I saw the oft-maligned film in theaters for its 25th anniversary, and it was a surprising experience

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace is historically significant for many reasons: it was the first Star Wars movie in nearly 16 years, the last Star Wars movie shot on film, and a polarizing, pulpy entry in the storied space fantasy franchise. It debuted on May 19, 1999, 25 years ago almost to the day, and earned over $1 billion at the box office, despite mostly mediocre reviews.

During the massive third-act battle between the Gungans and the Separatist’s Droid army, I cringe at how much the bright-green grassy field and impossibly blue sky looks like a Halo 1 map. My partner later tells me it’s because we watched the DCP version of the film, which de-noised the graininess of the original and toned down its warm palette, making the 25-year-old CGI look even worse.
