This is a heavily cut version of Phantom Menace, the biggest change being the entire removal of the gungan / droid battle at the end.
On the plus side the movie moves incredibly fast and feels much more like a simple adventure. Unfortunately, on the negative side, it feels like huge chunks were crudely taken out of the movie and that not enough attention was paid to the micro-editing; a lot of “yippies!” are left and a lot of the overall silliness remains. The sometimes sketchy audio transitions didn’t help.
I still had fun; Phantom Menace is my favorite of the prequel trilogy but lack of micro-editing and the occasional brutal audio transitions made me slightly disappointed.
6/10
