About this movie

100 years after Dorothy clicked her ruby red slippers to leave the magical land of Oz, Victoria (Ashleigh Bell), a young engineer who is busy keeping the Emerald City gears moving, is suddenly whisked away by a pack of flying monkeys to meet Locasta, the mysterious Queen of the North (Julianne Hough). Victoria learns the Emerald Forest and all its inhabitants are in great danger because the Tin Man (Mathew Anderson) has once again lost his heart and in a passionate quest to save his love, he has pushed the forest towards destruction by industry and mechanization. When Victoria joins forces with the Scarecrow (Geoff Gustafson), a not so cowardly lion (Ron Perlman), and some industrious munchkins, they encounter a local man named Oscar (William Shatner). He reminds them that the Tin Man once had a heart so they set out on a quest to help find the Tin man’s heart and along their journey they learn that friendship and determination can overcome any obstacle and together end up teaching everyone in Oz that a heart should not be judged by how much you love but by how much you are loved by others. Based on the graphic novel of the same name, it’s a coming of age story and modern, Steampunk twist on the classic Oz mythology.

Ratings and reviews

Well, that's an hour plus that I'll never get back. Horrible script and dialogue and a story that was all over the place.
