You see things you never saw better, when you see it on the big screen. So glad we went!

This movie will always be a favorite. It looked so good on the movie screen as well the sound was so amazing. I remembered seeing it with my family on TV when I was a young lad as this film gave me such joy of happiness. Always love the witches palace guards and the costumes. Judy Garland has such a beautiful voice and her performance was Outstanding as well the rest of the cast.

So much better than watching it on your TV with distractions all around. At least once, you should watch this on the big screen. I've seen this movie a gazillion and a half times, but I've never noticed the Tin Man, Cowardly Lion's, and Scarecrow's facial expressions before. It's well worth it to go to one of these screenings and be in the dark theater, alone with the world of Oz.

Great on the big screen! Feel their emotions more deeply. So many details to enjoy e.g. faces of the little people - adults and kids.

Easton IMAX started the movie late...they completely skipped over the intro and the first twenty minutes of the movie. Very disappointing!

Movie was great, and to watch it on the Big screen will always be memorable. The only downside was the theater, seat are a little on the small size and jammed together.

So awesome on the big screen! Beautiful! Everything was just amazing. And to top it all off to think it was made 80 years ago. Amazing talents of ALL the people involved with the making of this movie. So glad we got to see it on the big screen finally.

The stream was interrupted at one point and the image froze/pixelated. Also, as the house was crashing the second time bringing Dorothy back home there was a bright flash on the bottom of the house with something in white written on it. Not part of the movie.

I have seen many times on TV. But to see and hear in a theater is the best. I enjoyed watching every minute of the movie and hearing how others in the theater reacted to the movie. Many of us joined in singing with the actors. It was just a great experience and I'm glad I got to be a part of it. Thanks

A masterpiece that was certainly decades ahead of its time.

In set design, choreography, performances and music, The Wizard of Oz is a brilliant bauble of collective filmmaking, in what may have been Hollywood's greatest single year. [06 Nov 1998]
