Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)
Oz the Great and Powerful is Disney's fantasy prequel to The Wizard of Oz, released in 2013 and directed by Sam Raimi (Spider-Man, Evil Dead). James Franco stars as Oscar Diggs, a small-time circus magician and con artist who is swept from Kansas to the Land of Oz by a tornado, where he is mistaken for the great wizard prophesied to save the kingdom. Alongside three witches — Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams) — Oscar must decide whether to become the hero Oz needs or remain the fraud he has always been. The film grossed over $493 million worldwide and is a visually spectacular production, with Raimi's distinctive visual flair bringing the world of Oz to vivid, colourful life. The 3D Blu-ray presentation is one of the format's better showcases, with the transition from black-and-white Kansas to the full-colour world of Oz particularly impressive.
Highlights
- The Kansas to Oz transition — Raimi's homage to the original film's black-and-white to colour shift is beautifully executed; the moment the screen expands and Oz bursts into colour is one of the film's most purely cinematic pleasures.
- The 3D presentation — One of the better uses of the format in the Disney catalogue; the depth of field in the Oz sequences and the opening circus scenes are genuinely impressive and reward the 3D viewing experience.
- Mila Kunis as Theodora — The film's most interesting performance; Kunis charts Theodora's transformation from innocent believer to iconic villain with real conviction and emotional commitment.
- Sam Raimi's visual invention — The director's love of dynamic camera movement and practical-meets-digital spectacle gives the film an energy and personality that distinguishes it from standard Disney blockbuster fare.
- The world-building — The Land of Oz is rendered with extraordinary detail and imagination; the Emerald City, the China Girl's village and the Dark Forest are all visually distinctive and reward close attention on a large screen.
