The Wizard of Oz is regarded as the most-watched movie ever but initially underperformed at the box office. Its popularity surged after its 1950s TV airings. Starting August 28, an enhanced version will be showcased in Las Vegas' Sphere, featuring impressive visuals on 16K LED screens and immersive elements like fire and wind. Early previews received enthusiastic responses, with comparisons made to an extraordinary audio experience. Critics described it as a detailed and reimagined feature that elevates the viewing experience significantly beyond traditional screenings.
"The Sphere version of The Wizard of Oz has been retooled to fit the venue's curved shell, with images enhanced and expanded to fill four football fields' worth of 16K LED screens."
"According to USA Today's Melissa Ruggieri, the new version of Oz is an exhaustive, finely detailed endeavor, offering an immersive experience akin to listening with high-end studio headphones."
