Synopsis
"Michael Jackson's This Is It" will offer Jackson fans and music lovers worldwide a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the performer as he developed, created and rehearsed for his sold-out concerts that would have taken place beginning this summer in London's O2 Arena. Chronicling the months from March through June, 2009, the film is produced with the full support of the Estate of Michael Jackson and drawn from more than one hundred hours of behind-the-scenes footage, featuring Jackson rehearsing a number of his songs for the show. Audiences will be given a privileged and private look at Jackson as he has never been seen before. In raw and candid detail, "Michael Jackson's This Is It" captures the singer, dancer, filmmaker, architect, creative genius, and great artist at work as he creates and perfects his final show.
No local show information is available for Wednesday, December 31, 1969.

Michael Jackson's This Is It
I thought this movie was one of the greatest documentaries of behind-the-scenes activities and on-stage performances that I have ever seen. It also showed sides of Michael's personality that were not generally well known. I consider myself only a modest Michael Jackson fan but several times I had to catch myself from applauding his on-screen performances. He was truly a kind and gentle genius.
if you like Michael Jackson you'll love this movie but...
...I don't think this movie is for someone who doesn't already like Michael Jackson. It is pretty long. If you like him and his dancing, this is the best!!! I couldn't even sit back in my seat or hold back several times from clapping and got a little teary eyed as well as just feeling good and wanting to make a difference in the world during this movie. And, even after it! I actually want to see it again and I'm going to the IMAX version tomorrow so if I get a chance I'll rate the IMAX one too!.
Awesome
This would have been one of the greatest concerts of all time, seeing Michael behind the scenes like that was awesome he still had it and it reminds you of how great a loss he is. The smooth criminal portion will absolutely blow you away, man Michael was the best. RIP Mike
I heard it was good
The theater was rockin when I went by - love MJ
