up the original, rather than coming up with a great story that would involve us.

These 3 movies are just far removed from the originals in terms of the quality of the story telling.

I liked this one more than Episodes I and II but had to really try to stay interested. Not surprisingly, another disappointment.
