5.0 out of 5 stars An Exquisite Revisiting to the O.Z., December 10, 2007

By	McEndree DeClue (Ofallon, MO USA) - See all my reviews

If you are expecting ruby slippers and a cackling green lady, you are in for an awakening of your own. Growing up with singing munchkins, I realized, hey, I am a grownup. And SciFi seemed to realize it too with a magnificent departure from the 1939 MGM film to a brilliant, futuristic, decadent, and sometimes apocalyptic telling. The reinventions of characters and fantastical sets soon transport you from the familiar to a place you find yourself hard to take your eyes off of-- from phosphorous-glowing trees, desolate paths, Metropolitan-like art deco palaces, and underworlds unlike anything and then again reminiscent of a certain alphabet city pre-Rudy.

The story itself is not for the kiddies. Mine were told continuously to leave the room, go play, and find something else to do. But the grown up fairy tale is long overdue. The story actually had twists, turns, and menacing meaning-- much more substance and meaning than the trifles the network and cable gurus seem to thrust down our throats.

I honestly cannot wait until the DVD comes out to feast my peepers on the rich masterpiece SciFi laid out for the holidays. (A much better smorgasborg than the Cheeto-fare of Lifetime).

And for just desserts-- SciFi scored an incredible coup with incredibly gifted actors perfectly tailored for each role-- most notably Alan Cumming for Glitch, Neal McDonough as the titular Tin Man, and the remarkable "evil" Azkadelia played by Kathleen Robertson.

Evil no longer is a personality trait to just carry a plot, but in this series, actually has a real beginning, reason to exist, and a true part in throughout the series up to the climatic end. This series is like a force of nature that I found myself carried away in-- somewhat like DG.

5.0 out of 5 stars Baum meets King, December 24, 2007

By	John T. O'Connor "Wrong Reverend Pope John th... (Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was very impressed with this series. Not only is the story original and fresh, but also the writing and acting are both so far above normal as to be nearly unbelievable. Most SciFi series are good, but far from perfect, but this one....well, all of the main actors are brilliant and even some of the more minor characters are well written and acted. The critters are well done and believable. As a welcome addition, Kathleen Robertson is brilliant. Such a beautiful woman, yet she can play the evil parts so well. I intend to add this to my collection when it comes out. Yes, this production is that good. Kudos to SciFi!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, December 9, 2007

By	A. Aki "Picky Eater" (Hawaii) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This will sound wierd, but this movie is like a realistic explanation for the original wizard of oz. I know its incorrect to say this, but, when I watch this movie I feel like its the real version, and the old movie is like a watered down "kids" version of the story. That being said, I really enjoyed it, all six hours of it on the Sci-fi channel. Anyway, I will definitely be purchasing this when it comes out. Its so cool to see a movie you kind of know, but then dont really know at all! I recommend it for anyone, all ages.
