Have y'all seen the theatrical re-release of The Phantom Menace? What was your experience? (narwhal.city)

Honestly, I was slightly let down by the experience fidelity-wise. Because of the CGI used, many elements were blurry here and there and because of the composite shots combining real elements with CGI, there were some moments where for example Jar Jar Binks would be blurry but the background would look normal. Also there were these weird pixelated colored dots that'd appear onscreen every five minutes or so.

But hey the audio was fine and the movie is WAY better than I remember.

I saw this at an AMC BTW

Thanks for sharing your feedback. I didn't make it in the end, but curious what others will say.

It's a bit sad that the CGI was blurry, I wonder if that's a general issue.

It's probably widespread, it's not that different than how it looks on my 2019 4K copy of the movie. It's just more noticeable because it's on a huge projector.

I do hope that the splotchy pixels issue was isolated to the theater I went to though. I found it bizarre and have never seen anything like it at a theater before.
