Clone Wars, Volume I picks up where Attack of the Clones left off, and if you enjoyed that movie (I did), you should have a blast with this. Clone Wars aired as a series of shorts (watchable here as an uninterrupted whole) detailing the war that begins at the end of Episode II and ends in Episode III. There isn't really a great deal of plot (and no essential plot) that happens between the two films, so Clone Wars focuses mostly on the action, which is just fine. This isn't meant to be a stand-alone film, by any means. If you're one of the few people on earth who have never seen this whole "Star Wars" thing, this isn't the place to start, but if you have, it's a great addition.
Some highlights:
1. While this is also true for any video game that carries the Star Wars brand, the inclusion here of John Williams' great music, and a lot of the familiar sound effects from the films, goes a long way towards making this bona fide Star Wars.
2. It's in widescreen. I haven't had the chance to check out the surround sound options yet, so I won't comment on those. The story being told here is epic, involving huge fleets of starships and big armies of droids and clones and Jedi, and making it widescreen is absolutely essential.
3. It's Star Wars! The visual style of the show lends itself well to the Star Wars universe, and the crazy aliens and monsters and such which inhabit it. My only gripe here is that in some cases the Jedi are a little too much like Superman, but this is carried over from the prequel films.
The only thing for a fan really not to like here is that this really ought to be packaged and sold with [[ASIN:B000BCE8Q4 Star Wars - Clone Wars, Vol. 2]]. There's no reason to own one without the other, and putting them together would be a nice excuse for some schnazzier packaging, and maybe a few more DVD extras. Fortunately, you can get both volumes without spending too much.
If Tartakovsky and co. ever decide/are allowed to make another one of these, set between Episodes IV and V, sign me up. |
