Oz the Great and Powerful Mark Glass, Patch blogger: **½ This overlong prequel to the classic Wizard of Oz offers much to admire, but more to regret. Its new screenplay gives us the backstory on how the Wizard wound up there before Dorothy blew into town for her famous adventure.

The Wehrenberg Chesterfield Galaxy 14 Cine is one of two theaters in St. Louis that will show the film in High Frame Rate, or HFR, projection.
