The Wizard of Oz at Sphere
2025 immersive version of The Wizard of Oz
Summary
The Wizard of Oz at Sphere is a 2025 American 4D film. It is an "immersive" version of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's 1939 musical fantasy film The Wizard of Oz, created specifically to be screened at Sphere in the Las Vegas Valley on the venue's 160,000-square-foot (15,000 m2) video screen at 16K resolution. To fit the venue's capabilities, the film's visuals were enhanced with artificial intelligence (AI), the musical score was re-recorded, preserving Herbert Stothart’s original 1939 compositions, and multi-sensory effects were added to immerse audiences. It is the third film to be screened at the venue under the "Sphere Experience" program, following Darren Aronofsky's 2023 documentary Postcard from Earth and the 2024 concert film V-U2 that depicts U2's residency at Sphere. The Wizard of Oz at Sphere began screening on August 28, 2025. Critics were polarized by the film, with many praising the immersive aspects but criticizing the quality of the AI-generated visuals.
