So, you have beautiful 3-Strip Technicolor dimmed down by those glasses and the reviewer says, bascally, yeah, but the color's not that bad.
That IS old school. Get 3D with no glasses and then we'll talk.

No, I live in Australia. I said that. It played on the 7th and 8th only, and I was working.

OZ! Ok, sometimes I'm a little slow.

Never saw Oz on the big screen, so I will check it out.

Lol... I thought that might have been where the confusion was. It was supposed to start a week later and play for the whole week, but they changed the schedule at the last minute. I would have preferred the week long run, as I would have had time to see it. Oh well, can't complain. I'm sure it'll be back on its 80th or 90th birthday...

I'll definitely be checking this out as any excuse to see Oz on the big screen is a good one for me. There's just something about seeing a film you're familiar with with an audience, especially if that audience is made up of fans like yourself. It gives a fresh angle to the movie and reminds you of why you loved it in the first place.

WB's brought it to theaters for the 60th anniversary in 1999, the 70th anniversary in 2009, and now (a year ahead of) the 75th anniversary. I missed the '99 screening and caught the Fathom Events one in '09. Unfortunately, either the stream or the theater's projector had a skewed color scheme so that all of the greens were a blinding lime color, and pinks looked magenta. I still had a blast at that screening, though, so I can only imagine how exciting seeing it in IMAX 3D will be. This is in my top 5 favorite films, so I'll attend every re-release WB throws our way (likely the 80th next in 2019).

I'll be there. Very excited for it.

[Zero_Cool]

I think they did this a week after Oz tGaP came out. More power for people to see stuff.

[Atreyu]

Planning on it on Saturday afternoon.

[sukraj]

I have the movie on bluray and it looks sweet.

[Fortion]

definitly me and my friends

Saw this last night, and was certainly not blown away by the 3D process. There were occasional glimpses of crystal clear clarity, but for the most part, it looked like an old VHS image up on the big screen. Gonna have to stop going to these expensive old classic showings of films, if they can not do the source material justice.
