Phantom Menace's printed format, other than 35 mm, was digital for DLP-equipped theatres. It wasn't shot digitally at all, other than digital effects.

There is one scene, near the halfway mark, which was shot digitally, using a prototype of the F900 that they decided to test. But that's it.

ah... we have seen that many times (like in the matrix when morpheus goes through the bathroom wall) but the ground one is particuarly interesting =). i don't recall any big pictures (except the recent underworld) that seems to have that.

I dont know I really did not enjoy this film very much. For a thriller it was shockingly predictable. Tom Cruise always puts a certain amount of depth inot his characters but he's just a far too likeable actor to play this role. I'll always see him as the Tommy in Top Gun and A Few Good Men. As for the HD sections they really looked pretty bad very flat and paleish, with obviously less resolution on long shots. If you want to see good HD go rent The Company by Altman. Most beautiful use of the video medium I've ever seen.
