"Oz The Great And Powerful"
Last night I went out to see the new Disney film "Oz The Great And Powerful" in IMAX 3D and it was great. The story takes us on a wonderful journey and explains how the land of Oz becomes the place we all know and love from the classic movie "The Wizard of Oz". We start off meeting the wizard himself Oz played by James Franco a traveling circus magician. During a fight with a fellow circus performer he hops into a hot air balloon and takes off into a storm and when he lands he is in the land of Oz. This is where he meets a witch named Theodora played by Mila Kunis. She quickly falls in love with the wizard everyone has been expecting. They travel to the Emerald City to meet up with Theodora's sister Evanora who is actually the wicked witch. She sends Oz to go and defeat Glinda the good so that Evanora can take over the land. When he meets Glinda he sees the truth and quickly makes Theodora very angry and she turns into the green faced wicked witch of the west we have all come to know. The people of Oz have to go into battle to fight for what is right and to make the wizard of Oz king. The story is a great prequel and does a great job at fully showing us how everything comes to be in the land of Oz. Seeing this in IMAX and 3D is a great experience since the colors and graphics of the movie are so beautiful that you literally feel like you are in this other world. I recommend for everyone to see this movie. I would say there are some parts that might scare young children (my four year old had some scared moments) but in the end she loved the movie. Here is one of my favorite parts, the opening credits of the movie look so amazing in 3D it was very cool to see.
