We recently saw the Wizard of Oz at the Sphere in Vegas and wanted to give my thoughts. There were some issues that were pretty distracting and hard for me to ignore, but it was a really cool experience and i recommend it if you're in town and a big fan of the movie.
The extra added 4D effects were pretty cool, the tornado scene alone was insane and probably worth the price of admission. The Sphere has the brightest, clearest and most detailed screen I've ever seen and the footage they added to take up the rest of the screen is extremely detailed. The problem with this is they inserted the original characters into this new footage and the difference in quality is so huge that in a lot of parts, the characters looked like they were *on top* of the scene instead of *in* the scene. Issues like these that you wouldnt notice on youtube or your TV really stick out on a giant 16K screen. Also, the fact that like 90% of what you see on screen is newly created, all the background characters they had to add were *VERY CLEARLY* made with AI
I think updating movies for the Sphere with some added effects is a cool concept and hopefully the next movie they decide to do isnt 100 years old. Movies like Star Wars, The Matrix, Spiderman, etc would be really awesome there.
