This. Is. It. Really, if you want to go see a movie that will blow your mind, make you dance in the isles, smile ear-to-ear, clap along with the beat, throw your hands up in the air (and yell “this is awesome!”), and leave you singing out loud (as you walk by blocks and blocks of happy, dedicated fans huddled under umbrellas queuing to go see the movie you just saw; you scream “It IS worth the wait!”), then This Is It. This is it if you’ve never seen MJ in concert. This is it even if you have. This is it if you feel like you’ve heard every MJ song a hundred times before but you’ve never seen the songs performed or sound like they do in this footage. This is it if you freak out over MJ’s wardrobe of gold sequin pants, customized loafers, Ray ban shades, Balmain jackets. This is it if you want to see the difference between “toaster mode” and “elevator mode” stage choreography (trust me, you do.) This is it if you want to feel HIGH. ON. LIFE! We love you, MJ.
