I got this movie at a Going out of Business sale at a Video Rental place, hoping that it would be a fun steampunk movie with a slew of gadgets used in the setting of Oz, but of course the only things that were even really steam powered in this movie and most were just things with gears slapped on were the Tin Man himself and some 1880's steam donkey engine models copied and pasted on a outer city background, the whole aesthetic didn't even feel steampunk at all. The story was rather boring, a girl named Victoria living in some dungeon repairing a mass of gears and pipes claimed to be a steam engine that pumps water for the city somehow, some ghost lady tells her progress is bad, she and two prisoners escape and get attacked by tailless lions and wonder into a munchkin village. Something, Something, Something, Blah, Blah, Blah, there's armymen covered in gear decals and wielding taser swords as the munchkins fly around in rockets, the bad guys send insect robots then gentlemanly-looking robots to fight, Tin Man comes out and wields his axe, the heroes go deep in the city to find Tinman's wife which I never remember hearing about before, they save Scarecrow and get the Tinman's heart, show it to him, war's over, the end.

Animation was rather cheap looking to me, one of the voice actors didn't sound like he was really in it, I feel ripped off and just gave the movie to somebody else.

It's 100 years after The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Victoria Wright works endlessly to keep the steam engines under Emerald City working. The Witch of the North, Locasta, with her flying monkeys warns Victoria that Tin Man who now runs Emerald City is pushing the world to war as the city keeps expanding its destructive influence. Victoria helps Oscar 'Oz' Diggs escape who turns out to be the Wizard's brother. They meet Magnus, the son of the cowardly lion. They're joined by munchkins.

The animation is low grade CG. The story is a generally flat road movie. The most interesting part is the world construction itself. It's fascinating to see Oz 100 years later. The Tin Man story is intriguing. This does need a better road trip. The quest needs a different starting point. It should start with a munchkin losing its home due to Tin Man's Emerald City and the munchkin would head off to the city. The group would arrive at the city like traveling to the Heart of Darkness. This world is a wonderful world to play in. It just needs some better writing and more grown up CGI.

Even the worst zombie movie I was forced to watch had more life in it. Brain dead and simply a waste of time. There are not enough words to express how bad this dribble is.
