We did a troop in the Ohio Garrison... it was an awesome troop (15+ people dressed; including Qui Gon, Obi Wan, podracing Anakin, 2 droids, giant foam Jabba)... what made it even better is that we got a private viewing of the movie for all of us that trooped, free popcorn, and free drinks
I actually liked this one because it was 3D that I can actually see (I can see depth into the screen, but not when it comes "out" of the screen at you.) The 3D really did make this movie better, but it was still the same movie that seemed to drag on for an hour too long.
You're right Tony, free movie, free snacks, private screening...what's not to like? TPM is my least favorite but here's how I look at it. Its Star Wars on the big screen, the pod racing, light saber duel, and space battle looked great, and every story has to start somewhere. Yoda looked much better this go round. Jar Jar and little Anakin moments were just part of the cost of doing business in this one. It will only get better from here. I also take solace in the fact that Jar Jar would eventually play a major role in enabling the creation of the Empire. 
I went and saw it this afternoon. It's The Phantom Menace, so what can you really say?
I really enjoyed the 3D though. I thought it was well done overall. Plus I have a nice pair of "commemorative keepsake" 3D glasses now.
Not sure what theater prices are like in other parts of the country, but I paid $11.00 for a matinee ticket, and another $12.25 for a popcorn and coke combo!
