This Is It (2009)

This documentary revolves around the rehearsals in preparation of Michael Jackson's comeback tour that never happened. Through this material, we get to witness the talent, the professionalism, the inspiration, the excitement, the passion and the flawless musicianship not only of this charismatic artist, but all those that had contributed to the making of Michael Jackson's farewell tour-to-be, a memorable experience. The reasoning behind the musical choices, the technology involved to provide a real-time optic marvel, the ideas taking shape into their dramatic finality, all is there. Interesting, moving, sincere, groovy, not only did I not get bored, quite the contrary in fact, I found myself head banging quite a lot within 110 minutes. Not a life changing experience. Just the commitment of a legend to his fans. If you are in the least interested in music and/or Michael Jackson and you own a decent sound system, well... This Is It.
